I'm 5'8 and look like Claudia Schiffer. Just lying; always wanted to say that. I may or may not be wearing black.

fridge, that is a really scary photo. Do you practice severity in front of the mirror?

All I can say is that its a shame that you can't come to the Torture Garden meet.

That's a relatively non-stalker one. I have a great one somewhere of me looking exactly like Barry George.

Looks like I may be able to make it, but not till about 6-ish.

Ahh, you've shaved off the homosexual beard then, Fridgemagnet?

For those who've never met me, I'm around 5'10", slender (with a pot-belly), glasses, used (when I had a goatee) to be compared to Dr Green off 'ER' except even more nerdy (now clean-shaven but still nerdy), mousy-brown hair. Will undertake to wear black jeans (possibly leather ones if I'm feeling pervy), black short-sleeved shirt with sunset print (the same one I wore to Pride - it's fresh out of the wash) and leather blazer/jacket.

I'm afraid I do not actually have the head of an elephant - although my penis is of moderately elephantine proportions. This is unlikely to help you recognise me in a crowded pub.

See you there, y'all.

I might wear a vest top to show off my cliched tattoos and biceps. Then again, I might not. And apparently I resemble Rothkoid.

If it's raining I will be soaking wet.

Now you mention it SFD...

I'll be wearing black jeans, and either my implausible 'transsexual menace' t-shirt or a nice white shirt, but I'll try and remember to wear my invisibles badge.

A useful hint for Barbe-meetings if you don't know anyone, turn up late and look for a group where they're arguing over pop-culture. That normally does the trick.

Grr. It's eleven at night and I wish I were in the pub. Sniff. I think drinking whisky while perusing threads doesn't quite have the same fun attached as a real, live meet somehow.

Have fun, all. I wish I were there. Sigh.

You're probably all there already so you ain't gonna see this, but I am gonna do my best to get down there later. If not, have fun and play nice.

Well, I had a lovely time. I've come home to the most horrible, loud house - full of strangers, Abba being played at full volume. I'm hiding in my room and wishing I was still at the pub. I never thought I'd say that I wished my house wasn't full of lesbians.

Nice to meet you, Fridgemagnet. Best of luck!

Sorry, fridgemagnet. Helping my friend move house combined with the aftereffects of a weekend of debauchery have reduced me, quite literally, to a shivering wreck. Hope there'll be another time sometime.

Well, I'm home now too - it's been a hard weekend and I was painfully aware that I was talking shit - but it was great to meet everyone and talk shit to them. I expect there are people who are still in the Pillars right now, the hardcore. I will comfort myself with a pint glass of water and two soluble paracetemol.

*eeccch*

I'd just like to say - each time I meet Lithers, it's like a ready-made selection of all the people you meet at parties and think "they're damn cool, I hope I meet them again". I hope you realise that you States-side lot are going to have to keep up with this once I'm over there. And I don't want to hear any of these "oh, I live on the wrong side of the continent" excuses, that shit don't wash with me.

Farewell and adieu fridgemagnet!

I had to opt for platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross in the end but I did hear from a happy elephant boy that it was going well. It just wasn't the same in the GNER version - despite being surrounded by strangers, some of them singing loudly, and me drinking lots of Stella.

I'm sure these American chaps will clasp you to their collective bosom and cherish you. How could they not? Break a leg. Hell, break both of them.

'Twas nice to meet some new faces (as well as see the old dust-covered ones again) - Fridge (very briefly), and the Pin and Ellis show (a little less briefly) and craftily get my hands on Pin's zine.

Apologies to anyone I spoke to within the first half hour of my arrival, due to being half asleep and unresponsive. Hopefully we'll get a chance to talk tattoos next time, sfd.

...Talking transexualism with Ganesh (and watching Plums try to work out what she'd change her name to if she were to transition), talking 'House of Leaves' with Pin and Ellis (and still in awe of their excellent 'The Sky is Falling' which you all must get copies of if you don't already), talking nails with Lilith Myth and listening to Haus explain the plot of the 'Making Out' books while explaining how it all dovetails into '24'... This is the stuff cool meets are made of.

We must have trebled the 'Pillars' usual takings for a Sunday.

Ow. Head. Ouch. Really paying for my fun today... was good though, and I was glad to meet Janina and to have the chance to talk to Plums, cos I hadn't seen her for ages...

Great to see those of you I got to see and sorry to miss everyone else due to my insanely late arrival. And sorry if I seemed a bit off my head, it's just that, well, I was a bit off my head due to the previous night at Nagual. Fridge, sorry not to get to meet ya and good luck with it all!

Oh and the Barbelith Lost Property Officer (i.e. me) has one small woman's jacket, black, wot was left hung near where we were sat. If it's yours, pm me.
 
 
The Strobe

Yes. T'was fun. Even in the back of a nasty corridor pub with some really crappy toilets (with an evil step at the bottom of those stairs that I fell down at least three times)... nice to see y'all again, or not-again if we hadn't met before. All the best, Fridge, for life overseas!

I had a great time, it was nice to see what everyone looked like, I look forward to next time. Have fun outside Philadelphia Fridge!

sorry to miss this one, and a chance to meet fridgemagnet. Was in a pitiful state following the nagual- too darn tired (and mashed) to make a proper evening of it. sounds like it was good too
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
12:36 / 13.08.02
Ditto, though not even mashed.
