Given the size of the meet, YHN couldn't be everywhere at once.
The meet for him consisted of;
Quotes,
Drinks,
Geeking,
Quotes,
User-friendly Cartoons,
Megamole and the AFPMadrigal Society performing at him.
Quotes,
Hugs,
and being used as a seat :)
oh, and there were some quotes too...
Report.
YHN arrived at about 17:45 to the hello's of many AFP'ers, who had
commandeered a corner of the pub, and the gentle strains of the
AFPMadrigal Society having a practice. . Greetings were made, and hugs
were given and received, and many names had faces put to them.
Soft cuddly toys appeared, among them two nessies, the Baby Seal of
Approval (which received the usual chorus of aahhhhh!s), and a small sown
turtle, which was promptly christened Little A'Tuin. After YHN persuaded
Megamole that he couldn't sing Bass (thanks for the seconding Suzi),
conversation returned to the musical discussion that was going on
previously.
More attendees arrived, and more greetings were made, and conversation
quickly fragmented. More attendees arrived, and things started to really
get fun. Megamole, Peter, and Kheldar continued geeking music; Some User
friendly comic strips were produced and declared funny by most people;
and Peter found himself handcuffed with a silk scarf. More people arrived
and conversations became very hard to follow. Gid and Leo began geeking
Welsh, and frightening poor MiQ in the process. Carol produced a
motorised hedgehog, which proceeded to "have fun" with a smaller fluffy
animal. The meet began to spread out and occupy more of the pub.
From this point on, things became to hectic for YHN to follow. He began
to talk to Nick, Jester, about the various lusers encountered in the
computer industry, (Nick supplied a very funny story about a Luser that
phoned the helpdesk to complain that the coffee machine had been removed
from outside his office). He remembers that there was a lot of backrubs
going on, (and Carol didn't receive one). He remembers the Kheldar was
subjected to some advanced torture techniques by Vicci who refused to
give him a hug for almost the entire evening, only hugging him right at
the end of the night. He remembers saying goodbye, and getting more hugs.
Any event after that will have to be recounted by someone else, as I
haven't managed to get the hang of remote psychic reporting.
Other than that, he opens the floor to memories other people have...

After which of course she was entirely forgiven,
and I look forward to being afptarted at during
many future meets. That is, if the problem of Barry
being better looking than me can be overcome..

Shopping in the SweetShoppe, Kheldar snipped:
'Life', said Marvin. 'Don't talk to me about life.'
Stored in Meta.Harem we have:-
The graceful Anejo and the winsome Merry...
A wonderful meet report, to which I shall add one of his own quotes
which he conveniently 'forgot':
"I've actually done that professionally which is how I knew exactly
where to direct him."

You must have been doing something wrong, mate 8-)
Of course, maybe the electric shaver makes things easier.
