People posting about people not posting
Lets face it this thread has bought more people back to the forum then I have seen in a long time
Long may the totally irrelevant posts prosper
This almost made me smile
Oookkaaayyy! Bringing it back to actual Metropolis review - sorry for taking so long, was having a war of words with Norfolk crowd about Slush...
Good
Floors - purrrfect!
Dances - some really really lovely ones. In particular my thanks go to Tom, Ian, David and Sean, for letting me strut my stuff! LOL.
Food - fabulous.
Flavia - what a teacher! The fact that they stayed on for freestyle - wow! - and she danced with everybody who asked her, fantastic! Their cabaret - beautiful.
News of the engagement - congrats guys!
Hotel - started OK, but... see below
Bad
Music in blues room on Friday night really put me down. Was going to come back later, but fell asleep - only danced about 40 mins.
Hotel - Friday onwards room was freezing cold, no amount of dial fiddling made any difference.
Ugly
Hotel - on Sunday night it had started to rain - inside our bathroom. It was dirty yellow water - eurgh... Then they tried to charge me for a bottle of wine instead of a glass - a minor miss, but left a nasty aftertaste...
Vincent in his careful choosing of partners - I think there were about 5 or 6 of us on a plump side - I don't think he danced with any of us...
Drive there and back - soooo long...
Felt like a slush (swish) with better everything - which is brilliant on it's own, however... not a weekend for me. If I were to drive all that way, sorry, it is for Southport. With JA, Skeggi is still my preferred option.
I was a bit like that on the Satuday, it take a bit for me to find my mojo on any weekend, the first night is allway the worst, I normally just bounce about till I get into it, loved Sunday, but the music in the Blues room on Saturday was to Down beat for me.
Found my Mojo when Pete came on Sunday evening, loved his set, it was a good job cos I grabbed Vincent, not sure he was doing any picking, well he didn't pick me when I shimmed up to him his face was a pickture it said 'OMG'
For those of you who would like to see what the rooms are like at Metropolis, this is the one me and Gav were staying in.
I've been trying to up-load these photo's for weeks. Got there in the end.
