A little late report on the devMEET in Paris! I had to recover yesterday, haha. I've been reading through reports from other deviants, friends and staff and looking at a gazillion of photos that were taken during the meet. I figured I'd write my own report on it! Could be a little TL;DR, but for those interested, continue reading!

So, FritsPlays (Frits) and namenotrequired (Bart) decided I had to be at the devMEET. Period. So they paid a huge amount for tickets and I couldn't be more thankful. It's definitely something I wouldn't have want to miss!

June 9th, at 4.45 AM my alarm went off. I got up all excited! I usually have a hard time getting out of bed, but today was different in every way possible, haha. I got ready and left my place at 5.45 and got on the 6.00 AM train to Amsterdam. I texted Frits to make sure he was awake and didn't sleep through his alarm like two years ago when we went to Berlin :B He was awake! Yay! Got a text back from AnaNaszynska (Ana) that she was kept awake by some loud drunk people and we were both excited to meet again after such a long time!

At 6.50 I arrived in Amsterdam and found Frits. We got on the train about 15 minutes later and god we were so lame. I could described some of the lame jokes, but I'm pretty sure these are the 'you had to be there to realize how funny there are'-kind of jokes. :lol: My jaws were already hurting when we picked up Bart at Schiphol station. Bart didn't seem to be as awake as we were, haha. We sat, talked and laughed for a while when we got to Rotterdam (or Antwerp, I don't remember) when we had to get out of our seats that we claimed to be ours because people reserved them apparently. We had to stand all the way to Paris and we (read: Frits) were kind of annoying due to lack of coffee so pretty much every flyer in the restaurant disappeared in the garbage. Nothing's safe when he's around.

Around 10.35 we arrived in Paris :dummy: and AnaNaszynska picked us up and huggled us! Yay! These were good huggles. Right after that we got stopped by the French police who asked if we had drugs. I guess because we were Dutch or something. One of them felt up Bart, but because Bart wasn't impressed at all he didn't even touch the rest of us haha. Way to go, Bart! I'm glad he didn't look into my bag though, I had an extra bag with me which literally says; "This bag contains a gun, a bomb, a very large knife and loads of drugs". I'm pretty sure mister police guy wouldn't have thought it was funny! :lol:

We walked through Paris for a while, hunting down some sandwiches and drinks. After that we headed for the Mecano bar and we arrived around 12.00 or so. We sat down and got some drinks, and shortly after that SaTaNiA and ZeldaDreams showed up, followed by a lot of $taffers who came right after that (Yes, Frits, a perfect 'that's what she said'-comment!).

It was awesome getting to meet so many people from $taff! ikazon is a great huggable person. He smiles the entire time. He lights up the room, and I think that's why so many people took so many photos of him. Drunken-Splice was awesome to talk to! So was ArikaRinkishika, she so excited about everything! spyed is really nice and easy to talk to. Heidi was really great, asked us a lot of questions about dA, just as OnlyTheGoodNotes. ArtBIT was very sure I was Australian. Or at least Australian for a few minutes, haha. haldron is really nice and he seemed to have a lot of fun with Frits! Ayame-Kenoshi is a little excited bouncy ball, but pachunka is even more hyper, haha. leomon32 gives good hugs too. It should be mentioned. And mattdanna and danlev as well. And inazar too. And allixsenos was awesome too! I feel like I'm forgetting so many people! Sorry guys, I really didn't forget any of you :love:

God, I hugged so many people! :lol: I'm usually not much of a hugger, but I just kept hugging people, waving at people and just chat all day long. So many people to talk to, say hi to, hug and/or exchange usernames with.

I had a few drinks, amongst Bacardi Cola, and had Sex on the Beach with Ana a couple of times :flirty:

Sadly we had to leave at 6.30 again to be able to make it back to our train in time. We all agreed one day was too short and Ana already said I could crash at her place when I'm back at Paris. And I'll be back, fo sho!

Thanks to everyone who was there, but especially to AnaNaszynska for being an awesome Muffin friend and of course FritsPlays and namenotrequired for making it possible for me to be there in the first place. I owe you guys all so much! :tighthug:



So, pictures! I didn't take that many myself to be honest, but I've been browsing around!




AnaNaszynska has a journal filled with photographs, even one with me smiling (the other shot with me is just.. odd :B)
Yousry-Aref has so many pictures in his gallery, right here!
ArikaRinkishika (who is awesome, btw) has quite a lot here.

And of course there's the official devMEET report by Toby, right here!

The one from Ayame-Kenoshi contains a lot of other links as well! =)

Haha, I just realized my butt got a few favs and so did my belt. People seemed to like both. I just realized by looking at Toby's report, which contains a picture of me :paranoid:


PS. Also, guys, my username was based on 'paranoid' and 'annoying', so it's not offensive to mention either one of those words ;p

You had to start really early! :faint:
But it's great to hear that everything worked fine, all have been up in time and that you enjoyed Paris that much. Looking at the pics it still is kinda scary how many people have been at that little place :D

lol, how did Bart to manage that? It's not easy to scare police people!


I already told Trevor, that just looking at the pics of him smiling makes you feel happy instantly. He has such an heart-warming smile, it's amazing!
Saw one photo of you sitting at the same table like +spyed and probable other staff members. You look like you really enjoyed that conversation and like it was very interesting. Bet it has been a nice experience to talk to them about all kind of stuff.

Sex on the beach in a bar with a girl while soo many people were around :no: :lol:
