Hey dudes. Just to say a big wet jew to all of the people who may the weekend. I would just like to say it was great meeting you all.....

I would like to, but it would be an extreme lie.

So instead i'll just say that it would have been better if my damn ugly girlfriend (I think you know him as Snarl) wasn't such a raving elton john. I'm still waiting for him to finish drying his eggs so we can leave!

Anyway, doubtless I won't be here for ages. but I will try and check for replies (although dont be be suprised if I'm not here for a while - will try though!) I'll probably be somewhere practising my slow tug

Love and peace to all my homies

And this is why I am always, always so curious about these get-togethers you guys do.

Jetfire · Post by **Jetfire** » Sun Jul 24, 2005 8:23 am

I had a ncie time considering I ewas recovered from being utterly wreaked the day before.

I loved the way that with every joke he cracked Crafty had to explain that he and Snarlos ware not gay

Impy, nice to meet you, sadly we hardly chatted because my head minged for most of the day. Still you're a huge guy almost a giant.

Rebris, hope you get home safely you insolent dog. Nice ta finally meet you.Nice you final informed us of what you do and not what we think you do

Top give a very quick overview, this one involved Emvee wearing an man-skirt, a search for a closed gay bar in which robots serve you your drink, Emvee showing us what's underneath his man-skirt, lots of nipple tweaking, girls in bunny suits, Emvee taking off his man-skirt to turn it into a man-mini-skirt, everybody treating me as if I have my own rap album, lots of alcohol (of course), Thai food, prawns mistaken for pork, Straws that looked like small penis' and Angelo being traumatised by the pressence of girl's in bunny-suits. And that was before I wimped out and left the others to carry on.

Of course I left the day with pictures that show besty sucking cock, best placing a cock on his forehead and then giving cook to a bunny girl.....long story (not really).

Sounds like it was smashin'.

I take it that this was the awesome event known as TransFest?

Did you ever have time, in-between all the p*ssin', for some comics?

And did Anglo have his way and get you all to an arcade? Arcades are awesome. I know that, and I've never been in one!

I've only played a few arcades in diners and such...

Me too. And it's not like I'm that far away from London either. Just not a pubby social animal. Well, until after a few drinks (think Autobloke X10 rude

). Need to start the drinking before I leave the house, to get the 'engine' started.
And I hate travelling.

Glad you all had (slightly deviant) fun though.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sun Jul 24, 2005 9:23 pm

It were mint! Surely, the stuff of legends!

SPIDER- *extends palm* -MAN!

But seriously, I arrived first, followed not-so closely by Besty. And this single conversation set the tone for the entire TransFest:

Besty: Nice to finally meet you. How's your PhD going?
Rebis: What PhD? I'm doing a BSc.
Besty: Ok, got that wrong. But it is in Physics, right?
Rebis: Nope, Computing.

Then, again, I can't really say much, as I spent a good couple of hours wondering who Anglo was, before someone told me.

Anyway, Impy turns up, and the real fun begins and kept on beginning until Brend arrived. Seeing as I could only go from the memory of the unauthorised image posted in a TransFans: The Book, I think I did quite well to spot him on sight, despite Besty's observation that I was the only one sat facing him.

Impy fingered Mr & Mrs Vendetta (oo-er!), before shooting off to hob-nob with his famous movie star. Wahey!

EmVee brought the comic the TransFest was made for - and we perused our handiwork with obvious self-pride.

Mr & Mrs Crafty-Snarlos turned up, and we were promptly told off for rearranging the pub furniture. How outrageous!

It's somewhere around this time that Anglo turns up, but I'm not quite sure as I didn't know who he was at the time. He got his revenge tho, as I became the third Rob. Well, Bob, really.

Mr & Mrs EmVee went off in search of a bar that reputedly has robot barstaff! But it turned out the place was closed, and probably shut down.

So, with Impy in tow, we went to another bar, after going past a statue of Impy! EmVee returned and Jetfire turned up - without his posse.

Anglo fished out his Energon Inferno, and while he was *ahem* temporarily indisposed, we all came up with a form of competition for one of us to win it - which Anglo opposed without even knowing what it was, exactly.

The Crafty-Snarloses shot off, and we went 'round to Mrs V's pub, which is where the bunny girls bit happened, but not quite yet! Before that, being rater peckish, we went for Thai from the conveniently placed Thai shop across the road, although Brend did fail to notice that his Pork Pad Mee (Padme!) was actually my Prawn Pad Mee (Padme!).

Or, it might have been a cunning plan orchestrated by Shockwave!

Impy decided to use his Krypton Factor-like powers to get clear across the centre and onto the last train home. I, somewhat cruelly (although I was put up to it!), sent him a nice MMS to inform him of the bunny girls he was missing out on.

Competition time! And this time, I was the one who wasn't aware of what the competition was, which came as rather a surprise when I was declared the winner - for being dependent on the strongest corrective lenses of the group.

Jetfire went home, and we went on to Underworld - where we had a little too less to drink, and a little too much music to dance to. Stayed there until chucking out time (I assume it was that, as the music had stopped, but we left during the successful outcome of our mass Encore.

