That's nothing, but I know a man with the perfect answer.

I was at the soc.bi brunch before the 25th anniversary Stonewall March. Nearly 100 bisexuals were there, and after the obligatory photo montages were taken, we milled about, as bisexuals are wont to do.

JI grabbed, the London Bisexual Group banner (wrapped around a pole), thrust it into the sky, and yelled:

"I'm Top, follow me!"

And we did.

I will also be in Manchester on 23rd Sept *yay*.

I might well be there too!

Ooh. I think I have a vague idea of what you look like. I shall try and remember to look out for you, or ask someone to introduce me to you.

My icon is a fairly good picture of me. :)

Guide to herding Bisexuals :

Tell everyone what's going to happen
Tell them again
...and again

Specify time, and place you need to meet up
Mention there will be cake and alcohol (well, no Alcohol at Manchester Bifest itself. perhaps later.)
Choose a time and place that is at least 2.5 hours before the actual time necessary to arrive
People will arrive only slightly late, and you can go on your way

it's not just bisexuals that that description is true of.

Bisexuals are actually more like sheep or puppies - if you say firmly "Follow ME. NOW." they actually do.

Oh the power... :)

i quite like being tocotox but i'm not sure about the term psuedo girlfriend - it sounds like i'm not real or not human or something! Maybe i'm a shrub or a feak weather condition

We had a long talk about venues and don't worry it will be bigger this time around
