G&D's, Cowley Road

[devi]

I love you. I love your tasty bagels and your free wifi. I love you so much I'll even forgive you for playing Evanescence.

There's an Oxfringe press wingding tonight. We have comedians, poets, a brass band (?) called the Horns of Plenty, and much else besides, including a guy doing fire poi. We will all be wearing branded hoodies and making speeches. (meep.) I'd love to invite all comers along for free booze, but we are very poor. So poor that we'll be surreptitiously dividing the glasses of fruit juice we've ordered from the bar into smaller glasses before people arrive.

I am wishing I owned a hip flask.

Whenever I open a fringe-related mail Gmail shows me ads for K-Y jelly. I'm taking this as a good omen. Like Jeff Noon said, possibly misremembered: "Some days it feels as if the whole world is smeared with Vaz."

A hip-flask is one of the few things that I don't own that I feel I should. The thing is, that I don't feel it's something I should buy for myself, partially because I'd like one with something engraved and it seems very strange and bad to get something engraved by oneself for oneself.

I may need to drop less subtle hints to some people for my next birthday. :)

If we weren't in different countries I'd suggest a hip flask exchange pact.

G&D's! What I used to love most was the free ice cream if you'd given blood.

Because there's obviously *no* way of getting such things from one country to the other. :)

Hmm, I'm just trying to think when I'll next be in London, but I have a horrible suspicion it may be a few months at least. Things to think on. :)

I didn't know about that. One more reason to get off my arse and actually give some blood.

I don't know if the offer is still open, mind, but do give blood anyway!

My own flask is deeply uncool, sadly.
