Hello,
It's 11 am, just crawled out of my bed...slight hangover...Rhino dung taste in my mouth...unshaved...
Ah...the Bear just woke up as well...morning Blade!
Ok...we had a really nice meeting last night...
AggonyNaak, AggonyValkyria, Katsuchiyo, Magyarkhan, The Khan's principal wife (Karin), Darealruler, DRB, Kocmoc, FearOfFuCy, MajesticSoul, 7Bear7Blade, AggonyKasuga, Lady Kas (Michelle), Allan (will be Wellington), Jaap (my server guy) and his GF Vivien.
I picked Val and Naak up from Amsterdam Airport on friday and had a nice clan-dinner on fridaynight.
Saturday afternoon I picked up Katsuchiyo from the railway station and went to the meetingplace.
Ohh..err...hold on...The Bear needs food....brb.
Ok...fed the Bear and chased him out of the Hague...where was I?
Ahh...meeting...ok
At 18:00 the first showed up...complete at 19:00. (It took Blade 2 hours to find the restaurant ). Was amazing to meet a guy called Allan...he came in: "Hello, I'm Allan, you guys don't know me...I never played online...but I will"
Was great to meet the Wolves again. Koc, Mag and Dareal I met in Cologne before...really nice to meet DRB and Mag's principal wife Karin.
Also a joy to meet Fucy again and of course the presence of 4 Aggonies and Lady Kas (Michelle)
The 7bear7 clan send their emmisary 7Bear7Blade, the Majestics send Soul (totalwar.org moderator also)
My good friends Jaap (computer/internet wizard) and Vivien joined in also.
We had a spicy Thai dinner (not for the faint hearted!) and talked about Shogun, Medieval Total War, Clans, tactics, the community and our personal life.
At about 23;00 Michelle drove Dareal, DRB and Kats to the station.
The rest of us moved across the street to a bar called "Que Pasa?" and we went on until closing time at 02:00
Michelle and Karin...gave us that motherly "ain't they sweet?" look
I got a pewter hip flask engraved with: "KAS, TOTAL WAR MEETING, THE HAGUE 2002" from Val and Naak. WOW!!!!
After closing time Mag, Kocmoc and Karin saddled their horses and left for the Mongolian steppes.
The rest of us went to Aggony Castle for a night cap (err...a few of them)
At about 03:00 we all started to fall apart a bit, so I called a few taxis.
Blade stayed at Aggony Castle for the night.
Was a really nice meeting again...a shame some didn't show up, but that's life.
We had great fun....see you all on the battlefield and who knows...till the next meeting
