Chez Hagakure Vodka, Juice & Soda Water Low-Key Dinner Party
With AG.
So yes: about a month ago I accompanied my colleague and fellow Merrie Scrambler Major G to Rainbow Serpent. She'd scored a free ticket and needed a handbag company; we went halves.

On the upside (of being delayed by 24 hours) I got to send my postcards personally, and to spend all night loitering in central London. There was no downside really.
In other news: Vale RAW. May the fnord etc.
As told to j hawthorne.
~'s extraordinary invention, The Discombobulator (tm) astounds and delights jaded party guests who thought they'd seen everything:
And we didn't end up setting fire to anything! But I expect it was for the best.
Hosting by Steve Cronin. (Thanks Steve!)
About two weeks old now. I never did find out why he got assed. He was a good operative; Charles loved him, which is rare. It's mysterious.
I'm so proud.
I would normally keep such a thing out of the public sphere, but she posted mine.
