THB Meet London Pictures 2010

The Honourbound Alliance had its annual summer meet-up in London on the last Saturday in July. 22 people, players and friends, congregated together at Alexander Palace and then trooped over to Basil and Elsheindra's The One Roses house in southeast London for an evening BBQ. The weather was great, the company fine, and the BBQ burning (but not on fire). We had a good time and we saw a lot of new faces this year.

Honourbound London Meet Pictures from July 31st

Ein: Elsheindra and Shekin. Not a great picture of me, but there didn't seem to be many of me to choose from. I'm wearing my Edinburgh THB meet T-Shirt that has my name on the back.	Ein: Ciarana (right) and her sister enjoy some food on the Phoenix Bar's patio.	Ein: Not very good picture of Basil with Jnamber in the Phoenix Bar. I didn't have any other pictures of Jnamber, alas.

Ein: Some people explored the Alexandra Palace grounds; most hung around the Phoenix Bar outdoor patio. Front left to back, we have Kariandra, Shekin, Darkhades. Back right to front: Archemedes, Corkscrew, Evenstars, Jambat, Isiltari, impling, and Alex.	Ein: The famous Shekmobile AKA "Shekin's Money Pit" was looking sharp.	Ein: Are you looking at me?! There's a small deer preserve on the grounds of the Alexander Palace.

Evenstars: Divinity, Evenstars, and Archemedes at the BBQ.	Ein: The crowd waiting in front of The One Roses house when Basil, Elsheindra, Kari, Corkscrew, and Shinytoaster returned from Alexander Palace. Why everyone's facing that direction, I'm not sure.

From left to right (back): Divinity, Shekin, Darkhades, Evenstars, Hephmeister. Archemedes in front.

Ein: Basil (the fox) and Shinytoaster, who came from Canada, waiting at the Lee train station. You'd think Basil was trying to avoid being photographed.	Ein: The Phoenix Bar building at the Alexander Palace. Imposing and at the top of a very large hill.	Ein: Corkscrew, Kariandra, and Evenstars relaxing while waiting for everyone to show up at the Phoenix Bar at the Alexander Palace. The drinks in front of Kari look dangerously… green. Good news, everyone?
