Remember Go Ape?
When we went to Go Ape at the tail end of Ruth & JTA's Stag/Hen Weekend party, we had no idea that we'd have such an impact on one little girl as we evidently did. Maybe we should dress as superheroes when we go to Go Ape next time (in March!), too...

Thirty - Part Two
Following his 30th birthday party, Dan shares a few thoughts about his recent melancholy mood, and how much this was improved by what was a cracking little party.

Thirty - Part One
On his 30th birthday, the other Earthlings threw Dan a surprise party. Which wasn't much of a surprise, because one of the guests hadn't realised that it was supposed to be a secret and had let the cat out of the bag. Nonetheless, a great time was had by all, and the night wasn't entirely without its surprises...

With their wedding just around the corner, Ruth and JTA had a combined stag/hen party weekend, a couple of weeks back. I wrote a little about it already - here's the second of the three parts. As usual, click on pictures to embiggen.

With their wedding just around the corner, Ruth and JTA had a combined stag/hen party weekend, a couple of weeks back (yes, I know it's taken me a while to blog about it. Here's some of the highlights. As usual, click pictures for bigger versions.

Murder At The Magic College
A week last Sunday - just a couple of day's after Paul's arrival - Earth hosted a housewarming event combined with our latest Murder Mystery, Murder at the Magic College. While we've had our fair share of Murder Mystery Nights before, this is only the third one I'd authored (after Murder in the Reign of …

Dave!!! Highlights From Robin's Birthday
Right now, I'm out in Oxfordshire for this a "code week" - a get-together for the purpose of hacking some code together - for the Three Rings project. That's got nothing to do with this post, but helps to offer a framing device by which I can explain why I was in such proximity to …

Macclesfield
Last weekend, I found myself in Macclesfield to celebrate the engagement of Liz and Simon. Highlights in brief included:
Board games with the happy couple and their friends, as well as the Aberites who were present. Just like old-school Geek Nights.
Liz & Simon's awesome new house. Also, their cats, one of whom … -
Murder... In Space!
Friday night was Murder... In Space!, our most recent murder mystery party. This is the second of our murder mystery nights that I've been the author of (the first one was Murder In The Reign Of Terror), and I took a lot of what I learned from the experience of writing and co-hosting of that …

Paul Isn't A Murderer
Much thanks to Ruth and Paul for running an awesome murder mystery party last night, and to Rory for snapping some great photos. We played Death By Chocolate, in which American tycoon Billy Bonka had been murdered, but by whom?
[warning: contains spoilers for the Death By Chocolate murder mystery pack]
Most remarkably, it wasn't Paul's … -
Congratulations Alec & Suz
Alec and Suz's wedding was this weekend, and I went along to the wedding reception on Saturday evening, along with Claire, Jimmy, Liz and Simon. We turned up stylishly early, and took advantage of the bar while we waited for anybody else we knew to appear (okay, so there was the bride and groom, of …

Pictures From The Weekend
I couldn't (easily) post these pictures while out-and-about, so I thought I'd share them now:
The tailbackon the M6. That's a serious amount of traffic at a complete standstill, and people million about on the carriageway. In the distance, in the first one, you can just about make out the tops of the emergency services vehicles, … -
Murder Mystery In Progress
I'm currently in the middle of a murder mystery night: The Brie, The Bullet, And The Black Cat, and I just wanted to point out how clever it is! My character is a secret agent from England in Casablanca before the British invasion of Africa. My alias - a French nightclub owner - has been …

Murder Mystery Night 2
Last night, Ruth ran the second of her murder mystery nights, which was cool. It didn't work as fluidly as the first - partially owing to, in my opinion, a less well-conceived pack, and partially because it turned out that Paul's character, who's gender Ruth had changed to facilitate the number of people available, was …

Extended Geek Night As “Birthday Party”
Yay. Woo. I'm 25. Etc. Quarter of a century old. [Insert meaningful speech here.] Ahem. Thanks to all of you who came to Troma Night yesterday and saw my birthday arrive; and in particular to those of you who brought me alcohol. Bonus.
As I seem to have been given at least two (three if you …
