koshime: O, spin out!! Yer gonna get beef and you knows it, butt :P

[Dirty C]

spud, are you staying with me or what?

[Quicksilver]

Depends, are they anything like Welsh baps?
Mmmmmmnope. I'll bring some down on monday if I don't forget. :)

Gutted I can't go this fri. :( Hope you guys have fun!!

Petey, how old will ye be, my good man? (And no, I don't sound like Charlette Church....:nohope:)

EDIT: Eri - Nnnnooooooo!! :(

[Eriboss]

oh i don't fecking know where im allowed to post this craziness anymore, but either way, scrub me off the london list, juss cant make that shit. :(
have fun doods.

Eri

[Summer Pudding]

Naomi: 35. Lets not be forgetting Dixon though eh? I think he's 34 on the 9th?

Christian: yeah, if I could kip at yours, that'd be great.

cheers m'luvs

[koshime]

Ahhh. you'r B day.....guess its inappropriate to ask you how you appraoch a painting there and then ..then *grin*

[Summer Pudding]

kosh mate, keep the vodka and grapefruits comin', and I'll sing like a bird. ;)

You should come man. You're the only one of the old skool London crew I haven't met yet.

btw peeps, it looks like there'll be quite a few folks going. Perhaps more than one busy Friday nite pub could reasonably accomodate, so, I'm thinkin' if we end up like sardines, with barely room to swig, we should split up, Scooby Doo style. ;)

There's loads of great pubs a stone's throw away from each other, so if you find the conversation where you're at a bit flat, go to the loo, jump out the window, and join the others! ;)

It's a mostly arty farty types affair anyway, so that shouldn't happen.

luv 'n frenchies

Pete

EDIT: almost forgot. Could someone bring a camera? Left mine up north.

[koshime]

guess its a pubbin night where we leave our sketchbook behind and...err drink?

[Midnight]

Sorry to hear that Eri. I really wanted to see you work, too! Ink's a mystery to me...

Mid.

[Dirty C]

It's a birthday party, Chee. Get cho dancin shoes on.

[Dirty C]

Right, Michelangelo's now booked. Info in the 3.0 thread. Apologies, but we can't get in until 6.40pm!! It's way popular.

[koshime]

well - ya just have to find something to do in the meantime thats all...

[Kian]

well - ya just have to find something to do in the meantime thats all...

In the words of Father Jack: "DDRRIINNNKKK!!!"


.....or do a bit of drawing ;)

[Hyperion]

I live in UK :)

Don't know about meeting up with anyone though heh, you guys are probably all down south were as I am wayyyyyyy up north in lancashire :)

Hyperion

[Big-Dave]

don't worry about the time, I'm sure we can find *something* to do for a couple of hours in London (most likely kian's suggestions :p)

[Molly]

...Its come to my attention that this thread is becoming more and more confusing by the day.

Far too many of you are posting unecassarily, and theres at least 4-5 people shouting out at us where and when to meet up.

The conceptart.org community 3.0 (menu at the very top of the page) is where you'll find the UK forum with ALL EVENT DETAILS(go to GROUPS). DO NOT reply in that forum, as it will get confusing as this one.

DC, if its ok with you, could you please keep hold of the reigns for Michelangelo Event this Monday? I have seen 2 posts already from different folk telling us where to meet up etc, its silly.

I dont mean to be a grouch, but its becoming less and less inviting to pop into our thread as conversations are taking place at the speed of a bullet.

If you guys have MSN - USE IT.
If your making travel arrangments- USE YOUR PM's
If you cant get to, or know where the UK community forum is, copy paste the url into your signiture

Please, please PLEASE lets keep the Lounge tidy! put ur rubbish in the bin, and clean up after yourself...

Mama Mollyx

PS - 6.40pm Michelangelo is fine with me WELCOME to ALL new folk...:)

[koshime]

managed to catch the last tube home in time. It was nice meeting you summer pud in person finally, and the ole lon crew and some of yoru nice friends from work...

