Re: Retrovision 2008 - Last Minute Panic Thread :-)

Post by tentaclesex »

I just booked a room at the Newton for Thursday night. I'm not sure if I'll be showing up at the Folly Bridge Inn on Thursday though, as I'll probably be getting into Oxford pretty late, and I'll be tired from the flight (which arrives at Heathrow at 19:40). It may be better to rest up for the next day.

If anyone has any 1541 C64 game disks they don't want, or are willing to lend me - can you bring them to RV?
I STILL can't find mine, and my SX-64 will be pretty useless without any. :-S

I've got an Action Replay V6, which I think I know where it is.. but if you could bring yours, that'd be fab.

Cheers mate. :D

How late might one expect Thursday night's festivities to go? I don't know when I'm going to get in to Oxford, but once I pick up my key and drop off my stuff I may be tempted to shamble over to the inn.

I'm now OFFICIALLY excited about RV.

Tomorrow i've got the day off work - going to get some bits sorted with the car, pack some bits up. Then Friday i've got a court hearing and then I can jump in the car and tootle down to Oxford. Hoping i'll have my first pint around tea-time-ish.

Will be good to see you bunch again - see y'all later......

I'll be bringing the Yorkshire/Lincs contingent down on Friday evening. Four people are about to spend six hours in my Peugeot 106, we may require a crowbar to get out at the end.

I'd call it a road trip if I'd not done the journey at least five times before :)

That's fair enough. I'm probably going to be too tired to do anything anyway. I'm being picked up at 3:10 am tomorrow morning by the van that's taking me to the airport. By the time I reach Oxford I expect to be fairly dazed.
