Well if everybody is poor I suppose I don't have an excuse. I'm sure I can muster a fiver or so.

Wizardly Wiles have ensured a day that will only get sunnier, keeping moting it be people! They say that if there's enough blue sky to make a pair of sailor's trousers it'll get sunny, and I can see a vast stretch of blue from here. Woot! PICNIC!

Bard, remember when I said pay attention? From that same post;
LOCATION- we'll be at the West end of Hove Lawns, the bit of green on the seafront next to the 'Meeting Place' cafe and the statue of an angel proffering a laurel which marks the Brighton/Hove Boundary.
TIME- About four o'clock, Saturday 20th of August.
..were you paying attention? :]

Yup. Wrote that down. More the problem was figuring out where the hell Hove Lawns IS in order to find said angel. Never been to Brighton before.

Leaving soon.

Head out of the station toward the clocktower (straight ahead) continue past it to the seafront (you'll be next to the Odeon) turn right, walk for ten minutes, easy peasy. See you later dude, isn't the weather fabulous!

I'm offline until the meet now, hope to see you lot there, weather is lovely so the lawns it is! Yay!

The meet ROCKED.

The first official game of the unofficial Barbelith passtime, Chaos Ball. While no rules were established by this expert comittee of judges, featuring representatives from Canada and the UK, they appear to involve three juggling balls and a frisbee-like object. Points seem to be scored on account of catching, style, and yardage. Quicktime video footage and still shots of this event provided by the Bard.

Seriously, it was good. A whole lot of fun, from the loads of snacks (thanks to Meme and others) to the booze and conversation. Was a perfect day for it. PERFECT.

Thanks for organizing this, Quantum.

Liquid picnic are naturally excellent. But this one was even better than that.

Are the pictures going up anywhere, Bard?

Bard: One-Man Humaton Hoedown

02:50 / 21.08.05

Not without the express consent of those involved. I was largely just making a joke. There will no pictures unless those photographed say that its OK.

Quantum

Pictures of ME! I want pictures!

We all had fun, bloody marys enjoyed all round, fine weather (thank you weather gods of all pantheons) and no fights about Optimus Prime.

Be sad if you missed it, be glad if you were there- nice to meet people in the flesh!

Speaking of pictures, Quantum, I need to run some of them by you becuase...well I forgot the names of some folks. So I've got three or four photos that are currently blank.

But yes...I'll put a picture of you up. Becuase you're such an egomaniac. With your swanky Magician t-shirt, and your really good tarot cards...oh yes, I'LL post your picture...

Anyway, that was a serious good time. No offense to the Bloody Maries, Quantum. It was good, but it just wasn't quite my drink.

Incidentally, it turns out that I COULD have hung out at your place for quite a bit longer. Bloody train was delayed by nearly an hour thanks to some fuckwit running out in front of a train down the tracks and delaying the entire line. Did you know that the Marks & Spencers in Brighton station is open till midngiht? I sure didn't. But I can give a first hand account that, indeed, it is. ::grumbles::

Fantastic fun, lazying on the lawns with divine Bloody Marys, radio/football scores, many lovelies and deelish food and then a quick home pitstop before regrouping at Optimo. Which rocked. Got home at about 9 on Sunday morning.

A jolly good show all round.

No fights about Optimus Prime, although someone was getting rather passionate about Skeletor...

Ace! More please! Yay!

Bard: One-Man Humaton Hoedown

16:24 / 22.08.05

Several someones were getting passionate about Skeletor. Anything to move the conversation away from Optimus Prime.

I'm hot for Skeletor's Havoc Staff.

It was a lot of fun and nice to meet some new faces. It did, however, mean that by the time I got to the ocean rooms I was utterly slaughtered and spent the next morning deep in the vilest hangover I've had for YEARS.

Damn your eyes Barbelith. You have led me down the path of destruction yet again.
