That's basically the general reaction of the Summer in the City goers, meant in both good and sometimes bad ways.
For the first time this year it was held indoors, in a large venue called the Brewery. Turns out it wasn't large enough.
But! Positives!
Personally I had an amazing time! And I met a lot of brilliant people.
Friday consisted of me meeting new people, and hanging out with some current friends like Tom, Luke and Adam, all of whom are members of my YouTube collab channel WelshAreComing.
I met new friends such as Olie, Jess and a load of others and had an amazing time in the gig watching Tom Law, Carrie Fletcher and Eddplant.
I said "bazinga" at the StickAid table and got a free wristband. That was fun.
A cool story from the Friday; I was sitting on some steps casually chatting to Jess when out of the corner of my eye I see Bertie Gilbert (bertiebertg/scorpius malfoy), heading to the stairs. Like a boss I thought sod it, and while still chatting to Jess, held my hand up for a high 5.
Which I recieved. And it was the most epic, all powerful high 5 ever.
All while casually chatting to Jess as if nothing was happening.
Yes i'm a BAMF.
Saturday was awesome as I got to see my friend Sani (saniday) and hang out with her for the day at SITC. I bought the starter deck of Sopio because I have a different one, me and Sani both bought Jonny Eveson posters, mine was the Summer in the City one and Sani bought the Inspector Spacetime one.
We met Myles Dyer (Blade376 on YouTube) and he was absolutely lovely, having a full conversation with us and letting us have a photo with him. And hugging me ^^
We also briefly met EddPlant and got a photo with him too, and we chatted with Lindsay (Charlie McDonnell's wonderful mother) and had a nice chat, myself having met her at last year's Summer in the City and Sani having a photograph with her).
I also managed to meet Beth Collins (Skarosoul on Tumblr) which was cool as we've been chatting on Twitter a while and it was nice to meet in person.
We sat down in one room at random and it turned out to be a talk with meekakitty and nanalew so that was fun! Afterwards in the same room Tom Milsom had a talk going on which was really interesting and funny. I also managed to hug and chat to Tom after meeting him earlier in the year at a Cardiff gathering.
One of the highlights of the day for me was seeing Eddplant, Mr Tino Forever and Hudson Taylor perform in the open mic room. At first only Harry HT was there performing for a laugh, but afterwards Alfie arrived and they performed properly including a new song called "Cinematic Lifestyle" which was brilliant! I've loved Harry and Alfie ever since last year's Summer in the City when I met them and hung out with Harry a little on the Sunday. A plus to seeing them this year was that Sani now likes them and had "Battles" in her head all day! Alfie doing some actions at the end must have sold it to her :P
Unfortunately, due to immense hunger, me and Sani didn't stay for the gig that night, which featured Orla Gartland and Bribry among others. Luckily i've already seen them perform before so no loss there.
We went to get McDonald's and then, like the nerdy weirdos we are, went in search of the St. Bart's Hospital roof that Sherlock jumped off of in "The Reichenbach Fall". After wandering suspiciously around a hospital, getting strange looks, and at least on dead end, we found it! And took pictures!
Nerdy and weird FTW!
On Sunday we were finally outside again, in Jubilee gardens. I wasn't going to go at first but then Patrick (hathi444) convinced me to. I had met him at the same gathering I met Tom Milsom...they did come together after all. And it was great to see him again! I also made more new friends including David, ASP and a few others.
Ironically, the one day we were outside there was a storm, full on thunder and lightening. Luckily it didn't last long before it stopped and the grass was eventually dry enough to sit on. I had been missing the Welsh weather anyway after the past 3 days of scorching weather, the highest temperature at one point was 31 degrees C!!! As you can probably imagine, the tube was a joy all weekend in that heat.
So, basically I had an absolutely amazing time this weekend and I cannot wait until next year!
