That sort of reminded me why Barbelith meets used to start at about 2pm on a Saturday (or God help us, sometimes a Sunday) and carry on until the small hours - so many people to talk to, so little time...
Thanks so much for coming to meet me! You were all fabulous! Wee evil tiny ducks, tiger's eye and gravel gold, irish lore book-prezies, and warts ahoy!
I'm alive and at home...though I've discovered traveling for 16+ hours straight brings out my inner Krampus. I was good though, no actual children were harmed.
Expect a Barbe-wart Study thread to be created when I'm at full strength.
'Twas splendid to see you all there, and to make new acquaintance of many and renew others afresh.
As for having a big September gathering - I'm still working on the Barbegig plans, for what they are worth. A bouncy castle could be a nice addition, actually.
Wanker, Quantum, and rosie x I'd really like to post the one of you in front of the you-know-what looking like our very own dashing occult S.W.A.T team.
Hmm, opinions vary on the netiquette of this. I'm always happy for the link to flickr or whatever to be posted and then I'll scweam if there's a minging one of me and make you take it down. Other people like to be asked first. You could PM anyone who you're unsure about, if the list isn't too long... there were a lot of casualties that day...
I'm quite happy for my ugly mug to be dragged before the masses if you have a photo of me. I do, however, have an unfortunate tendency to bloat under magical lantern light. I would like this to be taken into account as i have a number of shoots lined up.
yes there were a lot of peoples there and sadly I'm not sure of who everyone is from the drunken cocked angle of some of the images.
I'll go post to the pager and see if anyone has a problem if they do I shall only post the smaller group images rather than the long table shots so I can ask the infamous via PM.
Who is it in the left in the 93520003 photo, with Stoatie in the middle, where it looks as if you all have yellow tinted glasses? It is such a Daniel Clowes comic face, especially with the hand@chin!
Why is Stoatie having a monstrous crystal earring sucked through his head in that picture?
Flyboy, there certainly were a lot of casualties that night on the evidence of the pictures, weren't there? I had quite forgotten the extent of the damage.
