only a stupid answer, but at least try to listen to what is told to the
person in front of you in the queue. I lost count of the number of people
that asked me the exact same question as the person before them in the
queue. A little more nosiness will speed everything up!

Surprise: Just how many people assumed that I was an organiser, despite
the complete lack of orange clothing (and having an Irish accent). Just
how popular those "wee men" were.

Oops, here it is from my side.
*thinks* Ah, there is the lovely Dee, haven't seen here for a good while,
nice that she made it over for the convention especially after all the
good work in Millstreet (rocked BTW), lets risk a wee nod and see if I get
a response... Oh god she looks like she expects me to ask her a stupid
question and here's me without one while I'd usually have hundreds....

"erm....D'you think I'd fit into a small ladies T'shirt?"
*thinks* I hope thats stupid enough! Ah yes I can see that it was, better
shuffle of now and pretend that never happened.


Highs.
The whole thing, great to meet everyone again and seeing so many people up
for it.

loved the venue, I didn't get away to the school or make the trek for the
parade but the main part seemed just right.

The Saturday Diabolo session in the traders bit, watching Jacob Sharpes
and Zack Turner mess about with 3d to and from the balcony.

Some nice multiball sessions with Ollie and Pascale, The Italian guy with
Dreads, Dimitri and the man with a goatee.
Hammock of comfortableness and warmth.

Lows
T'weather, but hey, it was nice, dry and warm indoors. I had to re-peg on
the windy night.

Not getting it together to get to any of the shows except the main. (or
not relishing standing up for them after being on my feet for the whole
day).

Getting semi snappy at the two Irish girls trying to obviously peg me but
meaning having to stop what I was doing for fear of hurting them, peg away
people but have a go at making it an interesting/unusual peg, and not one
that stops somebody enjoying what they are doing. If it's any consolation
I felt a *** about that. Anyroads 'Mna na hÉireann, gabhaim pardún
agaibh!'

Having to reschedule my workshop then having to search individuals out and
give them individual ones instead (that was good actually).

Getting called Ray Mears when I reckon I'm actually loosing weight.

Goal
Learn some new multiball stuff and meet some more of the .org lot. Managed
that no problems.

Crush
The orgs of course.

Bain
My inability to competently do Vat calculations in my head making me
appear like the simpleton I am when helping out on the Butterfingers stall.
