Halloween II

We arrive at the G Tower at about 8.30 and try to work out where to go. I can hear The Cranberry's "Zombie" playing, so assume that's the direction we need to be heading in - and make our way downstairs to the party...

The queue is huge to get in and we suspect that the organisers have oversold the event, and we have to wait for ages in a queue in the shopping centre underneath the Tower with a load of young people. I feel old – good job I have a total face mask I can use to hide my age…

The queue isn't moving particularly fast and after about half an hour, one of the organisers come to us and checks our names, and we have a go at her about having to wait so long – apparently you can’t get the pizza and booze until you are seated, and there are no seats left: what a load of crap!
Anyway, we ask whether we can just go and stand in the bar and wait, rather than in the queue, and she (sensing that we were about to commit some real horror) says that it was OK, and she’ll come and find us when there was a free table. Sounded ok…
