Darrell Ottery
Mark "I'm ready for you now" Lowes

Some bloke called Terry

Helen Highwater
Tim Hunt
David 'The Hair' Damerell
LNR
Owen Dunn
Emmet 'The Tart' O'Brien
Mr. Fox
Quite a number of us, as you can see. The meet started just after 7.
The meet had not been going long when various chocolate confections
were produced and devoured and proclaimed by Pterry to be 'robust',
especially the wonderful home-made ones brought by Darrell. The
conversations round the table included discussions about film music,
the advice not to watch Twister on an aeroplane flying through
turbulance, Emmet and his pheromones, incidents that had happened on
Pterry's recent signing tour of the US, Slimelight and its denizens
and customs, SF beginnings, weddings, Quake was mentioned (but Doom
wasn't) Bryan provided both the words and actions with which to
confront pro-lifers (if your aim is to offend),
Emmet was caught on camera snogging The Damerell. Colette spent the
last hour of the meet sitting on Bryan's lap. Rocky handed out Raccoon
goodies to all and sundry (artwork, cassettes and copies of his
novella). A huge plate of delicious chips was ordered and consumed by
the assembled masses. There was lots of hugging going on as we left
the pub.
After we were thrown^H^H^H left the pub, a large number of the
attendees followed The Bellinghman and I back to our residence,
despite our best efforts to lose them. Various alcoholic substances,
such as Polish Spirit and ApfelKorn were sampled by the assembled mob.
Now you're going to ask me what we talked about, aren't you - well,
I'm afraid that at this time of the morning I'm having trouble
remembering but people seemed to be enjoying themselves. I am sure
that others present will be able to fill in the gaps.
Rocky decided he had overdosed on the insanity that is a gathering of
afpers and disappeared off to bed at about 1 am. The next to leave
were Darrell, Rob and Mark just before 2.
Finally disappearing were the (TOT) Kat, Emmet and Bryan, dragging
with them the Ben of Bens on their way towards South Kensington in a
minicab. At last, the meet was over, we could all sleep. Well, the
meet was *sort*of*over* even if under normal rules, the continuing
presence of Paul and Karen, Simon Callan left the place quorate.
"Night night, time for bed", said Zebedee.

Wow, what a very, erm, civilised if not to say understated way of putting
that last point <blush>. I'm just glad you left before that point, pTerry
or I might have (more) *seriously* embarassed myself <grin>!
I just wanna say that it was great to finally meet you, Rocky.
Oh, yeah, and those of us who headed off in Slimelight direction seemed to
more or less survive.
I think I'm going to head off in the direction of bed now too for a couple of
hours at least...
love n hugs

Very briefly, I started wondering if I'd merely imagined my
attendance...then I realised my imagination wasn't quite that
warped... :)

God only knows, my favourite moment was while Mr Fox was gracing me
with is presence (and I think he was flirting with Kat at the time).
I noticed a group of locals? looking over, watching Mr Fox, it's
amazing how interesting they found their drinks and the table when he
waved back >:)

:)
As no-one else has thrown any in yet (and I think I had the sole Psion
>:) here are the quotes which people wish I hadn't taken down >:)
"I've been picked up by Bryan! -- Kat
"I'm not mud-wrestling Emmet" -- LNR
"I can't handle you being vertical" -- The Dammeral to Emmet
"Paul's using three where one would do"
(anon after seeing Paul place three plasters on an area of his
body we wish didn't exist >:)

I would have attended if I could. Consider me to have been there in spirit,
I would have been there in spirits anyway ;).
And I'm going to Oxfrod on the 2nd. Come hell or Highwater...

I have a jumper that someone left in the pub. If you want it back, e-
mail me at my l-space address (bur...@lspace.org).
Oh, and it was a good meet, from Lunch through to breakfast the next
morning. Sorry to Mr Fox for beating him up.
Thanks to Alan and the fair one for putting us up.
And thanks to all those nice people in the pub who spoke to me:)

Don't worry, Tim - we're going to bring it the Forbidden Planet signing,
as requested by The Fair Colette.
>Oh, and it was a good meet, from Lunch through to breakfast the next

The hospitality was perfect. Everyone enjoyed their crumpet immensely,
IIRC.
>Sorry to Mr Fox for beating him up.
Darling... are you feeling alright? *boggle*
>Thanks to Alan and the fair one for putting us up.
And, indeed, for putting up with us.
>And thanks to all those nice people in the pub who spoke to me:)
'Nice people'? I was _sure_ you spent the whole evening talking to
AFPers. Hmmm...
