I'm so jealous!

I am proud to present... the York PPC Gathering, 2008! by Huinesoron on 2008-06-20 00:10:00 UTC Reply

Yes, it's been less than a week since the Gathering took place, and already I have managed to produce...

The Report!

Featuring, as ever, a great many photographs, along with (a first for any PPC Gathering to my knowledge) a seven-to-eight minute video, kindly hosted by Youtube (and currently, for me, not working, but hopefully that's just my computer). No, I won't tell you what it is, stop asking and just go and read.

Anyway! That's what the Britons among you do with our free time; just think what you foreigners could get up to if you put your minds to it.

Thanks go to everyone involved -- those who attended, and... er... anyone else who needs thanking.

I suddenly want hS's jacket. by Oozaru Angel on 2008-06-23 00:56:00 UTC Reply

I also want to host a Hong Kong PPC Gathering. Am I the only one in China at the moment?
Ah, it sounds like fun. by Inkling on 2008-06-22 03:57:00 UTC Reply

But photos are proof you exist.

Suddenly, that scares me.

*pokes* People! Peeeeeople! by CirГchen AnekГЎth on 2008-06-21 01:26:00 UTC Reply

You all are suddenly much scarier. People are scary, text written by people less so. Photos have proved you are People. Okay, I knew that... but I've been reminded. *points* Scary! Scaaaary!

*reads*

*outraged* Seven is NOT early! Five in the morning is early. Seven isn't!

...I'm kind of insane about what constitutes 'early' and what doesn't.

*sigh* Outrage over something ridiculous to be outraged about aside, I ... wish I had been able to go. *curses what she thinks of first, thus, her backpack, which has nothing to do with it* Why do I have to be the distance of the Atlantic from a lot of PPCers and the distance of a country from the rest! Meh.

However... yay! More Gathering reports! Well, report. Rejoice!

*is poked by her Politeness* Oh, yeah. Thanks be to hS for writing that. Thanks galore.

It sucks I couldn't be there! by Crystal on 2008-06-20 13:38:00 UTC Reply

I was in John'O Grotes insted, getting rained on :-(

So any plans for next year?
*can't stop laughing* by Sara on 2008-06-20 07:21:00 UTC Reply

I'm getting yelled at for laughing too loudly at the reading of 'legolas by laura'...but really, it's too damn funny.

"Well, all except the mind-numbingly long journey back to London, which got me into St. Pancras at 10 pm."

Is it bad that I read that as St. Pancreas? 'Cause that made me laugh even harder.

I really, really wish I could come to a Gathering. That would most likely make my life. XD

It was fun, though I honestly can't believe ... by Laburnum on 2008-06-20 14:49:00 UTC Reply

... that I managed to say the sentence "and then one of the orcs striped her and then he raped her and then laura said 'go away you bastard'" in public. Like I said (I think you can hear me say it on the film, but I hate the sound of my voice on tape so I haven't watched it), "If it wasn't for the random rape scene, I'd think this was written by a six-year-old."

At least he didn't rap her. (nm) by Maudlin Hart on 2008-12-09 01:01:00 UTC Reply
You should watch it, really. by Cassie Cameron-Young on 2008-06-20 15:03:00 UTC Reply

It all sounds pretty good, apart from the constant breeze. I'm kind of glad you did manage to say that sentence, though, because I'd have cracked up even more trying to get through it. And I crack up very easily in ridiculous situations. As the video proves- I think just about all the off-camera giggling was me.

We need to have a US gathering. Preferably on the East coast somewhere.

From what I know... by JulyFlame on 2008-06-20 09:34:00 UTC Reply

There's a concentration of PPCers up in New England.

* fall over laughing * by SealRat on 2008-06-20 03:34:00 UTC Reply

Wow, that looked really epic. I must try to rabble up a gathering for us troublemakers over here in the US. We'll terrorize Washington DC!

Much thanks for making yet another fantastic report! Looks like you guys had great fun.
Yay! by Neshomeh on 2008-06-20 01:23:00 UTC Reply

I love these reports. Vicarious living and all that.

It's too bad W_Monk, Cedar Copse and I never got around to writing up the Chicago report. And that WalMart lost me my photos. We went time-traveling and got harassed by Security Plants. And I'm pretty sure we all sang the Mary-Sue song together on the steps of the Natural History Museum.

... I don't suppose anyone is within a train ride of Philadelphia...?

~Neshomeh, here through July.

Ah, Chicago by BeetleFire on 2008-06-20 04:28:00 UTC Reply

See, if the US had a better system of public transportation, Chicago would be perfect for me. Meanwhile, I enjoy delightful reports such as these. Keep it up, PPC!

Funny, that's not what I heard about the crossbow. by JulyFlame on 2008-06-20 00:46:00 UTC Reply

And the rest of the weapons. xD
Sounds like you guys had fun! by Sedri on 2008-06-20 00:40:00 UTC Reply

Nice report, hS. I enjoyed it. I'm terribly jealous, of course, but I enjoyed it. Cheers!
