GABIT attendees thread

[MidwifeOnBoard]

Told you guys I was wearing my pj pants.

And drinking blue WKD and strawberry wine. We also have various cheeses, crackers, salads, thai noodles, pancakes, jaffa cakes, fruit salads, pineapple... all posh like from sainsburys.

Jaffa cakes! /geek

[NZNeep]

Should I bring jaffas to the chocolate party next time? These are the things kids in NZ used to roll own the aisles old timey theatres.

A kid at my play centre (preschool where kids learn through play) once inhaled a giant jaffa and nearly died, so they were banned. :O

Sorry Neep, I didn't realise that was you either

YES! I'm going to have to bring something from my new homeland too. I also think it's funny that we are sitting across from each other and having this conversation on line.

Shhhh, secret conversation.

We heard a rumour that AT6 is in North Finchly. Any comments? (The guy at our hotel looked horrified at the suggestion.)

[Chelle DB]

I spent most of my time trying to find my room, hence I missed meeting you lol. We'll make sure to talk at AT6!

I know I missed meeting up with quite a few peeps from GW when I was at AT4 - I reckon we should either have badges made up like we do at our Aussie cons or have a small quick gathering of GW'ers at some point in the Ren lobby...just a thought for AT6.

Next time 'round I am definitely going to do the PJ thing. I would have done it Sunday night as I really wanted to get out of my jeans but I think if I had gone back upstairs to change, I might not have come back down for fear of exhaustion. My screensaver was definitely on towards the end of that night!

Here's a thought - a slumber party to rival all slumber parties - except of course we'd have to go to our rooms to sleep at some point - but at least a late night cup of tea in our pj's. Or we all just rock up to breaky in our pj's...and no one is allowed to pike it...all in together.

My problem is that I don't actualy wear pj's........

Well you could always wrap a towel or sheet around you if you feel the need to cover up. Unless of course you're being literal and you only wear nighties in which case that would be perfectly acceptable!

Jumble, I took your Woo Hoo photos! Didn't realise you didn't know
No one recognised me this year! Last time everyone said "and you must be Neep..."

It's because you look nothing like your avatar Neep!!

[Tittamiire]

And we would never ever make up directions for Bev to follow...

never ever...

No never...never ever ever

I reckone some special con jammies, custom made and printed with lots of pics of the many silly faces of Martin Wood.

No, I didn't realise So now I owe you a HUGE hug

Sorry Neep, I didn't realise that was you either

So glad it wasn't just me

Oh, very good idea!

I'd never sleeeeeep!!!!

[Chelle DB]

Oh. So you're one of those peeps who sleeps in their day clothes then!!

So no pj's, no nighties...t shirt perhaps??
Ok moving on...Jumble can come in whatever attire she feels comfortable in.

I can't wait for the date for AT6 to be released...I have to word the old boy up...he already knows it's sooner rather than later.

Nope.......

I feel comfortable in Martin's arms - can I bring him?

Me too! Oh the power the G4 have over us - we're all hanging out for the dates for AT6 and TSE2 so that we can rearrange our lives

I would highly recommend you bring Mr Wood with you...of course you do realise that at some point during the event you'll have to share him with the rest of us!!

I would love to attend a TSE but unless it's extremely close to AT6 where I might have a slight smidgen of a chance to wrangle a jump across to Vangroovy, then my only hope is if I win the lottery. I shouldn't be so greedy. I'd be happy with whatever I can get.

I'd have a hard time stopping him - he's a very lavish hugger

Go buy lottery tickets!!! Wood absolutely LOVE to meet you

[antoa]

I will be sorting pictures today and will get them up as soon as I can. I miss everyone so much! (though it is nice to be home with The Boy - he says hello back to those that met him at TSE).

I napped a bit on the plane (though I had wanted to try and stay awake) and I struggled to stay up until 9pm. I finally got a decent night sleep (though I was awake for a time at 4am). I feel slightly more human.

Lies - That pic of Milou with the blanket is so adorable! Looks like she likes it

Hi everyone,

Sorry I wasn't on yesterday, I had to return to college for an assessment/exam. I miss everyone so much! My con blues have definitely begun and I'm so tired. But it's all worth it because of the awesome weekend we've all had!

I was wondering does anyone else feel different after they return from a GABIT event? I feel ready to change the world, to make it a better place for everyone, I feel empowered, I feel like I'm different somehow than I was last Thursday! Very humbling, emotional and a fun weekend!

I wish I could say a personal hello to all GW'ders that I met but sadly I think that might take too long, but it was wonderful to meet both old and new friends again! I can't wait to see everyone again, hopefully soon (but not to soon as I need to save some of the spendable stuff first LOL.)

My photos will be up ASAP and I will post a link here, it might take a little while because there are over 400 photos! I think I got a little carried away pressing the button LOL. It is the first time I have ever been able to take photos myself.

And I love that everyone is talking about AT6 already, I can't wait! Hehehe!

Every single time. There is something so incredibly uplifting about a GABIT event. I feel as if I walk away each time with a new blessing.
