So, this is my birthday treat, a LARP um… festival? Convention? No idea what to call it. In any case this first night is all a bit of a party and hang out. My hotel is wonderfully close, met up with BBF for sushi beforehand and discovered to my cash rich horror that too much of London is cashless. Even had to pay extra for the Tube ride.
Still sushi is good and BBF even got me a birthday present! So I must make her cookies when we go to The Netherlands next month.
Walking into The Smoke felt a bit like walking into LURPS to be honest; there were so many people I knew, not just The Pirate or BBF but Radio Phil was doing tech and there were Room 13 players there. I brought cake so I had an excuse to talk to people, worked as well in London as it does in Lancaster. Wolfish said she’d never experienced one of my cakes that wasn’t slightly goopy so even the fact that The Tube had melted it a bit didn’t matter too much.
Then I headed to the hotel and read the shit out of Evil Bilbo’s props due to paranoia about running the game.
