I had a good time, it was good to meet so many people and put a face to a name, had one too many a gin to drink I wasn't shit faced but a bit tipsy.
we had some interesting discussions all around, it was la bit like the forums in real life.
lastly, thanks to Ecureilx for a drop back home in the cab.
To get there early is on time and showing up on time is late

I know many others were there but I didn't get to talk to you - maybe next time.
Would like to meet JR8 one day in person one day - he seems to have good taste in music.
Andrew.
Nice meeting all of you too! Looking forward to next one!
btw, @rajagainstthemachine, love your hair. definitely has the 'love guru' look.

haha i definitely do not want the love guru tag on me. I blame the ref for this.

Wish I could have been there with the gang again, but it looks like a good time was had by all. Next best thing was a late night G&T (Martin Millers and Fever Tree tonic) session with friends, so I did join you in 'spirit' as promised.
SE, we need to get these folks whipped into shape regarding the plane tickets for the next one.
Be careful what you wish for

We ended up on Circular Road at a Karaoke dive called "Coyote" and my poor ears took a real beating! Aster knows some really shady looking characters (but actually pretty friendly), I must say!

Ah, and I believe our good ladies had retired from the scene before the coyotes rolled in?
