Now that I'm reading your post it's dawning on me that I would definitely have had a butterfly attack if I'd been going. So there's an upside to missing all the sport, namely, that unless I get a whole lot richer, or one of these meetings actually does end up in Trinidad, I can read about all the boozy fun and watch the photos with ne'er a queasy twitch to the stomach! There now. I feel much better. :) Ooh, sounds like it was great fun!

They're probably an effete townie abomination though. See, bloggers are not all sad sociopaths.
