You know in that last post, I said "this convention better be bloody good"? Well..
Things I did at YooT I
really didn't expect to do:
Spent about an hour bouncing up and down on a space hopper at the MP3 disco with
catabolism ,
nmg and a random baby :) (whose mother was disgracefully absent loitering somewhere near a giant stack of Harry Potter books!!)
Pogoed to the Undertones, Human League and Bronski Beat with
lostcarparkwhile
lproven boggled:)
Played Toshiko in Torchwood Wobble Vision (yay for Cpt Tlantl Jack!!)
RANTING. Which is, as every ful kno, a performamnce art:) About town planners, and about people going OCD over spoilers, but mainly about SOUTHAMPTON, yay!!
Made a
chocolate alien insane mermaid alien queen with icing sugar, liquid choc, ganache, and green liquorice stuff, and recovered from the hypoglycaemic shock several days later..
Tried out fencing with
david_cookand learnt some radical body balance off goddess of the convention,
darth_tiggerRan around half the hotel searching for a stocking to defend Snotnose's honour (why, why?) and still got beaten to the punch by
lostcarpark!! damn!!
Took action paparazzi pix of
seph_hazard MCing the cabaret, overseeing Twister, telling the most appalling
lies truths, diving through cardboard walls into inflatable sofas and generally doing most things except make the tea:)
Voted with my arse that Owen was a rat faced weasel hearted date rapist!!! which, as
johncoxon said turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable :) I think I'll try it on my students next year!
Ate smoked moose heart (not bad, though i do admit to feeling slightly ill when told what it was! thanks
suaveswede !)
Made it back on the trains, EARLY, without having to either grow wings or gills..
All this, and I failed to get spoiled by the omnipresent Harry Potter readers (NO THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION!)
