luckykaaWhy did nobody tell me Develop was in Brighton? Shame our company didn't want to pay for us to go. Some of the top guys went though, to the lavish award ceremony where the game that I got an "additional thanks" credit won an award.
Plus side was an online friend of mine went. Shame I didn't realise she was in Brighton yesterday as well, but that's life. We managed to meet up for a few minutes. Went to the beach. It was really windy. Ska-girl has lots of hair (in lots of colours) she turned into Cousin It for a bit. Not for long though because she wanted to go to catch a train. Then her co-workers got distracted by some chance of gatecrashing a Linden Labs recruitment party. We weren't invited but people thought it might be worth gatecrashing. It's a recruitment event after all. I would have tried to blag my way in with my disarming honesty (I'm a developer. I have a business card). but Ska-girl didn't seem to be too keen, and that was fine.
I walked her to the station. We got detaoured to Ben and Jerry's. She went for the coffee one and got a bit hyperactive. This did mean that she missed the most immediate train so there was another 20 minutes or so to kill so we went through Brighton's North Laines. A few of the shops were still open.
And she's a real hottie! Alas she's only interested in a Nice Jewish Boy. But it was fun. And i think I've tempted her to come back. Always nice to have friends.
And she wanted to know if Brighton has a Shakeaway. Once again Brighton comes up trumps for fine dining!
