Well just got back from the Bristol munch as a first timer. Thank you Tweeky for arranging such a wonderful affair! I was amazed at the number of people and so diverse. We drank them dry of vodka and jack daniels, think they'd have us back lol! I nearly didn't go, and even walked passed the venue twice but glad I eventually mustered the courage.
Have to say though as a shy retiring hippie it bought a few things home:
i) I need to chat to a WHOLE lot more people here online before I go to a munch, being a wallflower just don't work out when everyone else is chatting away, self-confidence is definitely the key and sadly I really lacked it, goddamit, was always shite at networking.
ii) Dress up, the squirrel t-shirt really was a poor effort on my part. Knew I should have worn the funky velvet suit. Maybe next time.
iii) Long hair on a guy really isn't the thing in swinging circles, felt like an emo kid meeting someones parents lol, c'est la guerre, it'll be back in fashion one day just you wait!
Thanks to those I chatted to and to everyone I smiled at, sorry about that! Interesting evening and next time hopefully I'll be a little more sorted. Was hit with the clue stick tonight
Many, many thanks again to all those involved, great party (apart from the karaoke!). Here's to the next one....
