What's 2bags doing in Newbury? Wasn't he supposed to be on his way to India?
Well, I guess coming from Bristol, Newbury is on the way to India but then driving back to BJC surely is a bit of a detour?

That week rocked.
Lots.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Well that was lovely....
A fantastic week, nice and chilled, super inspirational - even though I didn't practice as much as I had wanted.
Nice one to Nico and Thomas, organsing the renegade with our motley crew was such a buzz.
to everyone Now who's up for Clonakilty convention this weekend? Buy your tickets now!

Bristol was awesome, at least what i remember of it was!
Im glad im a student, life on campus is much less of a come down from convention world than having to go back to a job or something equally as scary from the real world!
Is it right that im still waiting to fall over guy ropes or someones misplaced staff when i walk around at night?
