Who won the Pitchfest?

[Art]

Al Ewings, though I suspect that Tips was an inch away from winning, he got Thargs vote anyway...

[Generally Contrary]

So is that two in a row for Al now?  Pitch-fest king?

[Trout]

Nah, Art won it last year, but Al has won before.

Dom, Hannah Chapter did indeed turn up at our hotel at breakfast time.

Her hair and glasses were exactly the same and she even had the furry collar on!

[Mr C]

Ah, but was she clenching a chainsaw?

[gem]

the cape wearer revealed! I had a feeling it might have been you Dom,given your elegant dress sense.  you should let Jock have a shot on it though, he seemed quite upset that he had never worn a cape.

[El Spurioso]

Thoroughly recommended late-night venue for next year:  small and strange Lebanese restaurant serving very funky food and even funkier strawberry flavoured wacky-baccy Hookahs, Mos Eisley Cantina stylee.

It was one very relaxed El Spurioso that crawled into bed waaaay past his bedtime, still humming the shit-aliens-with-melon-shaped-heads Mos Eisley theme:  Dum dum dee dum diddle dee, diddle-dee-dee-DEE-dee....

[DavidXBrunt]

Heh. Capes.

Dom - Hannah Chapter was spotted in our hotel on Sunday morning. It wasn't just the hair, the glasses, the fur collared coat, it was the body language, the scowl. It was uncanny. If you and Morgan Freeman had been stood either side of her it would have been like a Cabals photo story.

[Art]

Al did win the one at Bristol, though not the (non-tharg endorsed) winterfest one.

[Trout]

Ah, right. Fair enough.

Hi all,

Thanx to everyone who came and said hi at Dredd Con, luverly to meet you all.

Erm...yep, I was a total fanboy in the presence of the Great Ezquerra, but that's excusable, I hope. Got the sketch framed and hanging on my studio wall now!

I look like my drawings?? But I was doing loadsa sketches of Mean Machine...scabby, ugly, bald and grumpy.

Ho hum...:-)

I wonder how Mean would look with a tiny little tufty beard?

Heh, heh, heh.

- Never forget the Trout is evil

[GordonR]

>>I wonder how Mean would look with a tiny little tufty beard?

Probably a bit like Andy Diggle, I think.

[Trout]

Ah, so it's a tufty beard that gets you recognised in the States, is it?

Has Entertainment Weekly named Best Breakthrough Tufty Beard for this year?

My weekend didn't end until about eleven last night- Longman, who couldn't make it to the con and myself had a few jars in the Bridge, north Leeds (Urrgghhh.. still feel brittle) a Kind of mini-post-con-shedded-fest-thingy-Cheers LMS

No worries mate! Had a cracking time and it made up for missing Dreddcon. Of course, the weird moment was when I went to take a piss and remembered that I'd left a pan of water to boil at home. Rushing out of the pub, leaving behind a very bemused looking Bart Diaz, I managed to run 50 yards before beginning to wheeze like an old man. So I power walked the rest of the way. Found the pan - white hot - on the stove and it didn't actually fall to pieces until I'd got it to the sink.

Still, lucky escape! It's amazing what you remember when you're taking a piss.

Since you seem to be the only boarder in Leeds I now demand we regularly get pissed ... oh, and you're invited to my house Christmas party on the 20th, if you're free ;o)
