I've slept in worse places than the Nanford. The pub floor in the very first RV was somewhat hard, smelled funny and was covered in fag ash.

I vaguely remember it being you, me, Jeff, Chris and Jed kipping in various parts of the pub basement that night...

Yeah, and some lucky sods who realised sleeping upstairs was much better.

I can't remember how many of these things I've been to now.

I think this is show number 10 now ... mmm ... I think including all the .5's and so on.

As for Rv1 (2002) I do have very fond memories of that show! The first will always be remembered ... I'm very happy to forget RV2 thou ... where everything that could go wrong did!

Ah yes, 2 was the one where they kicked us out for some random reason, wasn't it?

I missed some of the .5s, but remember going to Frome once.

Walking round Oxford's kind of fun, you can point at a random building and go "That one was RV4", "That housing estate was RV1"

Hopefully it won't piss it down next time I visit so I can do the tourist thing and take some photos of the place. The only photos I have are of the backs of people's heads and computer screens

Hmm, I'm confused as to which RV was when.

My site lists this one as the first:

http://www.medwaypvb.com/yakfestpage.htm

which I was obviously at, as here's my pics:

http://www.medwaypvb.com/oxjolly1.htm

But I also have these pics of Yak's:

http://www.medwaypvb.com/yakfest02.htm

which has a link to here:

http://www.maison-de-stuff.net/mark/rvpics/rv1.html

which I wasn't at.

So which one was first?

RV1 was in that nice old pub that they later flattened and turned into housing.

It seems we've done it twice. There was some do on the 6/12/2002 which Jeff didn't go to, and contained the curry buffet. It was the one where me and Fuseball stayed in Jac's flat. FB then had to go home as he spent most of the night spewing his guts up.

I can't see you in any of those photos though.

Funny how it all blurs isn't it. And how badly recorded it all is, considering nearly everyone at these has cameras and we write about it here

That's something else... Was there an RV 1.5?

Dunno, guess we need Markie to confirm RV dates.

Got it...

It was RV 2.5

http://www.yakyak.org/viewtopic.php?t=4001

The hint is the Scaelextrix track. It's only ever been to two RV's, and I was at one of them (in Frome) and not the other.

It was a test run for RV3 and a one nighter.

This is also a little hint

Sounds right... wasn't at RV2.5, but was at 1, 2, 3 (well all the rest!)... Jeff's pics for 1 are defo right, the great darkened pub with the stone walls.

Riptides in the space/time continuum couldn't keep me away.

Wild horses aren't even on the grid.

OR the origional

RV1 or YakFest as it was known was the first outing for me with Jeff was using his phone to take pics and sending them direct to PVB for upload. It also saw the release of GR++ It was a fab event.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RV2 was at the Pub Oxford, and was crap because it had no electric! ha ha! a real suprise for me as I was assured 15 sockets when only 6 worked ... I hated that RV although it was the first time I went Green.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RV2.5 was the first gig with Andy at the Folly Bridge. I hired a Indian Chef to cook for us and it was lovely!.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RV3 was the first main event at the Folly 3 days after Andy left! But all went well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RV3.5 was again at the Folly under Roger and Mags ... we had a band! I got very ill on cake! LOL and passed out in the Indian ... then folk got thrown ouw ... mmmm but overall not a bad gig to be fair.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RV4 was in Frome with Andy in that lovely big venue ... arr how do I miss it. A bit of a bitch to get to but once there it was awesome!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RV4.5 also in Frome when Bubba chipped 11 xboxes! Ha ha! and the grill up the road was our main sourse of foodage for the weekend.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RV5 again in Frome was a great one! We had SID80's acoustic live! and Jeff did a presentation off new works on Unity + Llamatron challenge into the early hours with MooBaa.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RV Back In Time saw the first collaboration with Chris Abbott in Manchester.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RV5.25 was last year at the Port Mahon ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RV6 or RV 2006 The International Llamasoft Jolly is this May! and we get the whole pub too ....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

:-) I do need to write the full history of this along with piccies at some stage.

We mooove on into the future, goat only knows how long these will continue, until no body wants them I guess ...

Numbers depending ... this will happen ... and I have a new venue in mind too

BUT we need to see how ticket sales go this year.

Super.

Now I've got Markie's list I'll amend the archive and site map later today, once I'm back from the hospital.
