The Scarsdale!
So, there was a thing on Saturday, down in London...
...in a wee pub called the Scarsdale
And this is what London looked like that weekend...
Well, okay, only just for that morning really I think, but this is Hyde Park that I walked across(very quickly cos I was late) to get to the Scarsdale!
And inside the Scarsdale were lots of Pros-y type people, only I'm not going to put up pictures of them, cos I don't know who's internet-shy and who isn't (I am, for anyone who cares to know!). I will put up this one picture just to prove that it really happened though...
See? If you look really closely, amidst the glasses and the carrier bags full of chocolate, you can see actual evidence of a livejournal-type bunny... *g*
The only other pic I have (I know, there I was in a Pros location, with a camera, and did I take any location shots? Not a one! Wasn't what was on my mind, to be honest - far too much interesting chat around!) is this one:
Which just goes to show that one pub looks much like another from inside, after dark... *g* But outside were green umbrellas, and hanging baskets, and white wrought iron chairs, to match the wrought iron entrance-y bit, and it really did kind of feel like I could be in the Fall Girl pub... *g*
Look - them inside:
And them outside:
(Thanks Tauna's Slash Den!)
Otherwise... I think I mentioned there were lots of fab people there. Shall I name drop? I think everyone's actually had their names dropped elsewhere in Scarsdale mentions, so why not?!
I didn't get to talk nearly properly enough to many of them *waves to jojosimco, heliophile_oxon, retrogirl73, elfbert, andreathelion and enednoviel*, and still only half as much as I'd like to many others icekestrel (aka just-down-the-road-girl - what is it with East Anglia?! Pros central!), lisaloveslewis, and of course the usual suspects, crimson_37 (and by the way, if you haven't seen the picture she did for andreathelion for Sweet Charity, then go now and see it - it's the most beautiful thing! I mean, I thought some of last year's Mistletoe artwork was stunning, but this..!) and londonronnie and probodie - to whom thank you for letting me kip in your hotel room! Much appreciated, and I wished I'd managed to stay awake longer for the reading-of-the-porn... There were even people at the Scarsdale who... brace yourselves... aren't on livejournal! I know! *waves also to Unnatural Blonde* (who will probably never see this) and... brace yourselves more... Paul and Baz! Yes! Token blokes! Who don't slash Pros! I mean please, what is the world coming to? They were... genners!
So... what happened there? Um... I'm not entirely sure. Well, I mean, of course I am, there wasn't that much wine involved, but it's kind of hard to say. There was chat. Sort of like there's natter at Nattercon. There was pulling of Pros-y crackers (hah, not the bestest kind, but the happy fun kind) and much non-wearing of the hats, and occasional eating of food (recommend the steak and ale pie) and various drinking of... stuff. There was only one broken glass (as far as I know, and no it wasn't me, and I don't think anyone wanted to throw us out.
And... I think that's all!
Went to Camden Lock on Sunday, and again - did I do location pics? No... I did finally buy an actual coat though, after three years of layering hoodie and fleece and whatever else I had available. Well, I was in Alaska for winter then... My new coat is long and black and sort of velvet-ish, with big pewter-type buttons, and it swishes as I walk. I've wanted a coat like that for years - never been able to find one to fit! So yeay for Camden. Could have wandered there all day, mind...
And... that really is all! Back to the condoms on Monday it was, and ordinary life just a little bit more Pros-ily brighter... *g* Except to say thank you to retrogirl73 for organising it all, and for the crackers, and for setting a date for next year's bash already!
