Lazlar Lyricon II: Monday 25 May 1998

   

Morning

On Monday we had the Transmat Debate. Most people were too hungover or tired or something on Monday morning to attend but the small number who did got to see Hodgesaargh's brilliant Transmat device and hear Rich Challis's superb sound effects to go with it, while a group of intrepid heroes argued as to who should be the last person left in the Disaster Area stunt ship. Nina as Eccentrica lost and had to stay behind for no reason other than that she was leading the Megapoints table and people wanted to see her collect -5.

At the same time in the second programme was the Beeblebear Chaos Costuming Workshop run, very successfully by Bettina Beer and entered, very successfully by Nina. How did she do it? Are there identical twins?

Dave O'Neill's Technobabble Quiz was popular despite his pallid complexion and the fear that he was about to puke. The answer to every other question seemed to be: "The Dyson's Sphere episode of Star Trek-TNG".

That's a wrap

Lunchtime waterpistolling was cancelled because Anne was asleep (it had been a long and lively weekend) so Amyl and Simo docked her 10 Megapoints. The closing ceremony was supposed to be followed by a couple more items in the second programme but nobody could take any more, one of these items was the gripe session but nobody had any complaints! We all crawled home or back into bed (in the afternoon!).

Monday evening saw the survivors hold The Agrajag Party in a pub down the road. We returned to the hotel at 11pm only to find, in a fit of pique, the duty manager closing the bar and refusing to serve us. So we piled up to John W Cabbage-Rees's room and partied until daybreak on bottles of drink we had brought ourselves, so yah-boo-sucks to the hotel who lost out financially and found their lift full of empty bottles in the morning.
