My roommate and I were surprised that no-one had yet started a thread to slander me. :P
So I'll do that. But first I'll get in an apology. heh.
Write-In 3 turned into Wine-In 3 for me. I took the fact that AFK was BYO a little too far at bottle number two and dinner was long gone. Bottle number three, though I don't remember it very clearly, was way out. I was planning to "unlock my muse". I got to the point of forgetting how to walk, let alone write. heh. Oh, and I also forgot that strangers rarely want more than one hug.
Yeah. Sorry about that. I didn't intend to get that smashed and then proceed to bother everyone with loud drunk talk and multiple hugs. It's no excuse but I'm going through a particularly rough patch at the moment. Who knows, maybe I told the people who were there about mah messy breakup and other personal nuggets? So yeah. It's not a simple causal relationship, of course. But certainly a contributing factor.
Anyway... thanks to the people who were there for putting up with me. I'm honestly sorry if I made anyone uncomfortable. Or, more likely, annoyed. 'Speshially the two lovely year 11 lasses whom no doubt had a concerned mother when she came to pick them up. You are welcome to NaNoMail me with any specific complaints. ;) As penance I'm going to suggest to the poor AFK guys when I go crawling back there that they immortalise my stupidity forever. A photo with the caption, "First person to ever get kicked out of AFK cafe for being roaring drunk." What cha all reckon? heh
A big special thanks to Ben aka Logikos and Scott aka Cynikles for helping me negotiate the stairs in a non-lethal fashion at the busstop.
So - despite Rummy in the corner doing scattered lines from Ben Folds' cover of a particularly misogynistic and socially unacceptable song... did anyone have any breakthroughs? XD My story took an unexpected turn when Peter helped me out of a bout of writer's block. Now I have one fewer character to worry about because the eccentric Scottish librarian decapitated him. Perfect.

The last moments of the evening went a little like this. (It was closing time, anyway, so I don't count it as being kicked out per se. :P)
Manager Dude: Is somebody taking this guy home?
Me: (excitedly) Jamin!!! Heeeee takes me home. (smile)
Manager Dude: Could they do it soon?
Ben let him know that he was takin' me 'ome and puttin' me ta bed and everyone started packing up.
I hugged the Manager Dude repeatedly and apologised for being munted. I either did this three times because I really meant it, or forgot that I had done it moments earlier.
I mused to the Manager Dude
Me: I could be the first person EVER to get kicked out of AFK Cafe for being off-my-tits drunk!
Manager Dude (while enduring hug #3): That would be hilarious!
Apparently there was a direct correlation with the immediacy of when Ben and I had to leave and the frequency of my hugs he received.

"I definately left way too early"
You did miss quite a show. Nothing compared to what I got on the bus ride home, but quite the show none the less.

Fun times, fun times. We shall have to do something again in a more social context. Well, possibly without the writing. Who knows! It was fun anyway, and you were an amusing drunk.
