Fresher's Fair
Oct. 5th, 2006 04:24 pmAnd after all, I did manage to pop into the Fresher's Fair taking a longish lunchtime.
I'm sure there are more and more commercial stalls -- the whole back row or two were for things like pizza delivery and banks. Couldn't they at least form a pseudo-society? :) I presume it provides sponsorship, I certainly hope so.
There's still a decent percentage of stalls being run by people I know, good, good.
Tiddlywinks was being manned by someone under 40 -- indeed, looking under twelve. Apparently they hoping for undergraduate biogenesis.
Lures are doing fairly well, though I don't want to load up on freebies any more. At the back of the room there is Pizza, and various bookshop goodiebags (tokens, I believe). Everyone has a few sweets. Tiddlywinkers had tiddlywinks to play with. The conservatives had their union jack bikini, and lupie looked great in a terrible shocking purple corset/petticoat affair :)
This time last year, I think Clare took me (and Naath) to Geek Pizza, for the first time. This year has been fun, but I'm slipping behind the curve for my world domination plans, I definitely need to ramp it up a bit more.
