Turnout was about twice sussed II and there were some unfamiliar faces, and I think DJ Cockfarmer is starting to get the hang of this pop+indie mixture. From the booth, hits of the night were "Romeo", "Do You Remember The First Time?", "Overload" and the "Baby One More Time"/"One More Time" megamix. From the floor, A Flock Of Seagulls and the Osmonds got a mighty reception and - astonishing relationship breakthrough - Isabel danced to "The Boy With The Arab Strap" and LIKED IT.
Best downstairs moment (you have to go downstairs to get to the toilet) - going down the stairs, Hattifatteners givin' it up for "The Macarena". Song fades out to be replaced by...."The Macarena".

Anyway. It was absolutely classic (classic and dud are now the two adjectives I always think in terms of and in my top 5 most used adjectives), and it was great to meet more ILE/ILMers and put names to faces and all that. And Hamish the Angel and Greyhound cat was there! *swoon*
Sorry for getting far too drunk. Blah. I decided that despite not having drunk much for ages I was only getting drunk slightly faster than usual and then vast drunkenness hit me all at once. Oops. And sorry for not being very good at conversation until I got embarrassingly drunk and then became bad at conversation in the opposite direction, too.
I hope the skypicnic is going well. Must say it sounded rather good from the planning posts, envy envy. Sorry I very rudely didn't confirm my absence but I clean forgot until it was too late to do so anyway.
