And another clan meet comes to a close. Well, it did a few days ago as I have been lazy and not written a post since.
These clan meets always seem to be over too quickly. As you are packing up to head home, you are left thinking to yourself that it felt like you’d just arrived. But still, they are fun events to attend, even if they do seem short.
There were many events during the meet that made it enjoyable.
Tattoo Shots are an official requirement at any clan meet for it to be deemed an clan meet. After much drinking previous in the day, the Tattoo bottle is opened and shots are poured. This resulted in some laughing and the introduction of fingerstaches and fingerbrows.
NJ shows off his custom curly mustache to the camera. He would look more sinister if he had a top hat on and laughed with a evil snicker. His mustache is almost calling out for tying a damsel to a train track so that Dudley Dooright can come and save her.
For a video game clan, there was much analog gaming taking place. From chess to off-the-wall card games and board games. There was something sure to entertain everyone and pass the time.
Rockband, though, was the most popular activity during the meet. Many people would jump on an instrument and play through a good number of songs. The volume was loud and the room felt like a rock venue. There were even groupies at various times cheering for the band during a set. During the meet, we all discovered that there was truly some talent in our midst as Spiderbite, aka the golden throat, belted out tune after tune. Duster gave everyone some heartfelt renditions of songs showcasing his vocal powers.
It was a great weekend spent with friends that I had met previously at other meets and new faces that had not been able to attend a meet before. I really do think that we have a great group of people and getting to hang out with them occasionally is the best part of our group. It would be nice if we all live within a few hours of each other to accommodate more regular get-togethers. But, still, I would not trade this group for anything. I have truly made some great friendships that I know will last.
