So, what up folks. This past weekend was the second coming of the Newgrounds Manchester Meet. There's no summer London meetup this year due to Olympics and shit, though I'm still likely attending the MCM Expos happening in May and October. But getting back on topic, here's how shit went down.

Friday
After general blog checkeries, I made my way to Birmingham in order to get onto the Megabus. Bus was late, but at the least, not as late as it was last year. No chats with girls this time so I just played a little Warioware to pass the time. Upon arriving in Manchester I eventually managed to hook up with Ragnarokia and made our way to Kyoto Lounge where Sexy Luis and some others were waiting. Shortly afterwards, we went over to the Odder Bar where I ate some pizza, french fries and what was described on the menu as 'Om Nom Nom Butterscotch Cheesecake', played some Street Fighter with Idocreating and was later joined by mrSimon, who I swear gives me an orgasm everytime he pronounces the word 'fat'. Afterwards, we headed over to the Orchid Lounge for some karaoke, where I gave an epic rendition of "Barbie Girl" which probably convinced the entire place I was gay. There was also some weird midget who kept given me weird commands that I couldn't understand due to not speaking club/drunk. Afterwards, we headed to another pub where I couldn't help but stare at the little reflection of myself in my slightly dilated pupil, before heading back to my lodgings with mrSimon, who talked about how I should take more pride in my achievements with asdfmovie4 (10th most viewed UK Youtube vid of 2011, Highest Viewed Animation, so you know) before taking a piss in the street. Me and Rag soon relaxed in hotel and watched some shit, I think it was Underworld somethingorother.

Saturday
After taking a billion years to get out of bed (a problem I'm having with my own largeass bed at home), me and Rag watched some a bit of Top Gear and something called Driving Wars (Rag was disappointed at the lack of explosions) before heading off in search of lunch. Finding Ido along the way, we decided to go to a Pizza Hut where we ended up ordering a bigass Stuffed Crust pizza that none of us could finish off completely. After only gathering one or two stragglers at the meeting point, we proceeded onwards to Kyoto Lounge where we played some more Street Fighter, as well as some Blur and the obligatory Jungle Speed (Rabbids version), as well as getting in some various drinks and observing some of the weird stuff people were playing. My fangirl Murt (only slightly taller than the previous day's midget) texted me with a request to send a pic of me kissing mrSimon on the cheek, only for the SMS client she was using to continuously spam me for the remainder of the evening. Later on, there was a Nintendisco thing where they had Street Fighter and Mario Kart tournaments on the SNES. I won a match, pissing off LegolaSS who was one victory away from winning the top prize, before just losing to some git spamming Chun-Li's Lightning Kick spam. Easy to forget how broken this stuff was in the 16bit era. Also briefly checked out a pub opposite for a quick cider before returning to Kyoto til closing. Me and some others then got some Domino's before heading back to our abode to watch some...beach volleyball or some shit.

Sunday
After checking out, I briefly hooked up with some of the other Newgrounders, though we eventually split off as I craved food. Went to Yo Sushi where I nommed some yummy Beef sushi and later stopped by a Ben & Jerry's stand. Was tempted to get some Cherry Garcia in regards to my most recent animation (which you all missed cos you suck), but went for some Alaskan and Chocolate Brownie instead, before eventually making my way back to the bus and back home.

So yeah, all in all, good times were had. And now to revel in my complete lack of money.
