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!
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 also want to host a Hong Kong PPC Gathering. Am I the only one in China at the moment?
But photos are proof you exist.
Suddenly, that scares me.
*goes off to hide*
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.

I was in John'O Grotes insted, getting rained on :-(
So any plans for next year?
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
... 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."
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.
There's a concentration of PPCers up in New England.
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.
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.

And the rest of the weapons. xD
Nice report, hS. I enjoyed it. I'm terribly jealous, of course, but I enjoyed it. Cheers!
