Yes, a great night! Met the lovely Catherine from Sarah's and a number of other great gals. The challenge this time was catching a peak hour train (last time it was the middle of the day so not very crowded...) but yeah, I was fine. Felt very comfortable. Then I decided to catch a taxi from the train station to the club which meant... OMG... talking to someone. I did fine(ish) but somehow also managed to bump my chin on the door getting into the cab (seriously never done that before). Anyway it was fun, I did feel self conscious interacting with the cis staff at the club but they were all fine. It was great to be chatting over dinner with the others. That was about three and a half hours in public. Just as I was feeling comfortable with my voice it was sadly time to go. oh well... next time!

Have to say I did see a guy look at me when I was going to catch the cab, looked me right in the eyes as he walked past - but the look in his eyes wasn't "OMG guy in a dress" it was more like "I wouldn't mind a piece of her"! eeek!
