Hey Rothy, I just wanted to wish you a happy belated, and I'll see you in March, my friend.

Yikes, sorry Tom.

Well I had a dashed good night. Sorry to leave as suddenly as I did which must have seemed at best odd, and at worst damn rude to Mordant and Meme but I was too drunk to explain that I was too drunk, so I headed off to a nearby tube train and promptly passed out. I did get home eventually, but, er, well the route was somewhat scenic to say the least. This is, for me, an occupational hazzard.

Oh and sorry for thinking you're 30 'Koid.

Hope you find your phone, Tom.
BOY, was that a night and a half. (Although I do keep finding myself saying "CHRIST! I WENT TO THE INDIE NIGHT AT THE FUCKING UNDERWORLD!!!" And then adding- "yeah, but I did fall asleep.)
Much malarkey. Cool fun. Enjoy your birthday, Rothkoid (if my drunken brain doesn't deceive me, I believe you said it was tomorrow).

Sorry to wimp out and miss the dancing... would have been tight cashwise anyway. Let's have our next one sooner after payday. then I can spread the pain over the rest of the month!

Had a great time. Lovely to see you all. Apologies for not circulating more. I was ...distracted. In a good way.

You think that's bad - I now have 'Hotel Yorba' by The White Stripes stuck on repeat in my head. Forever. Good night, though!

U o me the princely sum of fourty pence too don't forget.

(Oh and I blame you for my sudden and paralytic departure, Stoatster. Why did you make me go to the off license and buy that cider eh? Why?

Bill... I think it must just be because I'm a cunt. (DAMN! I hadn't factored the 40p into my finances... SHIT!)
We did do good chair-guarding, though...

Actually I think it was my idea to hit the 8.4 Druid Fluid! I'm worried about the fourty pence though. I mean, I've broken people's legs for debts of less than that y'know. But yes, our chair-guarding was superb, except when I was guarding a chair and someone took it because I was too lacking in basic assertiveness to stop them, and I had to run across the bar and get another one, which I did, and slipped it back into the spot before whoever it was came back from the bar none the wiser to how close he had been to total chairlessness. I not claiming never to fuck up, but I do always try to make things right as best I can aftywords.

Could someone fill me in on what happened after I left, then... it seems like the night was yet young (ie what happened after half ten...)

and damnit, now I owe Flyboy a drink I'd better come to another fucking Barbemeet. Sucked in, it seems.

Good night, anyhow, good to meet some board-people for the first time; even if I didn't meet you or speak that long, I'm sure you were lovely.

You know, for someone who didn't stay that long and didn't drink at all, I seemed to have misbehaved quite astonishingly.

I seem to remember starting with the "killing of the godhead" revelation, elbowed someone in the face, given someone a backrub, stroked someone else's hair, and developed a momentary doomed crush on one of the Barbelith old-timers who I'd only met once before.

I must be hormonal or something.

Oh and of course I lost my phone. Which was gutting.

Thanks for coming, everyone...

I have a strong feeling it was a very good night, though my powers of recall seem to have faded. Totally unaccountably. I can't even remember how much I had to drink, for God's sake. Um, and I think I may have indulged my habit of droning at people. Sorry...

Thanks to everyone who came along on Saturday. I was flitting like a motherfucker, so apologies if I missed out on boring anyone with my drunken repartee. It was great to see so many people come along, especially to something that revolved around me. And a drunken me at that. So yes, I'm really impressed at the turnout - bearing gifts, no less! - and thank you all muchly, muchly, muchly for coming. And for not laughing at my comical boots of doom. Y'all rock. Hard.

And I think this picture really says it all about the evening; alas, the "my raison d'etre is to suck cock" photo hasn't shown up yet, but this is just as good. Take it away, Flame...


More to come, I assure you. As soon as the developing occurs.

Today's the real birthday, and it's nowhere near as much fun as Saturday night. Even if we didn't make it into soho "FOR A COFFEE!".

Heh.

hey hon, sorry i couldn't make it, but an all-day session at college totally wiped me out (you try being empathic and non-judgemental and responsible and honest and congruent for 7 hours...) sounds like it was a good night tho'.

And your birthday's today? Me too. You're obviously a person of style, wit, discernment etc. Not 27 are you? A Barbe-twin would be a strange thing indeed.

Ooka! Happy Birthday! Alas, I'm merely 26, not 27 - but tis spookily close.

And a belated HB to Ariadne, who had her own shindig on Saturday, too!

That's such a great photo - it seems to capture the anarchic nature of these meets more effectively than the more common random group shots. More! As long as they're not deeply unflattering ones of me. They can be deeply unflattering, or of me, but not both.

Glad someone got that graffiti on record...
and as regards the fluffies, someone (I don't remember who) said they only had the function room till 6... in accordance with the prophecy:

At 6 o'clock their mummies and daddies will take them home to bed
because they're tired little teddy bears

Happy motherfucking birthday, Rothkoid.

Happy Brithday, even though I probably wouldn't have been welcome at the party if I lived around you. It looks like you had a good time.
