What follows is FlowerGrrl's posting to the irrel mailing list, describing the Easter weekend of 1999 when we both went a little crazy...
ok, this is what my irrelivant list saw, my little tale of last weekend, but I will rewrite it to web page standard!!Subject: oh wow, was that really only four days? Irrelevant List - http://www.fly.to/andie Oh my life, it seems like a week or more ago I was at the Complex in Islington, but I know that it was only last Thursday, the beginning of my self punishment!! Thursday night, well went straight thru to friday, no sleep whatsoever in between, but I have already mentioned thurs, so lets not repeat myself, I noticed it was Friday when I realized it was time to go and pick up the others so we could meet the remainder at the Pub in Cambridge, where we got bored, and went back to this guys house for a chuff for a while, then everyone went off to a 70's club (don't ask, I don't know, I just went along anyhow) and then back for another chuff after, we managed 2 hours sleep this time however, not that it was good sleep or anything, sleeping on someones hallway floor blocking the toilet door, so you have to move every time anyone wants to go!! after those meagre two hours sleep, we got up, and well, chuffed some more, eventually we came home, where we, um, well, you guessed it, had another chuff!! After a while, we left for Birmingham, a two and a half hour drive, we were off to a friends house there for another chuff, followed by the Q club, to see Roni size etc. By now I was sooo lacking in sleep, that while driving, I was seeing extra cars, my mind just started to make up stuff!! on the way to the club, I swore that the lady on the taxi radio sounded like she was talking about mushrooms, of course she wasn't but hey! now, the back of the ticket said no entry after 1am, so we got there before 11pm, but wow, what queues were they? At one am, we had reached real near the front, and they closed the doors, and wouldn't let anyone else in, "oversold the event!" how illegal is that?? we waited around for a while, people shouted people threw things, we just didn't care, by now we were peaking, and just wanted to go and sit down and have a chuff, so that is what we did! Apparently people did start getting let in around 3am, (we left some of us behind!) myself and my fellow journeyers all were happy for them, and felt no regret at having left, we were all having a grin on by now, and just plain didn't care!! It must have been about eight or nine am when finally we went and found a bed, it wasn't hours but that didn't stop us from sleeping till 4.30 the following afternoon, when we got up for a chuff! we left about 6.30pm for Harlow, my driving slowed considerably, and about 3 hours later, we rolled in, where i flopped onto the sofa, but of course, stayed awake to chuff till the small hours of the morning, upstairs never happened, we slept on the sofa, and awoke at about 3pm, for.... another chuff!! which is what I have been doing for the rest of today until now, and I feel soo broken, but wow, what a weekend!! Anyone else got any Easter stories??
