Indulge us, meet-up users. We've been sitting here for the last twenty-four hours, desperately trying to scrounge information. Feed us, let the beast fly!

Everyone gazed at their shoes and only communicated thru notes written on Post-Its.

After the Namco Station, we went to the Walkabout bar and got booze and foods. Then we needlessly travelled to another farout pub where there was brief karaoke, a cat, and magically appearing pizza.

Surprisingly not, at least not from what I could tell. Everyone seemed to mingle with everyone else. I thinking certain people have have flocked together simply because they were more comfortable, but over the course of the night I talked to so many people! Both those whose names I recognized and some who were fairly new to the site but wanted to come to the meet-up anyway. It was great.

It was great. Dangen, where did you go btw? You seemed to have went missing after Namco. The day/night was great though. I'm a little coughed out from the bitter London air, but it was all worth it.

Met some truly awesome people, and if anyone wants they can read up about it in my blog. Cause I'm going to go and relax now, so I'm not too tired for work early tomorrow morning.

Online persona's versus offline persona's was so interesting to see btw. Some people (NO NAMES) who do act like assholes or badasses online were totally not like that in real life. Can't we all just by who we are guys? Online and off? :*]

Photos are up!
Also, who was it who asked me if my Newgrounds shirt was fake?

random user: Hey, is your newgrounds shirt fake?
me: No, it's old.

noob ;)

Can't wait to hear a full detailed version of hobo episode :)
Also, the sooner I can see pics, the happier I'll be and/or the angrier I'll get for not being able to make it...

When I first saw a guy wearing googles on his head I instantly thought "Oh, god, I'm here with people from the internet what am I doing?".

And then about 5 seconds later I realised "Oh shit, that was Wonchop! Everything makes sense again!".

Fuck, wish I'd gone.

I was planning to but I don't know anybody on here so I pussied out..

I registered today and (I like to think) I got on well with everyone I had a chat with.

It did help that I came along with two other non-users who know about the site as a fall back, but it shouldn't have detered you, I came expecting to view a few people I recognized from across a room and ended up playing a round of pool with Tom.

It was a good day.

DANGAN, I'M SORRY, I THOUGHT YOU SAID CJ. I WAS ALL LIKE, WHO IS CJ?

You didn't make a dick of yourself man you were a real friendly guy to talk to.

Except you kept on saying how NEVR was a handsome devil LOL

Obviously the hobo is a big talking point, but a few moments before that, as we (Poozy, actually) tried to move the sign to take a picture, a security guard stopped Poozy from doing that, so Poozy sized up to him and, honestly, I've never seen someone jump as far back as that security guard did.

The guard looked like he was about to have his life ended, poozy must've felt like GOD.

If you're 6'4" or over, avoid bumper cars.

Once again, sorry Joe =[ me and will caused that injury lol, we thought you'd be ok!

Mate you were on of the select few people there that i HAD to meet, and it was fantastic to do so.

Also, best dancer on NG is obviously Bezman who's late Saturday night asking to get my mugshot, then after a while of photing saying (AS IF THIS IS A VERY NORMAL THING TO DO): "Thank you Andersson, can I take photos of your arse now?"

He wants a portfolio of Assfest 2009 lol what an interesting man :]

Me and Sam managed to get back to my place, but we had to stop several times for Sam to throw up his McDonalds chicken McNuggets, maybe getting them from a dodgy late night place at 3am wasn't the best idea.

Yeah the people in london don't know how to cook so much, i was sick when i got home too, me, Dry-Ice & Coop all ate from maccy D's so maybe there's a sign there that they carry food poisoning lol.

There's so much more that I could write up about that day, it was hella fun and I got to meet so many amazing people, but I'll keep it short for now.

I'm sorry i didn't talk to you too much, i'll buy you a pint at the next meet, promise.

We seemed to lose a lot of people between Namco and Walkabout. I know a lot of the kids went home or stayed at Namco, but I guess a lot were probably due to ID.

Also come to the next meet?

I hope so. I'll try to get a summer job and save up my money for train tickets, drinks and all that jazz. If I don't manage that, I know Leanne said she'd pay for me. Man, I had quite a few offers from people who said they'd pay for me - the problem is I had to revise and if I did take their offer, I'd most likely not pay them back :D

Worst thing is the exact same fucking thing happened to me last meetup, oh well...

Well, we managed to get to Walkabout before security went on the door, though we were still ID'ed at the bar. Only for the first drink, though, even though I was served by someone different each time.

I wish i could have tagged along this year. Hopefully i can get enough free time to make the next meet. Sounds like this one was a blast.

Same, same. :) Too bad about your ID, but I'm sure there'll be a next time.

Haha, yes. Also, I got like 100 pictures and some video clips taken from the weekend. I don't think I've seen any photo's from the Friday being posted here yet, so when I get around to loading stuff into my computer I'll post some funny pictures that had to be taken. =)

Wait...where you with the first or second group to get in? because the lot I was with got checked as soon as we walked in, I could have avoided the checker-girl though when I look back, I feel stupid :'(

Ah well, she'd probably have noticed me later.

Second, though I guess because of the size of the group they could've been "argh lots of people" and just stepped aside. :) Pretty sure there was nobody there.
You're right, though. Probably would've got you when you tried for a drink.

Seeing it will be a BRITISH users meet, you just shut me out of it without noticing :P
And no offense meant, but I will go to one of these meets only if its organised b Luis or another user I know personnally. Not that I don't trust you guys, but I feel safer crossing the ocean when I know Luis is waiting for me with arms wide open at the other end.

You were with the group I was in, right? I felt really bad that some people had to go if they had forgotten their ID. It was a really busy bar, not much seating which made things sort of difficult.

I hear that, it was though although my friends and I ended up getting a place next to some south african birds and started playing some drinking games.

Limited seating is a god-send on occasion!
