I met so many lovely people, but I was concentrating on having fun not taking names, I know yourself, Neon, Hyperlight, Simian and Tommy (don't know his hop name tho?) for sure, any help to fill in some blanks would be great

Bugs had curly hair and black&white stripy sock poi?
These things are so much easier once you've met people for the 2nd time
I know Garthy from Play and Falmouth, how could I forget to list him earlier after that dress!
I met a guy called Dom today who said he was from UCL (my height ish, short blondish hair, full beard, spins a bit of staff) I said I was hoping to be spinning with you guys real soon

"it" being that elusive yet attractive quality that one cannot describe yet recognises as wondrous? then,.. err, no.
If "it" is the music,.. then also, no.
In fact, unless "it" is an enormous amount of exam-related stress, then no, I probably don't have "it" sadly
I feel so lacking...

Is this the mid-90s or what?!
I wanted to link to appropriate cheesy mid-90s dance (which I'm sure TartanFairy has in her collection somewhere) but could only find this :
Amazing fingerpicking from a Fleetwood Mac dude (slightly harder than albatross!) (The fun really begins at 2:35)
Keep on practicing mate, you'll get there eventually
Also not quite there, but pretty damn impressive (I'm sure the laydeez will forgive him, way of the world )
oh, and I preffered the Fleetwood Mac guy when he looked like this!
to all of you, especially the ones missioning it to Ed
