Plans for the Solo meet-up before Hyde Park (Wireless) on Friday...

[almareallymatters]

As great as Morrissey was and despite having so much fun at Quarry afterwards the absolute highlight of an amazing day for me was meeting all you fellow Soloers at the pub - i met:

Madame Chaos
Andy and Jan - whose user name i forget
Virgil Tracy
Liebe
Morrissey the 23rd
Graham (lead singer of the Smyths and known as SmythsSinger on here)
Kewpie (thats not her in the photo above)
Grim
Jukebox Jury
I am Ghost
Prisoner 77
Kitty 3780
Bobalmighty
and many more - apologies if i forget

A really great turnout and i cant thank you enough for making the effort to join up. There were other Morrissey fans there too who came for no other reason than the pub was convenient for the park - so we really did Unite and Take it over.

Thats me in the black sunglasses and black T shirt smiling above - i'll let everyone else explain who they are.

Some of us also got ourselves interviewed for that documentary on fandom which was fun.

As Virgil says i really hope to meet many of you again at future Morrissey events.

I didn't even make the list!

Thanks for getting the day off to a great start Paul!

Love Alma xxx

ah jeez - i have a brain like a moudly old cheese - it was lovely to meet u too Alma - going to edit my post!

 

[Paulc]

It was nice to see so many old faces and to meet yet more, includingly yourself again. Hope your back is better. It is a pity these events pass so quickly and drunkenly.

It was also nice to put a face and voice to 'the' Paulc. Good choice of pub.

Great to meet you too mate - what the heck did you do to your hand?

 

[prisoner77]

I too really enjoyed the meet up I think I was first in. So thanks to Grim and Morrissey the 23rd for coming over with acute detection skills.

Great to meet you all, Paul C I owe you a Smirnoff Ice.

Quarry was brilliant although by then I could only sing, no dancing.

Virgil took me for breakfast at the Turk's Head, the pub used in "WHIWOFBS" video.

It was just around the corner (If you consider an half hour walk...) Cheers.

My back is still quite painful but I have problems with it (and my legs) a lot anyway. I wish I could get it sorted out as the reason I left Quarry early in January was because of my stupid legs!

 

[Brel]

I called in as well, with my wife. I didn't really know anyone, but I heard a few board names branded about. Not being known for my sociabilty, I kept off radar!

 

[Drew a swallow]

I think thats me in the third pic down in the background under the hanging flowers. I'm not sure though. I know thats roundabout where I was outside the pub. Its disconcerting not being able to identify yourself in a photo. Its even more disconcerting if it IS actually me because my face looks as though its caved in.

[Unlikely One]

Nice to meet all the folks I did. Thanks PaulC and pals keeping me company in Hyde Park. And to Madame C and pals for looking after me at Quarry night...lord knows I needed it.

All in all lovely.

 

[Brel]

At the bar, with my head on the bar! If you did speak to "Brel", it was an imposter!

I'm not good with "strangers", so don't worry. I didn't even know who anyone was, and I'm not the kind of person to present myself to the room. "Ladies and Gentleman...Stephens arrived"!

Everyone in there seemed to be having a good time though.

 

[Gwendolen]

As a lurker, I kept myself to myself for a wee while, but the atmosphere kind of got the better of me. I met so many great people in the carpenter's and in the Quarry. I wish I had spoken to more but there's always next time! Thanks to those who took the time to organise things.

Wow I feel popular. And I could really have done with a confidence boost today.

You know how there is a risk of bodily harm if you try to reach Morrissey? Well, I tried to reach Morrissey.

My back is still quite painful but I have problems with it (and my legs) a lot anyway. I wish I could get it sorted out as the reason I left Quarry early in January was because of my stupid legs!

What are you doing to yourself that causes your back and legs to hurt so much?

was nice to see that old solow reprobate formerly known as 'FreeYourSelf' & better half, shame DavidT couldn't make it!

Grim

It was good to see Kewpie didn't move you to The Mason's arms.

DavidT saw me in the park but didn't say 'hello!'.

I noticed a lot of the posters who are brave from the bedrooms in their underpants kept quiet at the event.
