As noted in Bleatings, I've got a ticket going spare for RV2008 (possibly two, if the other one's not been snapped up yet!)

Markie: is it worth having a "last minute RV changes/spare tickets" thread (assuming there's still people clamouring for tickets)?

Indeed, I was going to do a general announcement on Monday ... with that included.

:( I was hoping to be there on Thursday afternoon for the setup but owing to circumstances beyond my control I now can't leave home until Friday lunchtime.

Have a pint for me fellas - and i'll catch you all on Friday evening. :beerbang:

Still haven't found anywhere to stay - might look into the camp site that mele mentioned - hope it's not too loud as some sites(post-googling) suggest it is.
Mind you, from what i've worked out - it shouldn't be more than about £20odd for the weekend, and it's been a while since I been camping.

Just did a little update on the attendance list re. Steinar Lund:

Spoke to him on the phone earlier tonight about the artwork auction and, pending how Mayhem wants to arrange to get the artwork, Steinar may bring some/all to RV on the Saturday.

I doubt he'll be stopping all day, but I have given him the 'opening times' so fingers crossed he'll get there. :)

There will be a safe area behind the projector screens for bags, art and all that jazz so please do use it.

Just be aware that even then, anything left is still at risk and the pub / rv cannot be held responsible for any damages ... not that we've ever had any but you know what Im saying eh.

Suppose I'd better book some accomodation! I've not got round to it yet.

Does anyone need a lift from North London btw?

I haven't decided what I'm doing Thursday. My flight arrives in London at 7:20 PM that day, so I could hop right on a train or whatever and head out to Oxford then, but I may stay in London and go on Friday. I don't have accommodation anywhere that night. I think I could trick someone from London into putting me up for the night, or I could just look around for a last-second room in Oxford.

I will also need to improvise something for the night of the 10th, since my return flight is Monday (the 11th) at 4 PM. I think for that night it will be better to already have myself in London so I don't have to worry about travel delays causing me to miss my flight or anything.

I am not much for planning ahead. I have my flight, and I have the interim nights booked at the hostel, but the rest is up in the air.
Long, long ago, there were a man who try to make his skill ultimate. Because of his bloody life, it's no accident that he became involved in the troubles.