Waiting for Besty's cab, EmVee related to us his intense hatred of dogs, and then the rest of us (Mr & Mrs V, Anglo, Brend and me) went back to Chez Vendetta, where we discussed various things until it was daylight. Then we turned in.

A couple of hours later, Anglo departed, followed sluggishly by Brend, who failed to arouse a rather comatose EmVee.

So, while I was waiting for EmVee to revive, I spent the next few hours failing miserably to watch his videos, as I didn't realise I had to manually connect the desired appliance to the tv.

Once EmVee had revived, we watched his spliced DVD of Episode III, which was incredibly funny to watch in places, due to the slight lack of sync between audio and video, e.g. Obi-Wan is telling Padme about the slaying of the younglings, but due to the out-of-sync, his hand covers his mouth when he says 'younglings', as if it's something bad to say.

Then, when EmVee decided it had stopped raining long enough for him to go shopping, I went tubing back to the train to get home.

Only later, did I discover that while I'd been away, there'd been a security alert at my local station, and in a parallel universe, I may have ended up stranded at Paddington (or, more likely Swindon).

Anything I've missed out? Aside from times, which became irrelevant once alcohol entered the equation, anyway.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sun Jul 24, 2005 9:59 pm

Aww, don't feel bad, Dave.

There'll always be another TransFest!

I'm proof of that, having missed out on the one last year - even if it was an Auto-Assembly, or other similarly non-TransFans organised event.

ok this is me just comming in...

I had a wicked time! - this will be a short message as I got very drunk on the way home, and was up till 7am on the chop with friends.

Otherwise I had a wicked time and im going to write a report tommrow.

but ill say this, me and BF never get on, but we actually got along rather well on saturday.

which leads to...

Why is Impy not a mod!

oh yes I am sexy and a giant.

I wish I had been there too!

Though I'd probably have been a little quiet around you all at first. Throw some coffee/booze/a funny hat my way and I warm right up though. As I'm... pretty sure is the case for everyone.

Except the funny hat bit. According to people, that's just me.

I don't get the 'posse' reference... the fact that there were bunny girls at all is brilliant!

I am wiped still. I slept from 3pm till 8 this morning, because I am a hardcore ************** gangster, yo.

Rebis wrote:Brend, who failed to arouse a rather comatose EmVee

I will clarify that by "arouse" he means "wake up."

At least I hope that's what he means.

Random things learnt:
- The Impster is taller even than I.
- The Crafty One and Pops will be married in the spring.
- Games of Sticky Biscuit are not designed to win Energon Infernos.
- Flywheels will be allowed to host the next Transfest Comic letters page.
- Emvee has to finish all his vegetables. At least this is the assumption I make after his woman tried to guilt-trip me for not finishing mine.
- Besters has well dodgy taste in music for saying all but three of the tracks played at Underworld were crap.
- Emvee has well dodgy taste in music for liking The Streets.
- I have well dodgy taste in music for not liking The Streets.
- Poppa S has well dodgy taste in little boys.
- Emvee may or may not be Batman, it depends how orange his face is.

And, most importantly...
- You. Don't. Got. Game. Son.

Mrs. V. asked me who was that gay couple that came and joined us for lunch

Deafness gets worse when you've been dancing all night in the Underworld

I do eat all my greens

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 10:16 pm

Hats, you say? Hmm...

Well, there was that hat I pulled out of my bag and we all wore it at some point in Underworld, but it's a pretty standard hat, as someone pointed out when they proclaimed it to be identical to one of EmVee's.

From now on, that hat will have as much TransFans/TransFest attendance as I will. But I think I'll give it a wash, first.

Then, I hope it wasn't our unintentional shouting that woke up Underpants-guy, back at your place.

And speaking of Underworld, can anyone remember what the track was, where practically everyone just stopped moving and, from what I could gather in the strobing gloom, were wearing a unanimous look of "how the [composite word including 'f*ck'] do you dance to this?"

Loved the way Brend & EmVee tried to give Anglo hints on transforming Alternator Ravage by saying it was just like transforming Alternator Tracks (which Anglo also had no experience at transforming).

Everybody (barring me) pretty much said that when Under the Bridge came on. I just kept on going.

Which is possibly why I have no feeling beneath my knees anymore.

Hmm, could be, but I was thinking more along the lines of the time prior to our ascension into morespace.

You get points for doing the Brendocon dance, while we were all imitating the Chilis, though.

Repeatedly becoming possessed by some demon raver is my excuse.

Well I had a wicked day all round, but the clubbing with you guys was the definite highlight for me. Mad fun dancing, all up on the stage, me and emvee topless (now there's a traumatic event for you) and me getting way ahead in the queue due to my befriending technique

Oh, and let's not forget the snakebite and black!

Oh and non-orange Batman, and getting some original art from the comic.

No arcades this time, but we're planning on more days like these (unless that was just besty 3am-drunk-talkin) so maybe I'll get my way one of these days.

Oh, and if anyone's up for it, I'm going to the clapham grand this saturday.

well, no one can say I never come on here now