[Dirty C]

this *is* still the lounge thread guys. don't all shut up now :P

spud just went home to leave me with my hangover. great night out, sorry if i was too trashed again hehe - but really good to catch up with everyone, see tom again, and help celebrate one of our finest's fifth year of survival past his seemly termination date. the ram crew all seemed really nice as well - though i was briefly mortified to find myself being given the third degree and didn't manage to squirm out of it :S

[james]

i'm scared of terrible retribution if i say anything out of place...

[Kian]

lol Jay's right. Im scared DC.
Sounded like a top night. Is pudd doing some serious recovering this morn then? :)

[Dirty C]

hehe, he crawled outta here looking pretty rough :P went to get his train to leeds like a cat dragging itself to the gutter hahaha

- hey, on the recent bitchslap posting - let's just make sure everyone knows where the official event info is, ok? i still haven't organised my signature (hehe, have to have full english first) so i can't talk, but other than that, please, talk, harrass badger (where were you last night, josh?) and whatever.

[Midnight]

I can't actually get anywhere on 3.0 at the moment, which is a bit of bitch.

Hope you had a great birthday, Pud!

Mid.

[Badger]

Guys Sorry i couldn't make it. I got 4hrs sleep, then was in uni for the day, then had to pack and get my stuff home. Suffice to say, by the time i got back and had done the family/eating thing i didn't trust myself driving too london without falling asleep at the wheel on the M25 on either the way in or out.
See you Monday though.
S'pud, hope you had an excellent evening.
-B-

[koshime]

3 doesnt work reliably.....and a bit of a pain to get to at the moment.....

[Alcian]

Im having getting on 3 at the moment as well - I keep getting an error message.. I just use the direct URL instead of clicking on links in this forum. i.e, for my homepage - - http://community.conceptart.org/user/?P=Alcian etc. Then any part of 3.0 can be accessed with out a prob.
Well, this has worked so far.
Is this the same prob you are having?

[james]

some of the links for 3.0 work for me, like the lounge and suchlike, but accessing other people's profiles seems to be a bitch.

[blacky]

I'm gona stay in London from April 14th till 18th.
Might be swell if any of you guys where up to anything during that timebeing.
(Have never been to London before)
Will try to visit M.A. exhibit n stuff, am curious bout anything your city might have to offer. Had never had the urge to go there, but so far I've been hearing faboulous things only...

Cheers....

[Alcian]

I see it as there are two parts to the site, the old bit and the new bit (this being the old familir part). As long as you are the 'new bit' all parts pages should be assessible. links from the old site that shoud lead to the new part aren't currently working (this is what I have found). You need to type in the actual url to get onto the 'new' bit.
Hope that makes sense, oh and that I aint stating the obvious ¬_¬

[Quicksilver]

Woot, 'uck' meet tomorrow~~ Can't wait to see everyone's SBs :D

Ah, I might be in London again for a day next week. My mum and her friend are going but she's letting me roam around Central if I wanna meet up with you guys, then will prolly meet her in China town or something. Anyone free then? Let me know what days, okay?

I'll also be in London on the 27th-28th May for the Anime Expo. Will prolly end up going out to eat and hitting the arcades or something afterwards, so if you're up for that then by all means come and join. :) I take my SB everywhere with me anyway so I'm down with drawing and such then too.

...And no, I won't be cosplaying. :P

[Kian]

yep, looking forward to tomorrow naomi. I bought a brand new SB yesterday. But i'll bring ma old one too.

Plus this is a post to get rid of the fact my post count is 666 :S

[sketchling]

[RES]

Hello peeps how’s it going?
I need a little help and thought you guys are the best ones to help me out, I'm looking for some info on flights to the next workshop. It’s a long shot if I can make it deadlines/money and stuff :( but just in case...finger, toes in fact everything crossed I my just get there:^^:. So my question is what’s the best price for flights people have found?

[koshime]

errr when you say teh next workshop you mean teh europe one?

