Wow... where do I begin? x)
Well first, I'd like to thank all the staff for creating such an amazing convention experience. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming that I honestly didn't want to leave. Thanks especially to Cheetah and Nightfox for chairing such an awesome convention, Codewolf and many others for security... and well, everyone!
I got to spend a few days in Berlin with
alectorfencer and
kebi whom I cannot thank enough for putting up with me and giving me a place to stay. Berlin is quite a beautiful and colourful city and I really want to visit there again.
Some of the key highlights for me were:
- The Bitter Lake movie premiere. It was actually one of the most nervewracking experiences for me, even more than some of the concerts I've done... so much was expected, and I'm so glad people enjoyed it... and I'll never forget the tears in Shays eyes when everyone stood up and clapped. It was, and is, a real pleasure to be a part of the team.
- Meeting some people that I've wanted to meet for a long time; people like
nimrais and
kaji, the Bitter Lake crew,
osfer
balorkin,
yuuki-cat &
katerchen and so many more.
- Seeing a thunderstorm that puts Scotland's thunderstorms to shame. (I have this weird fascination with thunderstorms x3).
- Getting to play the Piano in the Piano Bar, where everyone started to crowd around, including the Guest of Honour and his wife. Singing and playing various songs. That was so much FUN!
- Selling out completely of albums, including the Bitter Lake Soundtrack. I really cannot thank you guys enough for such amazing support.
So many other things as well but I'll end up rambling. I'll just finish up by saying thank you once again for an amazing experience. I'll be there next year, and if you've never been to EF before... make the effort, I promise you it'll be worth it... every second of it.

It seems like you had a really great time. In a year or two, I'm going to be heading off to my first cons, Camp Feral!, and Anthrocon... I'm so exited!

Any chance on the Bitter Lake soundtrack available for sale if it's screened in the USA, or perhaps online?
I asked you so many times that I knew the half stuff xD Now I'm looking forward for the next meet and that those exoperiences will stay a long time in your heart. *hugs*
Don't forget the fly x3
Thanks again for playing in the Pianobar on Saturday, that was one, if not the best night I have had in a very long time! Booze was drunk, fun was had, great new friends were made, old ones rekindled.
May you be around us all, for a very long time indeed!
