I, am not sober...

Got talked into going on the annual work boat trip (witha attached bar). Apparently you can't call the booze cruises any more, because someone decided that that was "encouraging binge drinking". Right, like Torquay harbourside is normally full of sober people.

Anyway, it was good. I'm a little drunk. Decided to leave before the rest went to the club as a) I hate nightclubs generally, b) Valbonnes is a really bad club c) I was happy, so leave on a high and d) meh, tired.

So, I am not sober, but am happy, and really must remember how good the bay looks at night from a boat, I keep forgetting. Probably ought to go out on the water more often, it's been ages since I went sailing or rowing, which is a bit daft really. Anyway...

Exeter people? Warning...

They let waka_laka in. Actually, given how crazy you all are, she'll fit in fine. Katie? http://xnet.ex.ac.uk/forums/

Haven't been there much for ages, but they're still pretty good, especially at this time of year. There are a few communities in my u-info worth a look at as well.

For serious, you make me out to be some sort of headcase :P

You mean you're not? Seriously, given most of my friends are certifiably nuts, I suspect you'll fit in fine. I think someone set up an anime/manga thing a few years back, not sure if it's still going.

Didn't actually go to Valbonne, partially as I knew it would likely be full, but mostly because my flat is almost exactly half way between it and th eharbour and I had an attack of lazy...

I was actually wondering about that. I think I'd be too chicken to start one up myself but I hope someone else does, I can't live without my anime fangirling :O

Aahah, I see :D

To be fair, it's not that hard to set something up. When you get 10-12,000 people together there's a lot of people interested in any given thing.

Xnet forums are probably your best bet, there's prolly enough people interested there you could set the ball rolling and hopefully have someone with organisational skill bring people together.

Eleven pages. Precisely zilch organised. Partially my fault.

"I think someone set up an anime/manga thing a few years back, not sure if it's still going."

No, there was always just talk of setting one up, but no one got organised enough to actually start it.

Unless people just didn't tell me and did it all in secret...

For a while NetGamer effectively ran one, with the anime fans there occasionally using the Lemmy projector to watch stuff, but I don't know if that has fallen apart now.