[RES]

Hello Koshime
It’s the Montréal workshop I was looking at but if there’s already info about the Europe one I may look it that as the alternative but it may be even worse for me with deadlines...Arrgghhh. I’m a bit behind on all of the gossip so I’ll have to swing by the workshop thread to have a look for info on the Europe one

[Alcian]

Whoa 100 quid :X, bet you lot had a great time. can't wait to actually make it to one of these meets *_*

[sleep]

great meet today, am i the first one to post?

summary: we sat in starbucks for a good while, went to forbidden planet, then pizza hut, then the british museum for the michelangelo exhibit (which was v. good) and then to nando's.

the highlight of the day (or certainly event to remember it by) was in the british museum. we were all taking a group photo when christian, realising he wouldn't be in it, ran to be in the picture and hurtled headfirst into a glass donations box, then was presumably whisked off to first aid and then hospital, needing some stitches. we had a mini thunderdome the topic being christian's tussle with said donations box, haha

yes, so, fun! fun fun. of course not so for christian, who was nearly blinded. hope it heals asap man, that cut was orrible lookin.

:yayca:

[james]

beat me to it...
my first meet. proper awesome. totally memorable. ta for all the advice from everyone. didn't get to speak to christian for more than a couple of sentences due to his... mishap though.

was nice to put faces to names.

J

[Eriboss]

lol.

[Dirty C]

hey, can everyone post the storyboards and stuff they did in the lounge? they were really funny :)

i'm tkaing the week off work, btw. my head seriously hurts now, and the left eye isn't so easy to open. it's starting to go purple too...

[yAdam]

Sounds bad DC! Hopefully it won't be too difficult to draw with one eye for a while, and hopefully it won't be long before it's healed.

Was great to meet everyone again, and people I hadn't met before. Also got some good advice that is going to help me a lot...Cheers everyone!

[Molly]

Boys n gals!

just to let you know kim, i have been drawing lots of squares and will show you how much progress i have made when i can be bothered to lug my scanner up the stairs, plug it in etc... incidentally when am i allowed to move on to circles? not that cubes are boring, just that spheres and circles have their own charm.

[lefran]

ARRANGE ANOTHER ONE PLEASE AND THANKYOU


(maybe ill have to come up with a stunt to top Christian at the next one...)

[lefran]

everyone said it was awesome
you should sit there bored or at least tell me you were!!!!!!!

[Midnight]

That was a fun day - it was great to meet everyone!

Mid.

[lefran]

ooh i just had a fun idea. What if UK people post photos of themselves in here, just one each for faces etc and people can do different style sketches/paintings cartoons etc...inspired by molly's cartoon of christian and christians painting of me (well my face lol) could be fun mehby and also is good practice of styles and character design....everything else too

mehby thats a stupid idea lol

[Kian]

Top photos there sir Badger. :) It really kicked in today, just how much of a fun time I really had trekking around london with the CA.org crew.

Respect

[Quicksilver]

Aaahhhh, such an awesome meet. UKer's, I salute you for being so damn cool. ;)

I wanted to go again next week but my mum told me to save up and go next month. :( Which I will do for the Anime Con (shout out if you're free on the 27th-28th May! It's a WEEKEND!!).

The Pixar exhibition was amazing!! Seeing raw sketches (some which didn't even go through) and absorbing the fact that very little of the initial work is actually digitalised was fantastic.

Man, I'm gonna have to gather up some serious cash if I want to keep up with these London trips, Florence AND personal shopping (okay, not essential, but still nice...).

[[void]]

Great to see the new faces and the regulars, had a great time. Posted my christian aid piece but gave it a saga twist.

And please i cant remember who has it but please please get rid of the photo of me mid sneeze!

[sketchling]

Yeah... hope the heads feelin better!!! :( Plenty time to draw though.

Great meeting everyone...some first time, some more than that. Very inspiring day. :)

On another note, Does anyone have pictures of that bone church from Prague? I would SERIOUSLY appreciate getting my hands on em as Im gonna have to paint something similar soon at work

Definately gonna have to get some money together to go to another meet soon (preferably not by bus this time though :p) Sadly realised I'm not gonna be able to upload my Christian Aid pics though till I'm back in Dundee. No big loss there though ;)

Quicksilver: Sorry I didn't meet up with the group for the Pixar exhibit. I had a look for the group but couldn't find anyone, so eventually decided just to go in anyway. Glad you enjoyed it too though, what'd you think of the zoethrope?

dirty_c: Hope the head gets better soon. Least it got you a few days off work though :p

[sketchling]

Thanks!!! :D

[koshime]

damn - the thread moves fast in one day

That bone church is surreal, or should I say - tomb :S, wont be going there then. Does anyone know when/what time of year the flourence workshop is? thanks.

