h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

so I'm sitting here at 2 in the morning too full of fun to sleep, or to even think about concentrating on my essay.

Oh My Goodness i enjoyed myself today. Okay granted the museum wasn't the best choice for a blind mouse, but some kind hootooziens took it upon themselves to a) make sure they didn't lose me and b) that i got to play with some of the stuff that was more tactile.

As generally happens at h2g2 meets, we started off in one giant herd, and then broke off into smaller groups, some of which merged and exchanged members with other groups throughout the day.

Then it was time for the museum to close, so we headed in the general direction of Font (the main meet pub) This was an interesting journey. I will publicly apologise to anyone who i ran over with my white cane! I was a little concerned at several points as i kept ending up at the back of the herd where i might easily get separated from the group.

still we eventually made it to Font. I did have 2 sips of a but wasn't keen on it, so found some sweedish apple cider instead. There was a quiz at some point, I answered 2 questions correctly for our team, and we didn't come in last.

there was also a competition for the best name badge, which I won for my mouse ears and decorated shirt. (i got a copy of The Book!)

i'm sure there must have been nearly 50 people there tonight from h2g2. It was such fun.

As i'm sure i already said, i'm still riding the high of meeting everyone (and if you were there and didn't meet me, there is always next time)

and tomorrow i get on a bus and go back to my everyday life I have an essay to hand in on monday.

But for now I am a VERY happy mouse, and I look forward to seeing some of the photos from this weekend. (i forgot to take any today!)

i really should stick my audiobook on and at least try to get some sleeps.

Mini, you deserved the and so happy for you.

Great to see you again, and you had problems. I know the feeling. But, for me, I cannot thank Mr. and Mrs. Pastey for sorting it, and also, with Phil and SuperFrenchie, and others, for keeping me safe and upright.

Bless you.

Mini, see you very soon, and on the and Monday...



MMF

Well i'm finally, sadly on the bus home.

It was such a good weekend.

See you all again soon hopefully.

mini

Glad you enjoyed yourself!

I enjoyed the meet just as much as everybody else - and I agree re:

is All Around. Seriously.

Don't. You'll make me cry.

It was a true fest, and I don't mind admitting it!

Safe journey, mini.

And now I nee to update my friends list...

MMF

Minicheesemouse, You do deserve the prize for name badge. I first suspected the group as being h2g2 from seeing the mouse hat so it worked.

The real in the original story wasn't nice to drink either was it?

MMF, I liked seeing the old photos. It was a nice diversion for people like me feeling too old to be sitting in such a place.

Hello to everyone else I did meet who is reading this.

I just came home after a whole day of airports... does anyone actually buy Ham and Eggs for 7.50 Euros? (seen at Stuttgart airport)

You can't be any older than me!

Bel, how could you? I was surrounded by youngsters. Thank goodness for Robbie to ensure I wasn't the most there.

And I uploaded the photos as a number of hootoozens had expressed a concern they didn't know anyone.

If they were appreciated I'm , but if there were any that caused upset, please let me know.

MMF

I'm older than you MMF, so you weren't entirely surrounded by youngsters!

>>i'm sure there must have been nearly 50 people there tonight from h2g2. It was such fun.>>

Pastey reported 51, so pretty close. Great to meet you, mouse! And anyone else I hadn't met before - and those I *had met before

Coelocanth, , if you are, you are wearing far better than I am. And I doubt anyone would have guessed.

And it was good to see you as well. And I was spoilt seeing you Saturday AND Sunday!



MMF

Does the count include 'me'?

One of these years, the flesh version will be there

You were there both Friday and Saturday, Amy, but I've no idea if Pastey remembered to count you...

Robbie Stamp was interested in our 'Paper Lady'


lil xx

anyone from "old" hootoo Beeb staff turn up ???

*ponders*

None that I recognised... I wonder why not?

Oh - and I was thinking pre-Beeb staff even...
