Le Mittens 08 - It kind of looks like a...

[Miez]

In anticipation of the "post-op Mittens thread" that is bound to appear, I would like to share the few pictures that I took during my Mittens defloration. 

I had more pictures, but I managed to corrupt my memory card - so these are of the last three days only. Anyway:

Clicky clicky

GodDAMN I had a blast... Thanks guys and gals!

You obviously got home first dude, so I have split this topic & given you the post-Mittens thread creating honours   --Mods

I had a blast  well, even without blowing up thhe chateau was fun. I hope you had a safe journey? Ours was rather uneventful, although we got in the early part of the daily traffic jam on the A10 motorway. I will look forthe converter for my camera's memorystick, so I can upload the photos + videos (which will even contain some sneak previews of the BJ movie! )

I AM looking forward to a long night's sleep in a decent-sized bed with decent-sized sheetsand a mattras-cover which doesn't creep out from under you, leaving the cold mattres material  to grace your skin.

Oh well, I got home at approx 1600 hours, so there aren't too many Americans or Canadians who could say the same thing (I doubt even the Britons could) I suggest the following name for next Mittens: Miamittens (I know, a disgracefully lame pun. but forgive me, I've been waiting for so long to mention it and it's late now, almost bed time (uncannily early given prior Mittens experience, but it's boring here by comparison to the chateau. On the upside, my book (well, Oliver Sacks's) arived while I was away,  so that should give me some interesting reading time, as well as the one I still had lying around and had started but have yet to finish, but I now have a new toy! Oh darn, the agony of choice!
It is a shame that I didn't get to say goodbye to the Mittensians from the USA and Canada etc, I only got to wave at you! I'll now try to coompensate for that by typing very loudly: GOODBYE! IT WAS NICE BEING WITH YOU! HAVE A GOOD TRIP HOME/TO PARIS!

Oh well, a quick conclusion: Fromage (CJ), how much do I owe you in total (and  how do I pay? Paypal-id pleazy) including the dangerous boat trip (no, I won't be asking for a boredom discount for that, I was in fact awake for the whole boattrip so it can't have been that bad)

(Ed: corrected a few typos - blasted laptop keyboard!)
BJ movie spoilers have been removed :p  --Mods

I have returned. My highlight of the trip was visiting Laleham on the way back! Maybe. A better post with only a few photos tommorow (since most of my photos are of the bj movie)

[Domino]

Glad everybody had a good time at Mittens. I always look forward to seeing the pictures that everyone took.

[AGA]

I just got home, 14 hours after leaving. Photos will come eventually. I had fun!

[Esseb]

I too have returned.

Je suis fromage!

[Darth Mandarb]

I'm in a hotel room in Paris ... will be in London tomorrow morning/afternoon, New York tomorrow night, back home Sunday afternoon.

I had a great time!  It was excellent to finally meet some of my fellow AGSers!

Tons of good memories which I'll be happy to share when I've collected my thoughts!

[Layabout]

Je suis Fromage frais!!!!

I am back, and photos will follow at some time. By the time I reached the ferry I was sooo tired. When I made it home I was almost asleep.

It was most awesome, particuarly being one of the central characters in the aforementioned film.

I want to say thanks to so many people. The oven (AGA) for hosting, Grundislav for sharing a room and a bed with me (zut alors!!!!), Ivy for giving me a voice acting part in her sekret gayme, eric and jess for all the penii, millsjross in the ass, Ken aka disco for giving me a second chance after me being a total **** to him in spain, chris for being abraham, the rover crew, Mark Lovegrove for filming said rover over the hill (you will see), Jeremy for the chats, Nacho for the trampoline incident, Lorena for putting up with it, Fruittree for the live guitar, Miez, for being a massive inspiration to all 'background art that puts Curse of MI to shame!!!), the Deep Fat Fryer, all the cats, Tony the donkeypony, and of coarse, the tiny old dog.

I shall be the first to mention here that many of us did not want to leave and wish it could have been for another week.

IMO, it was a creative exciting event to witness and take part in.

To all mentioned, I love you all. xxx and manhug

[jetxl]

Good times.

Yes, I'm feeling the Mittens envy too! Bah, oh well, there's always next year.

[Layabout]

Have a postcard!

Le photos.
Le videos.

I got back last night and found I'd gotten the virus that many people had to endure during the Mittens. I feel better already though.

Great to see all the old faces again and finally getting to meet the americans, canadians and the dutch people I hadn't met before.
I only regret not getting to say farewell to Marco, Fransisco, Blazej & Dominika.

I'm going to miss you guys!

[Quintaros]

I too had a great time.  So much so that I ve decided to extend my stay in France.  Actually, no I ve missed my return flight to Canada and am trapped in Paris another 3 days.  Merde alors.

Wow - good luck with that!

[Pumaman]

Nice pics, guys!

I am also back, and as always Mittens was a great laugh! Thanks to AGA for organising it, AGA and Jet for doing the quiz, Jess and Marijke for their group cooking, m0ds for filming, everyone for acting, Quintaros for cleaning, scotch for directions, whoever bought the first night pizza, and to 118 118 for their Indian call centre that was incapable of telling the difference between a pub and a takeaway. And of course thanks to all of you for coming, hope to see you all again in Miami 2009!

My photos are here. At m0ds' request I've removed the ones that spoil the film, but once the movie has been posted I will upload the missing pics.

6 mittens = Mittoholic
5 mittens = Mittens Addict
4 mittens = Mittens Liege
3 mittens = Mittens Regular
2 mittens = Mittens Faithful
1 mittens = Mittens Initiate

if I've made a mistake with anyone's title, please let me know.
