MUDmeet, September 1999 Hat

At most meets, about half the people who say they are going to turn up actually do (indeed, I once went to a BL UK meet where I was the only non-organiser to show!). At this meet, though, virtually everyone who said they'd attend actually did! The reason was probably to do with the fact that it was organised by a mortal (Jincks), so people weren't afraid to come.

The meet was advertised as starting at around 1:15pm, but a number of players (including Jincks!) were late. The rest of us stood outside a travel agent's and waited, though, stalwarts that we are. There was supposed to be a game of Lazerquest first, but few people actually wanted to participate in anything that could be described as "exercise" so the idea was dropped in favour of visiting the pub next door. We arrived at around 2pm; I left at 6pm, but the meet went on for another 2 or 3 hours after that before finally breaking up.

I took photos of everyone except myself (I know what I look like), Marmite (arrived after I left), Azzurri, Gandalf and Fruitbat (the only three who declined to be snapped). There was terrible red-eye on many of the photos; I've edited the worst of it out, but if I've given anyone the wrong-coloured eyes as a result then, er, well that's that then!

Here are the photos, in the order I took them:

Finally, although I don't normally put pictures of pairs of people on here, Rosie and Crowley wouldn't have it any other way. As I'd already taken one of Zordell and Cloud at their request, I thought I'd relent...
