Another batch of pics from the London Meetup on Friday added to the pool and Illy document for make-your-own-meetup-sign fun.

Awesome. I love your time-lapse/panoramic shots.

Awesome indeed.

Yikes! I'm not normally given to fits of vanity, but that is one dreadful picture of me! Thanks a bundle Mr Ant.

I think that, due to an inverse proportion of beer:light, a lot of my photos stink. We need to get a London DaShiv.

(You might want to convert the fonts to outlines and save that Illustrator CS2 document as an .eps to make it more accessible ;-)

This may be heresy, but as pretty as I find DaShiv's photos, I usually prefer the lively immediacy of the random, badly-focused, dodgily-coloured action shots that arise from mixing beer with a cheap digital camera.

Also: God almighty, am I red enough or what?

Oh come on - the fonts are Verdana and Helvetica Narrow!
posted by armoured-ant at 5:49 AM on December 11, 2006

But not everyone has Helvetica Narrow on their machines - especially if it's a work PC. It's not installed on mine and my machine is locked down so that I can't install new fonts on it.

chrismear - I did notice that you looked somewhat red on the night; recent holiday, over-do the sunbed or was it just the hot pub?!

chrismear: are you the beauty in this one?

Ha ha no i'm just some guy. That's hugsnkisses.

TheDonF: It's my Chinese genes at work -- one sip of the alchy and I flush up something chronic. I seemed to be worse that night than usual, mind.

The pub was hot though - especially in that back room.

I'll do an EPS in a bit. Or maybe I should do a WMF for the PC users…

I am going on a diet in the New Year. That is all.

No, that's me.

Ah. Oh.

This is getting absurd; someone please call me when the hideous MeFites have a meetup.

Assuming I'm not the only one.

Fortunately essexjan hasn't posted the picture with me in it.

There are more photos?
posted by TheDonF at 10:53 AM on December 11, 2006

Thanks for reminding me, cillit bang. This is the only picture I took before my camera battery died. It's a grand photo of you, cillit.

Metafilter EPS.

I was so sure you said 'FPS' there.

Well, it's not just Half-Life that has snarks...

Or one of those cameras that magically removes excess chins.
