Recently WOTAN and I spent a happy carefree afternoon messin' with lots of vintage toys! Biulding on the one hour we managed last Summer in a cafe, our Toy-in was 4 hours of Swordtastic fun at WOTAN's lovely home, reminiscent of a Christmas morning back in '67! Yep, it's official, we're just big kids! The pork pies were delicious too (and yes, we ate all the pies!). As befits such a meeting of friends, christened 'Geekstock', gifts were also exchanged and here's a picture of Pig my Guinea Pig eyeing up the latest in rodent space transport courtesy of Wotan. Pig's only concern was were he puts his veg!
heres to the Moonbase Central convention! Any takers ?
ReplyDeleteThere is a line in Star Trek (the original, you might say) which, off the top of my head, goes something like this:
ReplyDeleteThe more complex the mind, the more need there is for it to play.
My view is that people who have forgotten how to play have also forgotten how to live, and I cannot understand those who cannot be passionate about something, anything, outside of themselves.
In other words: you guys are so cool.
Just one question though: why wasn't I there?!? Me want toys too! :)
Ha,ha - we're working on a more central get together for the whole team! We'll bring the toy to you next time!
ReplyDeleteReally? A get together? What a wonderful idea.
