OddTour 4
 
...Two weekends ago (I think) I took a trip to London and spent a day with a bunch of geeky friends who I'd never met before. That's right; I fell to the lure of the OddTour.

After a few unfortunate cancellations (Lorne let us down again) the number of Oddworld Forums members meeting on that fateful weekend was whittled down to four; Myself, Max the Mug, Hobo and Dripik.

Here Are Some Photographs Taken During The Day.

Here is the only picture of all four of us, which is the only reason I uploaded such a debacle of a photograph.

And finally, here is a picture of me and Max having dinner in Pizza Express.

Now it's Max's turn to upload some photos and tell you all about the wonderful stuff we did.

Lick-ass.

Yes, please do. It will hide whatever weird thing my eye is doing.

More pictures and stories coming soon!

Josh 09-13-2010 10:09 AM

CONSEQUENCES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!

...I mean now that I've seen the similarities and... y'know...

Wrong meme.

You dun goofed, boy.

Of course I know it's the wrong meme, I just thought it was cool. ...I guess I'm not cool. *takes shades off* :(

That's ok. You can now join the club with us un-cool nerds :) We have plenty of bins for throwing away sun-glasses.

Alf Shall Rise 09-13-2010 11:25 AM

Cool, can't wait to see the other stories/pics!

Bullet Magnet 09-13-2010 11:35 AM

Aw, I wish I could have come. But an old job application suddenly bit, and I was being interviewed and then very suddenly hired.

Woo job! by the way.

Hobo 09-13-2010 11:44 AM

Hey! It's me!

How cute.

Did you end up walking around London for three hours looking for a vegan establishment as well? :p

Alcar...

Crashpunk 09-14-2010 12:54 AM

I want a massive OddTour with the Mods and tons of members. Including Oddworld Inhabitants of course.

Wil 09-14-2010 01:35 AM

If it got big enough I'd want to call it an OddCon.

Wasn't that the second half of MO?

STM 09-14-2010 07:44 AM

I wanted to be old enough to ENTER, seeing as it was in London, perhaps there should be an under 18 odd tour at some point...hmmmm. Anyway, bahhha at the pics.

And 50% of those present can be mystified parents.

Actually we spent an hour in a cyber-cafe looking for a vegan establishment.

The weekend played out like this:
Dripik arrived in London on Friday morning. I got in on Friday afternoon and we met and got to know each other. Then I went off to the house of my sister where I was staying. Dripik went and met the other two as they arrived in London that evening and I guess they went and did stuff.

On Saturday morning we got together and went to the Imperial War Museum. Then we went in search of a vegan eating establishment that Wil knew of and found it closed, so we bought some questionably vegan sandwiches from the Tesco across the road. We went and found a quite park bench off of the beaten track to dine.
Then we headed to the National Gallery and looked at National Pictures for a National Hour or two before National Hobo had to leave, so we left the National Gallery, said our goodbyes and waved him off. Wil, Dripik and I then headed to a cybercafe and Wil spent an hour looking for vegan establishments in London. When our time ran out we'd failed to reach a satisfactory conclusion (I must admit I wasn't that helpful in that particular process) so we decided to go to Pizza Express since it did vegan pizza. But first we went to Convent Garden and watched a guy juggle swords on a tightrope on one leg.
Then we went to Pizza Express, ate Pizza and went off to St James's Park and watched some swans have a battle. Then we went to a small London drinking establishment, drank some drinks, and finally I left to go back to my sister's. Wil and Dripik did some stuff on Sunday which I'm sure they will tell you all about.

I'm currently working on an extended narrative of the event from my perspective. I also have some pictures, which will probably end up as a montage, seeing that only one of them feature people from the group, in an off-focus kind of way.

Even if not for three hours, this ended up being a daily ritual until Sunday. But I suppose it'd be Wil who could provide us with a more accurate account on this part of our adventures.

STM 09-16-2010 08:16 AM

MM - I could probably make it to an oddtour without me parents but then, the elderly are unpredictable!

T-nex 09-16-2010 11:16 AM

No one is preventing you from planning a junior oddtour yourself, you know.

Wings of Fire 09-16-2010 11:19 AM

Except all the mods and admins who don't need the bad press.

Dynamithix 09-16-2010 01:38 PM

Junior OddTour would be gay. I'm a junior. Not a gay one tho'. Maybe that would make it semi-interesting...

I need some sleep, bye.

No, I think you've got that mixed up.

Wil 09-16-2010 03:16 PM

Stop trying to convince the kids they're straight.

Pilot 09-16-2010 04:03 PM

Aww.... my babies! <3

*sniffle*

Phantasos 09-16-2010 06:16 PM

I once went to the Imperial War Museum and peered down tank shafts, then Covent Garden and ate massive chocolate waffles..

..Thought I'd throw that out there.

In hindsight, that sounds kinda gay. I could backspace. But, you know what, I won't. :)
