Attendees :- Your humble narrator. Your humble narrators mum and dad ( now honorary afpers! ) ppint Andrea Roy ( without Kaiser :-( ) Ratty Rhys Mist Isuldur hippo Carrie Cota ( via phone ) Events :- I arrived at the shop at about 9am and took pint to the station to meet Andrea, Roy and hippo. We got back to the shop at about 10am and starting getting ready for the signing. At this point my parents turned up and got stuck in as well. Terry arrived about 11.30 and started signing not long after. It was around this time that I got trapped on the inside of the counter space and spent my time sorting out the stacks of books by Terry. During the signing mum got her first Pterry book, looks like another convert! :-) Carrie phoned twice while Terry was signing, the second call was made at some really early hour USA time. Terry finally went at about 2pm and somebody let me out! The meet proper then started with a mass migration to a local vegetarian cafe for hot food and drinks. Also at this point the rest of the attendees arrived after driving up from various places. YHN, was given the task of giving then directions from the shop and then waiting there to take to the cafe. After a short return to the shop, a pub was adjourned to before going on to a restaurant ( where Carrie phoned again ) and another pub. The meet finished at around 11pm. Afperish things did happen, including the appearance of a stuffed hippo and penguin, geeking of multi-tools and of mobile phones. Unfortunately a quote file was not kept. IMHO this was a good thing as at one point I became Andrea's official ankle-warmer, and I was _very_ glad the comments made by others were not recorded! :-)) Mart - who probably need practice at this reporting thing! -- Almost everything you want to know about afp is at http://www.lspace.org/ My own site is at http://www.mclapham.demon.co.uk/index.htm Afpengaged to Mary Messall, being afpadulterous with Spooky and afpchauffeur to Hippo.
