At about 0300, I awoke, finding myself sharing a bed with K^Hcat. Which decided that it was in desperate need of some gentle stroking - not very subtly demonstrating this desire by pointed (no pun intended) placing of a paw with semi-extended claws on my neck... Shortly after breakfast, Colm, Claire, Alan and I departed for London/Stansted airport, to pick up glinda and Emmet - who's third sentence was the memorable "I see I've been outgeeked already." The latter two were first checked into their hotel in Bury St.Edmunds (why should anyone want to?) - where we discovered the usefulness of a nokia communicator in collaboration with a dialin shell-account and lynx: nobody knew the directions to the location of the meet. Which we did actually manage to arrive at first, with enough time to find food and subsequently *still* be first at the meet location. Presently, 17 people are rearranging most of the pub's beer garden, with me having almost lost track of who's who, and why. Oh,well. Gabriel -- e-mail will be posted as i see fit. OK, I'm weird. But I'm saving up to being eccentric.

I have no hope of detailing everyone who was there - I'll leave that to one of the people with a portable brain (psion/velo) but there were lots of us, we filled the beer garden and a fun time was had. Memorable things from the evening:- Kazoo's and Nose Flutes - Bohemian Rhapsody will never sound the same again. Cabbage Flag. Michelena's remarkable talent for humming with someone else's tongue firmly down her throat. The grin on Dino-lush's face after his encounter with the hedgehog. Strange chocolate things with peanut butter inside. The Bellinghman moving the huge mushroom thing. Various quotes were recorded - much beer was drunk. Various people ended up staying here at Spring Roll so drinking and talking continued way into the night. Finishing just in time for the ppintish person to wake up whoever was nearest the door at 4am when she finally arrived. The morning has started with surreal conversation and no small amount of hugging. All in all 'twas good practice for the weekend ahead - thanks to all who turned up, especially those who came equipped with chocolate. -- Carol Willis, Ipswich, UK http://www.afawcett.demon.co.uk/carol/ BroomCon Organdiser http://www.afawcett.demon.co.uk/broomcon/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your mode of life will be changed to 0644.
