beware: rambling might occur!

devmeet in Berlin was awesome!!
Especially the presentation of the new features omg, omg, omg - So excited about "groups"!!

Don't know what I'm talking about? well, doofus, go check out #hq a real live group on dA!

Meeting with =pica-ae and `ginkgografix
Those girls are so sweet. Would have been nice if we had even more time together - we kind of only just got over the point where it stopped being awkward, but we made it! We met at the station (bahnhof I think ) and we walked to brandenburger gate and further beyond to get something to eat - the food wasn't that fantastic, but we talked and got along

Just before 2pm we went back to Brandenburger Tor and saw $spyed and $Heidi and some other peeps. And from that point people started appearing and we were soon a large group of people assembled infront of one of Berlins most visited tourist attractions Then there was taking of groups photos and then the walking to Tiergarden - it was pretty cold, but my tummy was ok in my big orange and brown hoodie - my legs and butt in my comfy but thin green pants didn't feel to good when we sat on the hard stone ground for an hour listening to Angelo

Later in the afternoon it started to rain a little and the four of us (my boyfriend (aka Lars "the fan" or "Lines Boxfriend") was with us as well) went to the station and sat down to get something to drink and eat. I got the best sausages! mmm - they were good! And we shared a 1,5 liter beer

After that Anne (:devginkgografix) went to catch the train, soon followed by Anne (=pica-ae whose icon is not a penguin btw) and Lars and I thought about going to an absinthbar we'd been talking about. But Lars had already been nodding of abit in the bar (I think mostly because =pica-ae and I was being all nerdy and talking dA stuff) so we went to virgin and bought "Amazing Stories" and "The Happening". Then we went back to the hotel room and watched some of the amazing stories, which brings me to the question:

Have anyone seen "Daddy Mummy"?

Cause if you haven't you really ought to! It's one of the best shortmovies I've seen in years. The rest of the amazing stories are of questionable quality though
I could probably go on and on, but I think I will end my report on the Berlin trip with this: I wanna go back!

The Amazing Patilda
=Patilda has made me a fantastic portrait and you can see it right here:


This was an arttrade and the journal skin she wanted is almost done!

*live-view

Live-view is a new group for people who wants to host their live-views of journal css for deviantart.

To submit a journal for live-view write a note with either a link to the deviation or the css and html.

I, =brgtt will also be checking out the submitted journals skins in Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer - so you could use live-views BEFORE you upload a skin to deviantArt, and you will get a "works in Safari, firefox and Internet Explorer - checked by live-view" button to put in the preview of your journal skin.

live-view isn't just for the people who make the css - it's also very much for people browsing for a journal skin. Going through the journals will be an easy way of searching for a journal skin you like and viewing live views at the same time

Go check it out!!
