Message-ID: <MPG.175aceb8ce3bb0298978c@news.cis.dfn.de> From: Arwen Lune <arwen@meanandevil.co.uk> Newsgroups: alt.fan.pratchett Subject: [F] Report: KATmeet in Leiden Date: Sun, 26 May 2002 11:52:18 +0200 It was a full moon in the fourth week of May, so I made my way to the Secret Meeting Location. My Secret Sign was pinned to the strap of my backpack, so that fellow conspirers would be able to recognise me while to the rest of the world I was simply wearing a small hedgehogpin. When I entered the venue chosen for the meetings, I immediately noticed my Brothers and Sisters conspirers. I chided them for not being more inconspicuous, and soon afterward the Supreme Grand Master moved our little group to a secluded space in the back of the venue. There the ritual began. It included weird dances around the table, cruel deeds committed toward innocent penguins, consummation of strangely coloured pills - by the handful, I might add. Strange liquids were consumed; ritual sacrifices were brought using a hot pink balloon lightsaber; songs were sung to praise the Great Beast and Hellspawn (ie, Katrina and the Waves); blood was discussed; bad puns were made. When it got to be about 10ish I departed the venue, leaving some hugs behind to last the Brethren and Sisters the rest of the night. Once I got outside I ran to the station and managed to get home around midnight. Then I spend about 15 minutes explaining to my housemate that no, honest, these AFPmeets aren't some kind of black magic ritual, promise. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + [note: this written after the observation that more often than not, Dutch meets coincide with full moon. It's not a real meetreport, so the person burdened with reporting is still going to have to do the work! ;-) ] Cheers, Arwen Lune -- "Bother" said Pooh. "They have a cave troll!"
