Am I in the running for hardest partier? I partied so hard I didn't even show up...

Weak excuse time: I was still finishing off the moving-in thing for the new home, and wanted to get it all done before the weekend was over. Poor effort? Yes, but now my home feels like a home and my clothes aren't still in cardboard boxes.

No wonder I couldn't find anyone. I turned up at 3:15 and wandered around like a git for 15 mins, staring at people, hovering around tables like a lost sheep and asking if they were the Flickr group. Not sure if management will let me back in after harrassing patrons and all ;p

Sounds like you guys had a good time. Maybe next time someone should bring a sign or a mascot (S2art doesn't count!)

@simulacra,
I was thinking of asking people if they were with the Flickr group too - you're braver than me!

Eventually, I plonked myself in a conspicuous spot by the bar and mucked about with my camera - hoping some kind soul from the group would spot and adopt me. Amazingly, this worked!
