It was pretty cool…except for that one lady who kept _touching_ everybody. Ewww.

But I kid. It was fun, and only very slightly reminiscent of a scene from Archer.

I sort of wonder if a dodgeball game broke out after I left. Or if anyone made it to the open bar that was being discussed. Or at least the two-for-one shots.

If nothing else, I’ve learned that lemon pepper works really well on fish and chips. Props to the Galway on that one.

ETA: I just thought of a title for the evening - _A City of Two Dales_.

A great night with a great group of people. Everyone was cool and easy going and a lot of laughs, and pints, were had. Thank you for organising it Dale. Let’s do it again!

I know, right? And then she wouldn’t consent to a photograph. I bet she’s wanted for something.

Great time, a lot of fun meeting everyone.  
This morning, my head was pounding…like that’s unusual for a Saturday.

No dodgeball or two-for-one rail calls last night. No karaoke either but they _would_ be fun.

True facts: **Lochdale** literally charmed my pants off. PS: Has anyone seen my pants?  
**MeanOldLady** met barely a third of my expectations based on username.  
**Number** wasn’t kidding about the hat but, trust me, the cat can sing.  
Finally, a big thank you shout to **dalej42** for organizing TWO fests this year.

I’ll share the photo with everyone who was in it. So, lessee, that’d be **dalej42** , me and a bit of **Number**. Who am I missing? Nope, all there. Slide me an email address if you’d like it.
