OMG I miss her already!!! *LOL*
badmomma64 has been working over in the UK for a week, and luckily based only half an hour from me! We've been able to get together over both weekends. We've chatted ourselves out about friends and fandom and family and fiction. We took her on one of our (in)famous whistle-stop tours of London, plied her with food and made her suffer the mess that is Chez Mitchell. But it's been SO MUCH FUN to have a fellow soulmate around, especially one as lovely as she is.
And this Saturday we followed other prestigious precedents - as held in the US - by holding our own OTP Con, the UK version!!
Watch and marvel at what three previously sensible adult people can do with too much coffee, Powerpoint, a net host and a bundle of Gundam Wing treasures! ^____^
(All credit to Hubby andbadmomma64 who created it. I was on support duties only).
Safe journey to her - she's on her way across Europe before she goes back home - and thanks for such great company!
Hope you all had a great weekend too!

We had *such* a good time, she's such a lovely lady. I'm pleased with the t shirts and they gave me lots of entertainment, too - I spent half an hour with the printer trying to explain that the figure with the braid was a guy! *lmao*
oh my gosh and the shirts - you know, clare's a saint. she really made an effort to get them as close to perfect as possible, especially with the "girl's" sweater appearing red on first run. fortunately at least "her" pants are a nice shade of purple... (poor duo...) ^___~
what fun! if i ever travel to england on business, i shall have to visit chez mitchell.
*snugs*
I'd be up for that!
xx
ya' know, we couldn't let that whole US OTP con thing go by without answering it. and it was grand fun.
(FYI: chez mitchell is a very inviting place. very welcoming, those mitchells, they take good care of you.)
Sounded and looked like an absolutely awesome time!! So luckyyy!! =) Thanks for the vid!
fish and chips! My friend did his exchange in Bath and he said he tried a fish and chips place somewhere in the UK that was supposedly 'the best'...and now fish and chips in Canada 'are nowhere near as good as there'....and he no longer eats them here. XD
You are so great, you actually *noticed* the key chains! I thought they came out too small, and no one would see how carefully we placed them!
I must admit, I don't think fish and chips tastes the same in other countries. Must be the oil!
*hugs*
*big hugs*
i hope you're doing weel, we spoke of you (and missed you) while we OTP - can't talk OTP and not talk Leslie... ^___^ love ya'
I looked a dork, is what. But we had a great time. And oh yes, food always features heavily in our celebrations!
^____^
still missing you terribly.
also, have read all of golden warrior and man was it awesome! and because they can travel (better than the pc) have already started in on twisted. really good clare!!!!
also started that other thing, but soince that's on the pc, well, not as far ahead as I'd hoped. i figure i'll make some headway in the next few days. will keep you apprised.
love and kisses, from gay - huh? no het? - pareeeeee!
