It's "I look more eviller".

I was nowhere near London!

Well, technically, it's "I look more evilerer."

ludvig_van, that's a beaut.

flashboy, you can't be that evil, mate; You lift your pinky off the glass.

I had fun folks, I'm glad you could make it.

My semilegible shoutout reads:

scarabic: "smoke weed with your son."

Also, despite German pronunciation, my username has a W.

Cracking 'tache you're sporting there, ludwig_van.
posted by jack_mo at 4:30 AM on May 17, 2006

Sorry wig_van.
You're also on the compilation, which I'd not noticed before. I suppose this means I really do need to get a copy, to stay within arm's reach of the UK MetaAudioscienti.

Curse cortex and his community-fostering one-step-aheadedness.

Thanks jack_mo! It's a new thing. I'm trying to be as cool as this guy.

Awesome, hugsnkisses. I think we need some Mefi-logo "This is good" apparel.

Dear God! Is that a woman?

Sorry I couldn't make it.

@cortex: You may be wise, old man, but I am fast.

Wow, hot girl showed up, awesome. Also, that is a nice mustache.

I was going to say that, but it sounded sexist.

I thought only NYC and SF were allowed girls of the female sex at meetups. Have the rules been loosed?
More of this dangerous, liberal fraternsororitising!

What can I say guys, the ladies just can't help but show up on account of my rock star magnetism (read: moustache). At my next gig there might be several girls!

Dear God! Is that a woman?

This is why we can't have nice things.
posted by allen.spaulding at 7:18 AM on May 17, 2006

I just realised that I'm not on the compilation.

MeFi sucks.

"Hi Kids!"

Joining the awesome 'tache pile. Not everyone can pull that off l_v.

I've Got Scary Go Round on the brain this morning cos I can't reach the tupping site. Armoured Ant could totally play Ryan if they made a film.

Awww, my first shout out, thanks. I'll show up on the next meetup, promise (I may even be moving to the UK soon). And I'll explain the dot thing then, but it'll take the entire evening.

I hope no one tries, because it's stuck on pretty well!

Awesome! You're all so cute.

I agree, they are all darling!

Thanks, ludwig_van!

You're all so cute.

That seems to be the consensus!
posted by ludwig_van at 8:12 AM on May 17, 2006

You're welcome scarabic, although now you've made me realize I misquoted you.

(insert quip about summary marks here)

IIRC there were two lay-deeez at MeFUK I in Oxford...

There's been a plethora of (non-member) pretty ladies at the Glasgow meetups, thank you very much. Jenleigh didn't show up, though. The bitch.
posted by jack_mo at 10:23 AM on May 17, 2006

Pacific Northwest USA (Vancouver/Seattle/Portland axis) has many members of Team Vag present. Lotsa pretty ones too.
posted by matildaben at 10:46 AM on May 17, 2006

Jenleigh didn't show up, though.

She would've called to cancel, but her phone couldn't get a high signal.
posted by cortex at 10:46 AM on May 17, 2006

Fantastic moustache!

I PROMISE I will come to the next one.
posted by greycap at 11:01 AM on May 17, 2006

Next person who calls me cute gets cuddled and snuggled. I mean it, don't mess with me or I'll blow air kisses and giggle.
posted by allen.spaulding at 11:19 AM on May 17, 2006

It was a grand night out and it was great to meet everyone, even if some of you look quite evil.
posted by dodgygeezer at 12:40 PM on May 17, 2006

Yeah, but who's the most evillest? They're all pretty cute for evil guys.

More photos here.

Thanks to LV for a great parumping set.

Good to hook up with all you mefi londoners, too.

My bee-drawing skills are limited at best. This shames me.
posted by hugsnkisses at 4:30 PM on May 17, 2006

I'm bummed out that I couldn't make it. Damn education.
posted by k8t at 2:02 AM on May 18, 2006

You all look very normal for internet people.

;)
posted by k8t at 2:06 AM on May 18, 2006

And I would have been there too, if it wasn't for those pesky kids.
posted by MrMustard at 7:21 AM on May 18, 2006

Nice action shots, urbanwhaleshark.

I thought Gertrude's Storm were lots of fun, too.
posted by ludwig_van at 2:07 PM on May 18, 2006

Damn, so sad I was out of the country. But flashboy wearing a tie? :O
