Thank you again Nate and team for organising and hosting us!

Thoroughly enjoyed myself, got to put some more real life faces to online screennames, talked with others I knew already, played with some cool phones (shhh - we're probably not supposed to talk about those)

Even met PeterReader! He's really quiet.

And some random phantom in a zombie teeshirt even turned up - no idea who he was as there was no nametag ;)

<- don't ask me where I am - I haven't a clue: its a tech thing ;)
Housewife computerer: not particularly great at either.
And don't take me too seriously.

Thank you everybody for making this another great evening to meet and greet. I wish I had more stamina to stay for an "after event" but just couldn't.

Thanks Nate and more to the point thanks to your Better half for the food.
Was a good night, looking forward to he next one.

Good to see everyone again and play with the new phones, I'm sorry I had to run off early, I could have stayed all night, but babysitters are not cheap.....

May the farce be with you!

xpd: Anyone take pics ?

I only got a couple, mostly badly lit ones of Dylan and the phones, JR with an Augmented reality pirate hat and Mauricio lighting up the corner of a pic making it look like one of those bad 'Omfg look it's an Angel!' pics from the pre-digital, instant delete age, back when that sort of thing made headlines. Pretty sure Mary (thecatsgoolies) got quite a few!

Keen on them nonetheless?

Absolutely!

Still trying to put faces to names, so pics would be good, even ones to laugh at
(did I just say that? ;) )

and for your dartboard too, right?

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.
