There was a meet (albeit a small one), and I had a Psion... here's the
report:

Time: January 3rd, 1998
Place: Gothenburg
Participants: Flabbergast & Jenny With The Temper

The only participants who showed up were Flabbergast and Jenny. They
arrived at 19.05 resp 19.15. Both had forgotten to bring the chocolate
covered coffee beans. This sad state of affairs was partly amended by
the intake of some beer (Flabbergast) and coffee (Jenny, who had to
drive).

At 20.50 food was loudly clamoured for. The entire party went looking
for a place of sustenance, preferrably one where the music wasn't too
loud, so it would be possible to engage in some conversation without
having to shout. A half-hour rambling ensued. After looking at
half-a-dozen restaurants[1], we of course returned to the first one.[2]
It proved a surprisingly nice place for an afpmeet - the food was
good[3] and it was pretty quiet though a bit too smoky.

The rest of the evening was spent discussing (amongst other topics of
interest) the mating habits of afp'ers, the lack of a decent flame war
(it being several days since the last one) and the plans for subsequent
meets in Sweden. At 23-ish the meet dispersed as Jenny had a long drive
ahead of her the next day.

Conclusion: Arve, next time don't you *dare* get ill, and Alan, please
make better plans in the future. You really missed something.

[1] One of them was a newly-opened gay bar. Annika disclosed that she
had once broken her toe there. She also claimed that this happened
before the place became a gay bar, but did not give any further
information on the incident.

[2] It is a fundamental principle of human psychology that we *always*
return to the first restaurant.

[3] Though the cook apparently thought that "medium rare" ==
"well-done".

Series 3a. Now with Shell3a. I've had it for two years now and it's
become indispensible.

Did you get it written? I never seem to get anything done at those times
when there ought to be a good opportunity.

>*Me* make better plans?. Sheesh!. Yes, oh temperous one!

Looking forward to it!

Have mine right here, waiting for the next meet. Unless they once again
are forgotten. Won't even open the package until brought to a meet.
Even if that means that it will never be opened at all.

Arrive to said resturant; Jenny- [2]'what about this one'
Flabbergast- 'dunno, isn't it a bit emty. Let's look around some more.'
J.- 'If you want to. It will probably be as always, we'll return
to this the first one in the end.'
F.- 'Maybe, but I have this aversion conserning too emty resturants...'

You didn't mention the cold and the rain, we were subjected too. Because
of my silly ideas. *shudder* Next time I'll listen to you, maybe...

Quotes[2];
during the walk to Jenny's car, conviniantly parked at my old school:
Flabbergast- 'Flap, flap, flap, flap, flap...'
while serching for something to eat:
Jenny- 'how nice it is to have a conversation with someone who holds exacly
the same wiews as I.'
Flabbergast- 'Agreed, I don't have to speak at all.' :)
in resturant:
Jenny- 'he came out under the sofa.'

Well I might have been wrong. Now that I did found out where I _was_ that
night I tried to found out what were there before the gay bar, to confirm
that this was *the* place. Only I've found that in these premises there
have been a gay bar for ages, even if it resently changed name.
Wich leaves two options, that I still don't know where I was said night
or...
Maybe it was lucky that I never did manage to decipher the phone number
to that really nice 'guy'[1] I met. :-S
