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.
