Thank you,
Aganzir, for the wonderful post! It does tell quite a lot about the week although you could have left out the photo of me in pink and leather.
The meeting was really interesting, one finds so many new sides in people when met face to face. Though ironically,
skip spence was the only person of the lot I hadn't met before - but neither had I communicated with him on the Downs which made meeting him all the more interesting. While truly fascinating discussions were scarce (and somehow tended to to follow the amount of alcohol consumed), the general atmosphere was at all times really warm and amusing.
Apart from learning a lot about every person there, other wonders for me were the proof-tasty food (both by
Nogrod and
Aganzir & Co.) and stories. It is fortunate that we seem to share a certain kind of humor and are not offended by even the nastiest of
Rune's jokes - though this time he was more of a target to nasty jokes himself.
While I feel like having many friends on the Downs, meeting someone live creates a stronger bond. Thank you for either organizing or flying to meet us. Even while we might not meet often due to distance and expences, I will always keep you in mind when travelling in the area.
PS: Someone - I'm guessing
skip - forgot their shorts, towel and toothbrush at our place.
