Post Bristol part one
Blargh.....
Back at work today after getting back from the Comic Expo some time between 8-9pm last night. I'm pretty brain dead today, as well as feeling bloated and sluggish from all the fast food and drink that I had the past couple of days, so right now I'm quite envious of anyone who had today off ( I'm looking at you, Dan and Skinner!), especially as it's still so nice outside.
My ideal day today would have been a nice long lie-in, followed by sitting on the balcony with an ice-cold drink (probably not alcoholic though!) and reading comics and magazines that have been waiting to be read for ages. Oh... and catching up on all my recorded TV.
Hmmmm, maybe I'll do that tonight, as I'm certainly not up to anything that requires me using my brain.
Aaaaaaanyway.....Bristol was fun, although over and done with alarmingly quickly. Mind you, my liver's probably glad of that. The trip down on Friday was horrendous for the time it took (five and a half hours) due to traffic, but due to the excellent company kept it really wasn't so bad at all.
Once at the Ramada Friday night was a typically epic night- we got started on the drinking almost immediately. Food became a bit of a problem as we discovered all the room service staff had been forced to staff the bar, meaning that there was no way of getting anything to eat by the time we even thought of it. Fortunately I was saved by the fact that Tony Lee had managed to order in a load of pizza, and so I nobbled some slices at about 2am. By that time and due to the fact that I'd not had anything proper to eat all day it ended up being the best damn tasting pizza ever!
As I wasn't scheduled for anything over the weekend........
OMG, I'm still writing this entry on Tuesday.
.....I wasn't in a hurry to get to the convention hall so Rob and I spent time stuffing our faces with as much from the breakfast buffet as possible so that we wouldn't need to eat until late evening, and so didn't end up waddling to the hall until gone past midday.
The queue at that point was quite long, with quite a few cosplayers sweating in badly made costumes ( oh, how we laughed!) whilst us fortunate guests got ushered in through the back entrance. Stealth arrival!
And now it's Wednesday, so I'm going to post this and get back to it when I'm not so busy
