I had a great time this year as well, it was lots of fun and interesting to meet you guys in person and I hope I'll see you again at next year's mittens.
I've put together a report of the events at Mittens 2003 here:

Sounds like it was a heap of fun.
Makes one wish money wasn't an issue. But it makes me anticipate next years Mittens even more so...wish eric would come over and fix this damn time machine he sold me.

Man, that looks like hella cool...I wish I was old enough to have gone...
Someone needs to post a video of the get together..for the people like me who can't go..
Helm has some hair! And the hair on his head looks cool too.
lovely!!!! :D
Very nice page, Chrille...I loved having all you guys here, I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I...
That was a great pseudo-journal. Good photos. Seems like you guys had a great time... I'm jealous.

Hehe, looks like you enjoyed yourselves a lot! I still regret that I wasn't able to attend...
That photo of Mods and the plastic spoon was really disturbing, though... :)
d00d that looked like fun. Wish I had my own jet.
You guys are so lucky, europe is so small, it may be expensive, although I'm sure mittens was fairly cheap due to lucky contacts like Andail, Well done, the photo's are excellent Chrille.
For me to visit my sister here in Australia is the equivalent of travelling from Miami to New York in the USA or London to Sicily in Europe, and we live on the same coast line, which is probably further than most mittiners this year. I have to be able to visit my sister before I can contemplate mittens, maybe USA 2004, or anywhere in Aus 2005, somewhere in Queensland would be nice, hint, hint DG.
Wish I could have been there although I might be in England in the next year for a while, My brother inlaw's brother runs a pub in London, might be able to work and live in the pub if I can get a working visa, I think I need to apply before I'm 28 which is about 6 months, otherwise I could just join a cricket team over there, an Aussie in England, I'd be the star of the team, see you Englishmen soon
Welcome back Miteneers!
"I don't know what AGA's hand is doing but m0ds seems to be enjoying it ;)" - Great.
Well I know what I was doing, and he definitely was enjoying it.

Nice work Chrille, good summary of the week :)
Because I'm lazy, I'm just going to present my unedited photo gallery from the week. Some of the photos are a bit blurry for which I apologise, I obviously didn't realise the full extent of the camera's exposure time.

Anyway, I had a really good time, it was great to meet you all again, and to meet the new faces this year. Bring on Mittens 2004 USA! :)
Ok, I've now updated the custom titles.
People who went to both mittens should have "Mittens Veteran"; people who just came this year have "Mittens Crew" and people who just came last year get "Mittens '02".
If I've left anyone out, please let me know and I'll update your title, after allowing you to beat me silly with a cat o'ninetails.

She was in awe for hours, honest!
I am not just trying to be polite... It has really been a lovely gathering... Hope to see you again, guys.
;)
lol, so you're back?
I didnt even know that.
m0ds:is your mittens page updated?
Damnit,
wish I was there ;)
I hope you all had a great time - and that there weren't too many Gay-moments :P
Website updated with desktop background images and a full gallery of my photos (CJ style).

Superb page, Chri110R! It saves a lot of time when different people come up and ask you to tell them "how it was". One click and voila, you may go and have some coffee instead.
I share your sentiments about having established too little contact with many mitteneers (save for Helm, but his arse is a tad to hairy for my tastes), but somehow my english really stopped working when I was facing the Brittons. The only thing I could utter was a rather unintelligent stattering.
The little Orco in me orders me to tell what I have learnt from this episode: you think cultural stereotypes are bullshit as long as you don't see british AGSers' neverending excitement and puppy-like energy.
All in all, it was great. Thanks to all for coming, thanks to Andail for organising, thanks to Farlander who never ceased to amuse us with his smart puns and constant wide smile.
Respekt!

:o
Farlander is obviously contemplating on Petter's third eye in that picture.
I have to say this was the highlight of my summer (not "...so far". I doubt anything more exciting will happen for the duration of it...). Thank you to everybody that attended. I had a very pleasant at times - thought-provoking at others- time and I only wished it would last longer. Special thank you to Andail for putting up with me for an extra day after mittens.
See most of you guys next year, and Goldmund, I am hoping we can meet up sooner than that.
P.S. :The cds are great Chrille. A thousand thanks.
P.S.2 : I'll start work on Canceroids... TOMMOROW!!!!11111
P.S.3 : All tremble at the DS dancing emoticon! Soon in EVERY POST I MAKE!
Wonderful, Chrille!
And the Mittens experience was above all my expectations. You are all wonderful people and I really enjoyed the late night arguments.

Same here - I was thinking afterwards about how I didn't really get a chance to properly talk to some of you. Still, roll on next year and all shall be fixeth!

Seconded. :)
I wish I was at Mittens, wait a minute... NO I DON'T! :'(

That is exactly what happened! :D
^-^
Looks like it was heaps of fun :)
I'm hoping for a fairly close-proximity Mittens next year so I have some chance of making it. Can't wait!
Damn! I wish I was there...
By the way... I had this dream last night. I was at the Mittens on Chrille's summer cottage and there was me, Chrille, Vel, Scotch and DarkStalkey. It was fun :P
:)
Hehe, that's an odd dream seeing as I don't even have a summer cottage.
In Butcher's absence, I think Andail should start using the catchphrase:
"I'm NOT WEARING any SHIRT!!!!"
Have you also noticed that Farlander actually has a dart in his hand in that picture? Makes it even more disturbing... Luckily i didn't arrive until after the dart contest.

Somebody must have edited the pictures in photoshop.
Most of the time I was even wearing a tuxedo, but I can't see it anywhere on those photos.
And now... my oppinion ;D:
The "I wish I could have made a bigger effort to stablish a closer relationship with XXX" is general.
Man, five days were supossed to be enough for meeting all the guys (and even for starting bad stories), but this year seem that that hasn´t been enough. We´ve been a million milles away for having bad stories between each other of the guys, the atmosphere has been perfect.
When the smaller groups were stablished, I was waiting for the typical gossip "hey, how strange is that guy" or "I hate XXX!", but that never happened.
I feel better after reading that 5 days hasn´t been enough for you also, guys. I really want to see you in 2004.
Trapeziod! I see no funeeh in making edits of the annual Chris´ onions photo, ok! >:(

Well... maybe, a little... ;D
Hehe, nice photoshop Farlander :)