If you come to the next one, DannySketch, wear a fully-enclosing helmet and full-body padding, and watch out for those relentless donation boxes...

Fran - I used to play the saxophone, but now I'm only really skillful at playing the fool.

Mid.

[lefran]

mid- ooh i taught myself tenor sax

I play oboe, piano, drums, violin and also tenor as said above
My theory is that art and music generally go hand in hand
ive generally found that my friends who take music or play instruments like art or the other way round


and yeah those donation boxes can be pesky

[Kian]

Fran, I've got an album. on the music part of my site. I was either gonna work in music or art (drawing/painting). But yeah, i totally agree on the hand in hand bit.
I used to play the guitar and keyboard.

[Quicksilver]

Mew, I play the piano and cello, and sometimes like to doss about on the flute. My parents bought me a dan bau which I've NO IDEA how the hell to work so it's gethering some mighty dust above the piano [sigh].

Yay~! Glad to hear people are up for next month! ^__^b Just a word of warning: it gets damn hot in the hall, so don't layer up or you'll roast!! I might bring along my moogle bag again. :)

Quicksilver by name, quick by nature. You beat me to the ref for the bone church!
Hehe :D

[Dirty C]

Hey kids,
Me and Kim are up in the Lake District with fifty backpackers getting into trouble. Somewhat of a hangover today, and you've no idea how many times I've had to explain the eye. Awesom country up here - did a bit of sketching on the way round Lake Windermere yesterday. Hopefully will get some more done today.

Up ridiculously early cause it was the only shot I had tf getting a shower. After walking 15 km yesterday, jumping round in tequila frenzy and no shower, I was gagging for it...

DC, head in usual ca meet state.

[Dirty C]

You had NOTHING TO SAY for TWO DAYS??

What's going on??

Me and kim had a hell of a time. Will update sb's with some sketches of the district tomorrow.

[DannySketch]

no one wanted the responsabilitie of following ur last post DC, it was that amazing, everyone was too afraid, that and CA's been down all day:(
well has for me, any1 else?
cant wait to see those sketches:D

[Summer Pudding]

I seem to remember some people doing the honours with the camera. Wouldn't mind seeing them snaps. Btw, I've been on my hols for the week, but had to to divulge the password to my work machine to a colleague. If you've had a natter with me on MSN, it weren't me.

Paranoid? Me? Who told you that? ;)

[Kian]

Well, I've had a crazy two or three days. My student housin took out my last installment, BEFORE i got my student loan. Putting me £700 overdrawn, and ive only got a £150 overdraft. So I did the shamless begging off my dad. Im paying him back next week tho. i shouldnt have to do shit like that at 21.

But then he really made my day, i was telling him about italy this year, and he said he'll pay for my flight ticket. And my flatmate and I have got some web design jobs, so I might be able to pull this thng off!

Oh yeah, I caved Badger, got a sketchbook now. I 'll show ya the stuff I made after the London meet when I get back to uni to my scanner. (Inspired by DC!)

700th post.

[lefran]

random question- do you know of an artist that frames their work with one they made themselves like the frame is part of the work?

for my final piece for the first unit in collage i made a frame around the outside collaged as it had to be a collaged piece but it would be great if i could relate it to something

so any artists??

[Quicksilver]

random question- do you know of an artist that frames their work with one they made themselves like the frame is part of the work?...
Sketchling suggested an artist who did that to me in our first meet but I compleeetely forgot her name. Think it begins with 'M' :P Anyhoo, she made borders out of her character's hair or clothing, if I remember correctly.


Haha, I had my away messege up saying I was asleep and had like, 4 people messege me on MSN. By the time I'd gotten up they'd gone offline.

[james]

howard hodgkin not only makes his own frames (i believe) but incorporates them into his paintings by, er, painting on them. not my favourite artist though. have to do a project on him. :dad:

[Dirty C]

Yeah, nonbody actually pays attention to the msn status messages.

