Squeeeeee Odyssey Trip Report (VERY LONG POST!)

[karaokegal]

OK, it only took nearly a month from the time I got back, but here it is.

Participants may feel free to correct any details I get wrong. I was in a daze the whole time and not taking notes as copiously as I usually do.

I know I've said it before, but the two people most responsible for my Barrowmania and therefore the trip are timbershiver who asked me to

Just to say: completely awesome, even if I'm not a Barrowman girl. What ever happened to that House convention? XD

[karaokegal]

Thanks. Sometimes the write-up is the best part of he adventure. :)

No idea about the House convention. It never seemed that solid to start out with. Wasn't that over a year ago.

Loft Lounge shirts FTW! lol. Great to hear about your adventures in London too - I loved having you guys around in our little town before you journeyed to the capital!

Glad you had an ace time - reading that's made me grin like a maniac all over again! It was such an ace few days, so thanks for the awesomesauce report! *loves*

Thanks sweetie! I'll always treasure my Loft Lounge shirt especially since I did almost no shopping and that's really my only tangible souvenier, aside from all my happy memories.

I'm so glad you were able to be a part of it. I honestly hope you get over here some day and I can show you a bit of San Francisco.

Oh never fear, it's right up there on my list of things to do!

Whoo-hoo! What with the rotten cold I acquired the following week (& still not completely got rid of) and the snow of recent days, it all seems so long ago. Sigh.

A little correction: The place in Birmingham is the Bullring, not the Bull Pen. The current shopping centre is 'Bullring', the previous incarnations, and the area historically are/were known as the 'Bull Ring'. Wikipedia has lots of stuff about the current place and the history of the site, along with lots of fab piccies.

Thanks for correction. No idea how I came up with Bull Pen. I should have paid more attention when we were in the museum.

Sorry to hear about miserable cold and miserable snow you've been suffering.

Great trip! Thanks for sharing the memories. :)

[karaokegal]

So much fun, but so exhausting.

"Even though I remembered doing it and printing out a confirmation, there are plenty of things I remember doing which apparently never happened."

Oh, do I sympathize. Me too!
Great narrative!

[karaokegal]

I'm still trying to find a way to be focused enough not to have that shit happen. So far no luck.

Glad you liked the write-up.
