I went up to Manchester and said hi to Strife (in his new home) and Bridge, who was chilling out and graduating and stuff. We even saw a church and an old library, too!

Just a few months or so back, I happened to actually meet up with one of those cosplayers. In fact, we actually work together and live in the same town, which really is kind of surprising.