Christ, I got to bed at 8am this morning. Does Dominos deliver this early? I haven't eaten for about 24 hours.

asdfkjsadfljkasdf;ljk

[lefran]

i dont think theyre open that early!!

[Kian]

Yeah DC its tru man. There might as well be just online or offline status'

Forget Dominos, you need a good ol' Full English. Noting that today is St.Georges day.

But my family are Irish, so we've had our piss up :)

[lefran]

its dinner time now!! you need a sunday roast go invite yourself to some random family's house for dinner

[Dirty C]

What I need is for my partner in crime to be awake so we can go eat crap somewhere and discuss the evening. Mental one, I tells ya.

[Kian]

K, I put up the pencil sketches I did straight after the London meet. I spent the whole week just drawing heads. Got friggin addicted! Had to stop though so i could do some uni work. But yeah, they're all in ma SB

[james]

god, will you guys keep quiet? it's alway talk talk talk talk. do you never shut up?!

[Dirty C]

Yeah, kinda quiet round here, huh?

I had three beers last night and it feels like ten. Yuck.

[DannySketch]

i had a beer

.....

well a sip

....

once

....

then i spat it out and sang a salvation army song:^^:

[Dirty C]

I had a sip of beer once, and then I finished that beer and started another. That was ten years ago, and I've never really broken out of that cycle.

Right, guys. I'm on the verge of being able to do a 3 day week here at work. This would mean I potentially have the ability to do some propa studies part time. I'm thinking about a few different ideas, but one of them is the possibility of doing industrial design, preferably a masters. Is there any advice you guys (particularly Jon and Sunil) can offer about this?

Cheers lads

Anyhoo, this is the statue from town I said I'd show Christian, but I think someone else wanted to see it too but I can't remember who. There isn't a plate saying what it's called or when it was made, which is a bit silly, but what can you do, eh?

Hey man. A helluva lot of pros have done the industrial design stint. It will teach you to understand your designs in the highest detail. You'll have to be meticulous and have an eye for detail. You may find theres a lot less artistic input than you'd like. But by the time you finish, your understanding and natural perspective ability will shoot through the roof, really giving you an edge. Its also a really good idea, because ideally, your concepts are to be made in some form of 3D eventually. Just expect a massive decrease in artistic licence lol. :yayca:

[WARHEAD]

Hey Christian - hope you're doin well after fighting those 50 (?) ninja's in the museum the other day.....haha

when i was looking for an ID course I looked at which were the best uni's for the subject and then which one of those offered a part time course. For me loughborough seemed the best because their full time one is a year and part-time was two years and it's one of the best, but leans more towards the technical side of design.

If you want more of a car design type then try Coventry, they do an MA in car design which is part time - very hard to get into though and it's 30 months, but it's world rated ! If you want more of an artistic course try St Martins, but not sure if they do it part time.

I actually might go full time if i get a scholarship - just waiting to hear back, hopefully fairly soon ! anyway good luck !

Hey i should be able to make a monday so long as its not too early as i have media at 9:15 - 10:15 so i could get a bus to newport then get the train ooooor just miss the lesson completely :D

[Dirty C]

Asoir, bring back your old avatar! Was it just you pronouncing your nic? I always cracked up when I saw that.

Third mental weekend in a row. Last night ended up in a two-hour long food fight. The floor of the flat we were in was three inches deep in a soup of bananas, beer and cake. I was sliding around in it like a seal at one point hahaha

How abotu Bristol in about three weekends from now Badger/Eri?

I met a girl last night who was a ca'er and didn't know it. Another Fran - if she appears, be nice :)

[yAdam]

A bristol meet in a few weeks sounds good.

How much cake, bananas and beer did you have for it to last two hours!?!:x Must have been a lot of wasted beer..:vodkamachine:

[Molly]

oooOOooooh DC, you met another CA'er??

We'll be nice for you;)

how is everyone?

Mx

[Dirty C]

Nono, she's just one of us in spirit. Has been looking for all the things on here, so was hyper excited when I told her about it. I expect she'll make an appearance :)

Adam - yeah, a lot of wasted beer.. but i think i was thankful this morning that it wasn't all in me haha

[Kian]

the bristol meet sounds cool. I think I could get myself to it
lol DC, you live more a student lifestyle than myself :P

[DannySketch]

a meet soon?u guys mind if i 'tag along'?

also im not sure if anyone would be interested but the BBC is currently doing a three part drama on the life of monet and his pals, its kinda, well 'BBCish' but its alright 6.35 on sundays, they just did the first one

[lefran]

Bristol = cheaper
Me= skintos

so yay its better than london in that respect!

Same here! Mad party, and whee, he has an electric piano~ Hehe

Bristol meet - I'm fine with it being in a few weeks so long as it's not the 27th/28th May as I'll be in London (Expo).

Fran: I think if you shaded the whole thing grey then erased/pinted white the highlights it would look a bit more metalicy. Have a look at how light reflects on metal (http://flickr.com/photos/irishblueyes/sets/48070/). Here's a shinier example, but it has a stupid watermark (http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/111216/2/istockphoto_111216_water_fountain.jpg). The bubblegum pink is a nice touch. ;)

Mleh, I need to update my SB :S It's been so long.

[lefran]

Have a look at how light reflects on metal


i would like to try and get it more metllicy but im not very good at copying things like that. ill give it ago tomoro
thanks for the links!:yayca:

[Quicksilver]

So, me and Eri wana know what people are up to this weekend?
-B-

[Quicksilver]

This weekend as in May 6th/7th? I'm free on both days but I think Fran's working on the Saturday. How about Sunday?

Jon can't make it this weekend (chatted to him earlier on MSN) but I'm cool with going to another meet if you guys are planning one later on since it's affordable. :)

[lefran]

well actually im owed 5 weeks holidays from work, ive booked two off for San Fran in august but i could ask if i could have one week off to go on a saturday.
This is only as long as i give enough prior notice for me to be payed, if not my cousin will cover my shift but ill miss out on my money!! so the sooner a date can be decided the better!

edit: waaaait i only just noticed- you guys mean next weekend? well i wouldnt be able to get a payed day off as its too short notice but my cousin offered to cover that shift anways coz i covered hers on sunday. So yeah if a date is decided then great! iill be poor coz i have a leaving do to go to the night before as well!

[Kian]

Badgerman. Theres no way I can make this weekend bro. Its my girlfriends birthday this weekend.

Myo, there's a Brizzle meet goin' on next week, right? I'm working on the Saturday, though I finish at 12:30pm so I'd probably be able to meet you guys by 2pm. It would be a bit of a rush though :S Otherwise I'm free all day on Sunday 14th.

Cute pic, trev :) It's clean and clear to read too. Soz I didn't comment the first time I saw it.

[Hybridstar]

Comics international festival in bristol on the 13th and 14th may folks. Great event, real buzz and i cant wait to get me some new figures to mount on my desk:teeth: . Anybody else going?

[[void]]

Hey, looking for a bit of tech advice. I bought a second monitor the other day and wondered if anyone knows how to stop the wacom from spanning the two at once because i get double the horizontal movement that i used to at the moment and wondered if there is a way that i can switch between the two.

Looking forward to the bristol meet, should be cool.

[Badger]

Sounds good hybristar, thanks for the heads up.
Also sounds like a great idea/place for the meet.
Who's free at that time, i can come meet you guys at the station/bus stops and be like a sheepdog. If anyone is afraid of getting lost.
I'll drag james along too. He might still be asleep though, so don't shout.

13th or 14th??

Shout here or on MSN guys.
-B-

Asgardian, i'll tell you on MSN.

Trev, I'll see when peppi is back in England.

[DannySketch]

i should be able to make it, although i know like NONE of you guys at the moment so theres every likelyhood of me getting lost, seeing as i have lack of mobile numbers and so on. with that in mind any1 coming up from London area? also is it saturday or sunday?

[trev]

Asgardian:


There should be a folder in the start menu that says "wacom tablet" click on the icon in that which says "wacom tablet properties" click on the mapping tab in change it to "portion" after that you just need to draw a box with the stylus to the area of the screen ya wanna use.

If you want to move the cursor over to the other screen your going to have to use the mouse, sorry but I don't know a way to get it to hop between both.

What do you guys think of this idea?

i like it its cool! but how does it steer or speed up/slow down?

[trev]

The beasite is bolted, pined and wired directly into the thing (need to add in in some cables). I was thinking he could just use his own weight to steer, but I think Im gonna add in an extra wheel so that he could turn on the spot if he needs to - it would work like tracks on a tank.

[lefran]

yeah i think an extra wheel would be a good idea, as i was thinking what if he fell sideways? obviously he has arms to push himself back up but a second wheel would be more stable right?

[Quicksilver]

yeah i think an extra wheel would be a good idea, as i was thinking what if he fell sideways? obviously he has arms to push himself back up but a second wheel would be more stable right?
Think of it like the melufa in The Amber Spyglass: they travel using one 'wheel', right? Same with unicycles. :) It's still possible to go from A to B on one in real life so I don't really see the problem here.

trev: Damn, that thing looks lethal! The axe is bothering me though but I don't know why.

Are you guys have a Bristol meet on Sat AND Sun? If so then we should write a list for each day so at least people will know if someone's missing on that day, hehe.

Think of it like the melufa in The Amber Spyglass: they travel using one 'wheel', right? Same with unicycles. :) It's still possible to go from A to B on one in real life so I don't really see the problem here.

trev: Damn, that thing looks lethal! The axe is bothering me though but I don't know why.

...EDIT:also how much money should i bring like wat do u guys normally get up to on these things?just a drink, or full blown meal, or wat?
In the last two London trips I went to it was for the whole day: meet up around late morning-noonish, hang out, draw, have lunch, draw, hang out then have dinner and draw/chill out 'til 11:30pmish 'cause the tubes/trains stop running at midnight lol. Dunno if the meets in Bristol are usually that long though.

Best wait for ma and pa (Josh and Eri) to come home 'un answer, Danny. :)

EDIT: Oh yeah, if me and my mum remember to make them, I might be bringing some banh bao which are Vietnamese steamed buns (one type with pork, noodles and egg - the other with sweet yellow bean paste) for you guys, hehe. We'll need a rough idea how many people will be going/want to eat them so we can make enough!

[Eriboss]

hehe Im glad you referred to me as the Pa and Badger as the Ma, thats the way it should be hehee. Yer I think Sunday is lookin like the day for it. that comicy thang is on, which i believe is £6 to get in, definatley worth poppin in I say even if comics aint yo thang. Then i guess eat all of Naomi's mums wonderful grub (i totally love you mum and her cooking aleardy hehe even though i aint met either ) then draw some, maybe grab some sorta alchohol or coffee for the younguns.

The mulefa had 3 other legs in a diamond formation to stabilise it though i think

And id like to go to the sunday as i cant go to the sat

[Quicksilver]

The mulefa had 3 other legs in a diamond formation to stabilise it though i think...
I think the guy's knees/legs are strapped in or something though. So I'm guessing all the movement would be from the hips/thighs.

Aye, I'm up for Sunday, yarrr! What timeish?

Then i guess eat all of Naomi's mums wonderful grub (i totally love you mum and her cooking aleardy hehe even though i aint met either )
Heehee. ^_^

[Badger]

Hey kids, it's your bristol ma speaking.

Meet is set for Sunday 14th of may. 10am at temple meads station. Outside to the left. Dad will be along shortly after no doubt.

Aunty James will be with me. We'll be obvious, i'll get a pic of us together taken tonight for the benefit of danny sketch and the young fran'igan.
As i've just popped up here to grab some more beers.

As daddy says, i think it's £6 for a single day £12 for the weekend.
You should all have my mobile. Danny, add me to MSN, e-mail me or whatever.

-B-

[james]

Aunty James will be with me.

aunty you say? i'm flattered if a little confused... i was so sure i had my gender sorted out from the last time...

edit: can i not be at least a vague cousin or male relation figure. or something.

J

[lefran]

the young fran'igan.

[Badger]

is that refering to me ? lol

-B-

[lefran]

ah yes so i do!

[Dirty C]

Grandpa Dirty HERE

[DannySketch]

Oh great so I suppose that makes me something really vague like a pet gerbil perhaps?

[cartoonfox]

Hey, Adam (Asgardian) was kind enough to bring this Bristol meet to my attention. I'm lazy and don't check this thread anymore.

Anyway, I'm up for this. So I guess I'll see you guys next Sunday. Woo.


peace

[sketchling]

sunday bristol me HERE (THERE) (unless it all goes in the pear direction.)

[Hybridstar]

Cool, im heading to the convention on the sunday to check out what rebellion have to say( thinking of submitting to them). See you guys there. My first meet, be good to get to finally meet the uk massive.

[yAdam]

Should be able to make it. Just wondering, what kind of things are there to do at a comic convention?...I've never been to any kind of convention before so sorry if thats a stupid question :)

[[void]]

Right ive taken the day of work so i should be able to get to bristol. But serious ten in the damn morning?! That means im gonna have to get up at like... i dont even know. But i think i might throw up.

[lefran]

dont complain!!! if i get a train that takes 40mins i have to get the bus before hand to newport that takes about an hour and a half!! so if they run smoothly one after the other id still have to get up at like 6:45! and thats not very likely ill have to get up at about 5:30 or 6 im guessing if i cant get a lift to newport!I dont think the busses run that early anyways

[james]

i know! ten is way too early to get to the coach station, it means i'd have to get up at 9 at the latest which is not good for you...

[DannySketch]

:teeth: just plain lol

EDIT:Hey kian man u better be going?i need to meet my official sketchbook bumper.

[Dirty C]

Yeah, why are we so hellbent on 10? You know I won't make it haha - how about 12? Slightly more realistic, especially given I'm coming from north london..

[Badger]

Cause that seems to have been the generic time all us non londoners have been forced to make it into central before :P
I dunno guys, depends how much of the day you want, and when y'all gotta leave.

Mum

[Kian]

Hey peeps. I'm sorry but I really can't make it. This month is just too intense at uni. So much work its untrue. Don't worry though. I'm defo not one of those "goes once, never again" dudes.

[yAdam]

hehe, just wait until your final year jon....

Hey badger... Are there any good buses that go from bristol to oxford or didcot?? 'cause I just checked the train times and the very last train that leaves for oxford and didcot is 5:30.. I might have to drive....:android:

[Badger]

yAdam, there is aparently a train at 21.30, according to national rail enquiries.
bristol Temple meads to didcot.
Where do you live? me and james are both from that area originally, and will be back when we break up for summer.

Kian Understood partner, hope to see you in the summer.
James i dunno mate, half nine would be possible, if you wanted more time to get ready.

-B-

[yAdam]

ahh, cheers, I'll check again... I live in wantage, I remember speaking to james about where you two lived, and I know its not far..Oxford is only a 25 minute drive.

[james]

James i dunno mate, half nine would be possible, if you wanted more time to get ready.


yeah, well i do have to do my hair, put on my makeup and so on...

and yAdam, didcot is the way to go. return tickets to bristol temple meads are like 9 quid with a young person's railcard. cheapness.
never gone by coach or bus so can't help you there.

J

[lefran]

so is it 10 or 12?

[Fai]

Badger's brother, Uncle Kafai will be there too.
im in the same class as badger

[Badger]

He's chinese, but no one has ever questioned that...
Welcome aboard Kafai, me and james will try and oust you from your bed.
(Kafai is also James' flatmate)

Onto serious matters...
What time do you all wana meet? Is it just DC who wants to push back the time?
-B-

[james]

well i usually get up at 12 so i'm with DC...

edit: i take it back. badger threatened me with stuff.

[lefran]

yeah i agree i do like to get up at normal times not when its still dark >_< maybe 11 if not 12?

[DannySketch]

hmmm i aint really bothered just that im gonna have to leave bristol pretty earlyish as i aint traveling through wood green, edmonton etc. at 10 at night, u know while its all fun getting mugged and everything if youve done it once you've done it 1000 times.
