One of the things...
I forgot to mention about whitby was our new game/pretension/piss take.

I call it 'Random performance poetry' and I do it when we end up with too many flyers on the table.

Rip the flyers up into their component words, or break up long words to make new ones and then make the longest coherent sentences you can.

Mine started with a mixture of the flyers from club lash and some pinstripe fashion house.
'Fear all girls with 10 asses' followed by 'All pigs dance in fashion space'
There was lots more but I can't remember, and because we decided it was a temporary 'art instillation' I took a photo of it.
It really does sort out the 'sensa yuma' goths from the wankers. With a straight face a assured one girl who asked me what I was doing that it was how David Bowie wrote all his songs and I was going to try and get a grant for it.

It'll be big and fashionable by the end of the year I assure you. ;)

Sounds like fantastic fun :)
I'll try to bring you back flyers from WGT and then you could do a multi-lingual version!!!!

That would be cool. I know we decided that the second line would work better if I were small, cross and Japanese.

That is indeed how Bowie wrote a bunch of his best songs. Other exponents of the so-called "cut-up" method have included William Burroughs, Robert Anton Wilson and game designer Robin D Laws.

Wow, now I sound even nerdier than usual! :P

Oh, is it OK if I use 'All pigs dance in fashion space' in my RPG writing sometime soon? That's too good to leave be!
