Not talking about exile yet.

For one lazing around and watching (for me) far too much telly, I think I have too many things in my head. One of them concerns the annual festival of 'i got' wearing a little thin, but if I don't like it, I don't have to read it. (ie, my problem, not yours. I'll deal with it. Though of course by emitting the thought I've essentially offloaded that problem. Gosh, I feel better already. Isn't this fun?)

Another one is that I think I want to go to this. Which means nailing the vestiges of a plot to the Continuing Submarine Malarkey and sending it off in a hopeful manner. On or about the first week in January. Erk!

Now, the tribes I know best are hackerdom (which is doing this right now and probably listening to a lot of humppa) and gothery. Skiffy I wot not. Seem like a nice bunch, but their festivals, customs, observances and traditions are a near mystery. I'm like one of those people you see at gigs sometimes: "Is you a goths?" [/Weebl] "No, I just like the Sisters. Take your filthy boots and hair away from me. Go on, gertcha! Or I'll set fire to the tassles on yer skirt..."

The point that I'm failing to work towards is that I don't know if there are UK versions of same I should be thinking about or if indeed the idea is a good one (I believe it is, if approached with the same mindset as WTH, and an opportunity to soak up knowledge from the people who run Making Light should be grabbed with as many limbs as is likely.)

Probably.

"I don't know if there are UK versions of same"

I don't know the answer to that, but I know a man who does. I shall prod him with a sharp stick when he returns from his current jaunt.

That would be absolutely icebox.

Don't know a sufficient amount about the skiffy tribe, though it is something that would tempt me if I had more talent

You've got me thinking about tribes though!

Good^2.

I've gibbered about the tribal nature of things before. Usually when I'm far away from anyone with a clue in that field, so I don't make them cringe or show myself up as a pseudo-intellectual.

I have no fears on either count ;)
