Well, I've just got back from Epic Meet the Third, and my feet are sore from walking, so I would say that this meeting has been a rather good success! It's a pity more people couldn't make it, but I obviously understand if other things came up or you just couldn't make it :)
A brief synopsis of the meeting - we met at Central Station, had lunch, went down to the waterfront and over the Millennium Bridge, watched some traditional dancers and their accordion accompaniments, spent some time in the Baltic, and then went to Eldon Square for some shopping. And yes, we got pictures! Most are of the dancers (taken by me), but there are a couple of the meeters, which will hopefully shortly be posted up on DeviantArt, so keep an eye out for them at http://fanbbsnewcastle.deviantart.com :P
Well, that's pretty much everything for that meeting. The next meeting should be on Sunday 30th May (same time and place, of course), and I reckon it might be a good idea to save up at least £10 so that we can go to the Life Centre and run around like little kids :D (I don't know the exact price for admission, but I reckon £10 should cover it).
If you want to know anything else about this last meeting, or have any suggestions for following meets, then leave a comment :D Any suggestions are welcome!

Epic Meet the 3rd - Attendees!
It's finally that time again! In only seven days time, the people of Newcastle will hopefully be quaking in fear (or at least larfing at our crazy antics) as we roam the city and generally go crazy!
Just to recap:
When - 25th April, 12pm
Where - Newcastle Central Station
What then? - General epic insanity.
But y'know, it's always better if we know exactly *who* will be there, and what they look like/will be wearing. So! If your plans on the 25th April include general insanity and also meeting with all of us lot, then post me a comment with your FF.net name (or FanBBS forum name), real first name (optional - you don't have to if you don't want to, it's just easier than shouting your screen name :P) and a brief description of what you'll be wearing - or what you look like if you don't plan ahead like that.
Epic meeters include:
Lorze the Brookes (Laura) - Tall(ish), long bushy hair, glasses; will be wearing denim jacket, 3/4 length trousers, checkered black and white skull bag.
RayRay (Rach) - "average height, short brown hair, will be wearing either trousers and a vest, or a vest and a flowery skirt, depending on how the weather turns out. Most likely smoking cherry cigs and pacing like a madman. Purple bag."
Dance with the Devil (Bec) - "probably be wearing jeans and a shirt, might wear my red and black skirt depending on the weather, or something completely different XD"
Sabulana (Emma) - "jeans, black top with some design on it and trainers, probably either purple or black bag."
Talismanic (Willow) - "I'm short, super frizzy mid-length stawberry blonde hair, probably tied back. I'll be wearing jeans, a t-shirt and a black jacket with lots of zips."
So comment now so I can add you to the list! (also comment if you don't understand anything in the post) And see you all at Newcastle Central Station at 12pm!

Epic meet is epic?
I'm bored of FAIL MEET taking all the focus on my blog. What we should be focusing on is the next EPIC MEET! Where RayRay will be joining us! And Bec will need some epic good times to make up for missing Dr Who! And I will be hyper regardless!
But, let's face it, epic meetings need planning. And a basic knowledge of Newcastle.
So! I want you all to tell me what is epic and what is realistic for us! I want to remember this! And I want someone with a camera and a DeviantArt account, because I started up a group for us on there! For EPIC PHOTOS and EPIC OTHER RELATED STUFFS which I have not decided on yet. (You can find it at http://fanbbsnewcastle.deviantart.com/, by the way :P)
So, remember, kiddies! Only you can stop wildfire - uh, I mean, only you can make this meeting as epic as it can be! And now I shall be off. For sleep and the such. Yes, I shouldn't be up this late. Oops :P

Fail Meet is Fail
It is official: The proposed March meeting (from now on referred to as FAIL meet) is fail. Not even epic fail. Just ordinary, bog-standard failage, which I will take full responsibility for.
Therefore, EPIC MEET the third will take place on Sunday 25th April (same time, same place), and to make up for the disproportionate amount of FAIL on my part, I ask all of you for help on making this meet worthy of the title of EPIC MEET. That's right. Epic meet. A meet that is epic. In full capitals.
Oh, and the fan-art idea still stands, I may dig out some of my old stuff to bring along as well :P
Until next we meet, fellow purveyors of epic!

Updates and Fan Art
Alright, first thing's first: after some discussion on the FanBBS Newcastle meetings link on FanBBS, we've decided that it would be better if we postponed the meeting date until the 4th of April - that's 2 weeks after we originally said, but it looks like more people can make it, so we'll see how it goes.
To reiterate:
When: Sunday 4th April, noon.
Where: Newcastle Central Station.
Sorry for any mix-ups or complications this causes, but I won't be changing the date again unless extreme circumstances arise.
In other news, Yoshino has been in touch with me about the possibility of bringing fan art and fan comics to the meetings to share around. I'm sure we've all doodled at least a few characters from our chosen fandoms at some point or other, so it would be good to show everyone a more visual representation of our stories. If you have any feedback on this new idea, just send in a comment, as always, and we'll see what people think :)

School play FAIL
Argh, this is annoying - my Drama teacher decided that, because we're doing the school play (Under Milk Wood) in the week after the 3rd meeting, we're going to have a rehearsal on the 21st. So, I either don't turn up for the rehearsal, instead choosing to spend my time getting to know you bunch of nutters/lovely people, or I turn up for the rehearsal and don't get to see RayRay for ANOTHER MONTH.
This is so annoying for me - I should go to the rehearsal (because it's kinda important for the play) but I really don't want to let you lot down. If I decide to go to the rehearsal, then I'll probably ask Bec to take charge of things, although I'll be keeping an eye on things via this blog.
ARGH, epic fail on the part of the school play :(

Meeting, the Second.
Well, the meeting today seemed to go quite well, I thought. There were only 5 of us that turned up (see the last post for details), but hopefully everyone will be able to make it to the next meeting, so we should just about make double figures :D
On the topic of the next meeting, it's going to be held a week earlier than usual so RayRay stands a chance of coming :) Therefore:
What: Epic meet 3
When: Sunday 21st March, at 12pm (noon)
Where: Outside Central Station in Newcastle.
Once again, we'll be waiting 10 - 15 minutes for latecomers to arrive, but ry to make it on time, because we won't hang around forever. And if the damn road I needed to take to get to the free parking is shut again, bear with me if I'm uber-stressed/hyper. And get me to check where my damn car key is. (I lost my car key during this meting and had to wait 90 minutes for my Dad to drive down and find me with a spare. And it was cold. VERY cold.)
Anyways, enough ranting for now :) Oh, and if anyone took any pictures, then publish them somewhere on the internet and send me a link so I can post it up :)
Ta-ta for now,
