Save it till the morning after

[j4]

Thank you to everybody who came to the various bits of our party on Saturday. There were lots and lots of badgers, and cake, and presents. You're all lovely people! (Those of you who didn't come are lovely too, of course, and it's a shame you couldn't be there, but hopefully you had fun doing whatever else you were doing.)

Somebody left a black shirt on the back of the downstairs bathroom door -- we thought it looked like fanf's, but not sure. Also, I never found hoiho's phone, so I hope he found it elsewhere...? If anybody else thinks they left anything, give me a shout.

Most weirdly of all, somebody seems to have hidden or stolen all the pillows from the spare room. They vanished some time before we needed them for people to sleep on (so we couldn't even blame truecatachresis for dreaming about marshmallows). Please give them back or tell us where you hid them!

hairyears took some great photos -- thank you! (Other people took photos too, but I don't think they've put them on the web yet...)

Aha! So that's where the shirt went. It will not be necessary to identify it by scent; if it's hempen and hairy, it's mine.

[j4.livejournal.com]

That's the one. Do you need me to post it, or shall I just try to make sure I have it with me next time I see you?

(Remind me when your Borders meets are, btw? I might try to get down there for one...)

Alas, I wasn't having that much fun not coming to your party. We decided that the Rotten Cold^TM was somewhat better but probably not up to travelling that far from home (and infecting new people), so went to see my brother's new house instead (about half an hour away), and ended up helping him move furniture. Overall I'd sooner have stayed in bed, to be honest, but never mind. I'm glad you had a good time! I don't even have a hint of a theory about your pillows, though. That's quite strange.

Tuesday evenings - the Borders on Oxford Street, near Oxford Circus tube station (*not* the one on Charing Cross Road). There's normally someone around in the Starbucks on the second floor from 6.30pm or so.

If you get there and there's no one about, text/phone me (see http://www.livejournal.com/users/karen2205/36699.html for phone details), since we'll probably have gone somewhere for food.

Thanks: just bring it with you whenever we next meet; I shall turn up to B-Movie Bare-chested, a la d_floorlandmine, having lost my other Vaguely Goth^TM black shirt elsewhere.

Borders meets... Wot she said.

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Looks like it was a good party - although I find the massed badger masks slightly terrifying!

[j4.livejournal.com]

If (as I believe) the next B-Movie is the 13th, then I'm afraid I don't think we'll be able to make it -- we're trying to be in approx. 3 different places that weekend, none of which are London!

Will see what we can do about Borders meets. :-)

I wondered if it was the Rotten Cold keeping you away... poor you! (And rotten brother for making you move furniture when ill!) Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better anyway.

The pillows thing is just FREAKY.

Sorry I didn't make it... I had cold feet about getting back from Cambridge in time for work. But even so I slept until half an hour before I was supposed to be there :/

Hope to see you again soon!

[j4.livejournal.com]

Thanks! What time do you normally head off for food? Do you go on elsewhere (pub etc.) afterwards?

Mike and I may be at Bmovie if he's unlagged by then...

Imagine six people in the kitchen in said masks actually doing the jumping up and down badger-badger thing. Terrifying.

See, now I'm weirded out. For some reason I don't expect friends of mine from completely different circles to know each other.

[hoiho.livejournal.com]

Phone located safely, elsewhere...
Thanks for the party.

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

I have the ph3333333333333333r! [grin]

(That's the sound of world-shrinkage - it happens fairly often around LJ ...)

[j4.livejournal.com]

Ah, glad you found the phone. Thank you for coming, and thank you for all the BADGERS!

[hoiho.livejournal.com]

I have more BADGERS, if you want them...

[j4.livejournal.com]

MORE BADGERS! MORE BADGERS!

(Do you mean more of the masks? Those really are quite scary badgers...)

Everybody's wearing a disguise to hide what they've got left behind their eyes

[hoiho.livejournal.com]

Yes, more of the masks.
Quite a number more, actually.

Re: Everybody's wearing a disguise to hide what they've got left behind their eyes

[j4.livejournal.com]

Um. How many?

Enough to go for the world record for "largest number of badgers at a beer festival", perhaps? :-)

Re: Everybody's wearing a disguise to hide what they've got left behind their eyes

[hoiho.livejournal.com]

Oh, fewer than I though; only 6 left, now. I mush have handed out 14 at the party. Still, it'll be enough for a wierd badger troupe at the Beer Festival.

Re: Everybody's wearing a disguise to hide what they've got left behind their eyes

[sparrowsion]

Unfortunately it's not possible to wear a badger mask and drink beer simultaneously. Even if it is a Badger beer.

I can see through your masks

[hoiho.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes it is; the masks only go down as far as the nose, leaving the mouth free to quaff fine foaming ale.

Re: I can see through your masks

[lnr]

You must have a bigger head than me then. I could see or drink but not both.

[k425.livejournal.com]

Not just LJ, the whole innernet world. Usenet especially...

Re: I can see through your masks

[hoiho.livejournal.com]

Straw?

[hoiho.livejournal.com]

LJ makes the diverse linkages explicit, though... like meeting someone in a club, or someone's house, rather than on the street or in a supermarket... or something.

Hmm, we normally move for food some time between 7.30 - 8pm - I'm trying to persuade people to move for food earlier rather than later, because it means I get home earlier. My weeks are very back to front with LPC classes on Weds & Thu nights, so late nights on Tuesdays aren't ideal.

Post food we either sit and carry on talking where we've eaten or wonder somewhere else - the last couple of times we've ended up in ice cream parlours. Generally by the time we're thinking of going somewhere post food I'm not too keen on going to a pub because I'm tired and the effort of concentrating on conversation in a crowded pub is too much, but we generally try to reach a consensus and do what the majority want to do.

Would be nice to see you:-)

[addedentry.livejournal.com]

We can do everything.
