L word convention

As Jen raved about the L word convention last year, the whole of windband descended on Brighton on a sunny March weekend to in effect stalk celebrities from L word. As neither Ali nor I are particularly keen on the celeb lifestyle, it was kind of weird to watch and see people idolise people from a TV show and ask quesitons as though it was real. My favourite has to be the question whether the side of the bed that tina exited once her and bette had an argument was intentional. There was also a common question of 'if you were a kangaroo, what would you put in your pouch'. It's a personal handbag!

Arriving late on Friday night, we were good for nothing but a drink. On saturday we celebrity stalked and listened to the talks, went for a thai dinner, complete with Thai dancing and then the 'disco'. As we left early, we missed Jemma and Jodie skinny dipping with a stag do. Only they would pull men on a lesbian convention!

Sunday lasted a very long time, might because I didn't go to bed until 4am. Who knew you could buy balloons at 2am! We decoated the breakfast table for a very hungover Jen as it was her birthday.

I walked along the sea front. As I sat on the promenade thinking that I would like heaven to be like Brighton, a dog went to the toilet directly in front of me. I'm trying to avoid thinking it has significance.

I love the diversity of Brighton and the no cares attitude. A man walked along the sea front with a sandwich board saying "I cheated on my girlfriend, so I'm doing this to show her how much I love her and want her back".

Memories of Nicky being chased by OJ down the corridor and amazingly doing a 360 to get away from her. This was after we started our night of university drinks including archers and lemonade, snake bit, Blue WKD, vodka fanta :)

Nicky and Jen just said 'lets go somewhere else, I'm bored', as members of the L word walked down the stairs and it was like a swarm of ants around a pot of jam. Unfortunately, the drinking did not stop, we then had chilli shots, vodka shots, and cider to wash it down. Jemma bought a managers special - absinthe and 80% vodka but that was the end of Jen. We stayed for another 3 hours, don't have a clue why but fear we played truth or truth :)
