Quote from: "Cairn"What in God's sweet name am I trying to do in this picture?????

I think we caught you trying to enjoy your ice cream.  Once you sunk into the chair next to Mrs. Cottingham with that little bowl, you looked like you didn't have a care in the world.  What a lovely little street corner that is.  Hated to leave, really.
...and I can feel the world is turning...turn around

Cairn

Maybe I was trying to cover up one of those nasty brain freezes1 If so, then i must look like that often! :)  I did love that little place. i would go back to that town again just for the heck of it. it had good vibes and the trees were incredible, i love trees!

gr8gonzo

Oh, I know!  The trees were amazing.  I was informed that what I thought were cherry trees were actually dogwoods.  What do I know?  I'm not a veterinarian.

A couple more pics from the meet 'n' greet:


The British shall be confined to this table.


Frosties* with Frost* - gr8gonzo, dtjoez, Cairn's head (she's somewhat taller in person) and rogerg


My moment with Frost*


Me and Nick.  I took pity and allowed my wife to photograph him with me.  Poor guy.

Cairn, it was nice to have met you. It was nice to have met everyone, thanks for the pics!
Awesome. Indeed.

Once again, Frost* brings people together!

Thanks guys for a jaw dropping astonishing show, and for taking the time to hang out and chat a bit during what must have been a crazy week!

This little number is from the point when John hopped off the stage to watch Jem play Snowman 3.0

I'm glad and happy you all had a great time! I got over being all bummed out about
not being able to make the show,but that is life. It's all a game of chance.
FWIW one of my friends an I are planning a trip to the UK at some point in the
next couple years so there will be another opportunity to meet some of you
and have a few drinks and RAWK!

The show WAS captured so there's a cd to look forward to,plus all the impending
FROST* reports that I can;t wait to see.

Always good to hear everyone made it back in one piece ;) Have the boys boarded
their plane for a return back to blighty?

It was very nice to meet so many Frosties* (rogerg, Cairn, dtjoez, landslug, Mirror, RobCott, Moo Bass, vkamicht, leelustig - remind me if I've forgotten anyone).

It's so cool that Frost* brought us from all over the country to meet and share this unique experience together.

Bloody hell!  :D  :D  :D  How effervescent!

Talking of which...

Effervescence is the escape of gas from an aqueous solution.

In simple terms, it is the result of the chemical reaction occurring in the liquid which produces a gaseous product.


Measuring carbonation
The quality of carbonated beverages including soft drinks, seltzer and beer is affected by the amount of dissolved CO2 (the gas that causes carbonation) and the amount of carbonic acid in the drink. Carbon dioxide (CO2) has an infrared absorption wavelength of 4.27 micrometers and can be measured online using an infrared carbonation sensor. This is an improvement to the traditional inferred measurement method using temperature and pressure for Henry's Law coefficients because this methodology is influenced by changes in density and alcohol content. Infrared measurements are not affected by changes in density or alcohol content because they are actually measuring the CO2 molecule using the Beer-Lambert law. The amount of carbonation in a beverage is measured in Volumes or grams/liter. This is because introducing CO2 into a beverage will change its weight. An easy experiment to prove this is to take a seltzer bottle and weigh it. Carefully remove the top slowly so no liquid escapes from the bottle as the gas escapes the weight of the bottle of seltzer will go down. Shaking the bottle closed and then opening it to remove more CO2 will increase this effect.

Ah cool, so that was you! I'm surprised you know that was me, actually... or did you guess?! I was talking to my friends about the forum Frosties (they have no idea who any of you are) and I was blabbing out names "Oh that's totally rogerg over there!" and then at one point I said "I think gr8gonzo should be here..." heheh  :D

Rogerg, I did see you a bunch of times but never got to say hello. Or rather, never worked up the nerve to walk up to a stranger and claim to know who they were...

Jem tried to call security on me for bootlegging a shirt :(

gr8gonzo

Yes, yes.  When we were up by the merchandise table, I commented that I used your Frosterisk for my avatar (still do, on Twitter).  

And I ran into you again at the hotel when you were all filtering in for the after party.

Not too shabby, as far as weekends go, eh?

Nope, not one bit. Thanks Frost* for a birthday I'll never forget! ;)

Have a house point Brom.  ;)
