7. Best Photo Award
Image sent to Chairmun FF SS on what's app - for me, this photo sums up the following DC experience perfectly: FF DMW on the phone repeatedly to 'Syoga during the meal at DC V - as DC Chairmun - and then getting antsy with us for giving him shit for being on the phone to his bird at DC - and as Chairmun. Subsequently inviting 'Syoga to join DC V later that evening, taking the crown as the first female to ever attend a DC (accompanied by a crazy dog), and then binning her a few weeks later. Cheers for that. Photo credit: FF SS
