So we had the NG London Meet III last week organised by Luis and it was pretty swell. Here's how the day went.
-Took a 3 hour long train ride, reading a couple of mangas to pass the time.
-Got to London and followed the 'random kid in a Newgrounds t-shirt' to the meeting spot, where I saw such people as Hans van Harken, Sqeezy, HappyHarry87, The EXP, and a bunch of other NGers who I probably won't remember but am grateful for the praise and general non-bashing I recieved from them. (Seriously, no one was all 'god you suck'. What's up with that?) We all bought some Mr Whippy's before Luis showed up later on. We all signed a Tankmen shirt (to which I wrote 'think this is dust?' above the white cloud following the tank.)
-Moved onto Namco Station where we bowled, played games and boozed up, and is where KaynSlamdyke and Tom and Dim eventually showed up. During the time spent, I revelled in my suckage at bowling, won a bunch of tickets which I traded for Drumstick lollies and a cuddly meerkat, got oh so close to winning a PS3 on the oh-so-tortureful Stacker game, which continues to mock me whichever country I'm in, rammed into everyone on the bumper cars (proper bumper cars where you really feel the damage >=3), whupped Sqeezy at DDR and Air Hockey and fumed at the price difference between the two times I bought a Smirnoff Ice.
-Afterwards we went for Pizza and Waffles, got split up and spent the rest of the time with the Flash Bros and The Exp at some pubs (at which point I had become bored of drinking booze and just had a J20 instead) before I had to head back home before all the trains stopped.
So yeah, a simple day out but one that was quite fun, due to the whole socialness of it all.
Hope to attend the next meet at some point. :P
