Just back from dinner with Dive, Mr Dive, Iain, Aligorgeous, Dafttart and Smax. Books were signed, pleasantries exchanged, photos taken. Slightly odd experience (not the dinner - that was good food and chat).

I think I had what is best described as a 'reverse policerule' moment, by attempting to explain why Dive had just introduced me as 'smudge'. What I had intended to say was 'thank you very much for all this fabulous music I've been enjoying for yonks'. Instead the poor chap got some drivel about the neighbor's cat, and a brief exchange about where to put the vowels in the name of the other person I was getting something signed for. Oops. :roll:

ahem. move along

bollocks, failing to these photos properly as in the "daily thunk" thread, so there's just gonna be a link to photobucket, erm, in a bit)

You guys did better than me. Think all I could manage to say was, "Really?" and "I'm looking forward to Thursday". Twice!!

Fab evening if not a little surreal and brilliant to meet the wonderful Dive and Mr Dive at last. The usual sc.net fun was had and as ever, an amazing array of bizzare topics covered ;-)

Oh and I really am looking forward to Thursday!

joy was had by all, nearly sullied when i , ahem, freed one of the promotional posters; (http://s237.photobucket.com/albums/ff23 ... G_7409.jpg).
the security bod said "are you allowed to take that?", "Oh yes" i confidently replied. He saw that between us daftart and i were holding a discreet number of freshly signed books and demanded to see our receipts, which after 5 mniutes of handbag searching (daftart's noy mine) it was all groovy and i snuck out with the poster behind my back..

nice to meet iain, ali, dive and mr dive, and, naturally, some members from the london coven... oh, and Mr C.

by **dafttart** on 14 Sep 2009 23:02

Smax, I hate to say it but I'm just going to have to - AWESOME!!!

The poster incident was very funny. Still can't find my receipt!

by **Madgrad** on 14 Sep 2009 23:04

That poster is AWESOME-- so glad you managed to swipe it!

What is it about lefties putting a death grip on the pen? I do the same thing. . .

by **smudge** on 14 Sep 2009 23:12

Thanks smax, and Mr Dive - those are a lot of fun. And smax - you really don't look like a gorilla. Honest.

Glad you caught the 'Daftheart' moment :-)

At one point dafttart was in possession of 6 copies of the book, before realising she'd only paid for three. Natural born shoplifter that one

Glad for the Convent Garden Folks who got the books signed!
And that had the chance to be just next to Stewart.
Gosh! how I wished to be there today!
by the way who had already read the book? :roll:

any report of who is the first one, besides Dietmar?
