Retrovision 2008 - the PIX :-)

[Markie]

It's begins then ... all the thinking, building, planning, arranging and just about everything else ...

When I did the first RV in 2002 ... I have a stack of stuff that fitted into the car that was the whole RV ... now (see below) I have a stack of stuff thats not even gaming! It's setup, Trophies, T-shirts, stands etc etc etc ....



and thats not all of it! There's the P.A and the stuff for all that, oh, projector stands too ... of whuch there are 2 ... blimey!

even Rebekah has leant a hand in testing the 2008 game ...



So, tomorrow morning, 9.30ish ... I'll walk into a BIG empty room ... and start mooving stuff around ... then as the team arrive .. we'll create for you a weekend of GAMING - DRINKING and CURRY! YAY ....

and yea ... that 360 in front of Rebekah is the pressie you lot got me a while back, still working a treat!

Hard to say ... I'm hoping to be home by mid-evening to chill and rest for the weekend ahead ... but ya never know.

Sorry I cant be more specific.

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.

Ill be there even if markie and the rest leave for they have homes to go to and then ill be board outta me noggin if they leave at say 7PM at the latest and i dont blame them So i suppose you could still hang around with a mad Scot thats if you want.......i mean dare to. I dont bite honest

Well my Journey to Rv has now offically started and sat at Rob's deciding if there is anything we can leave as 10 bags on the train between 2 of us might be a bit much, and you guys thought we did well last year
oh well won't be online until later (unless i find another wireless connection to steal bandwidth from) see you guys there!!

Take photos of the setting up please

Certainly will ... :-)

I have a dilemma now... still waiting for the sample copy of the book to arrive, do I wait for the post in the morning? I may have to catch a later train and not get into Oxford until 6pm...

Have a great (long) weekend everyone, and if you can please have a caffeinated beverage of your choice for me between the beers if you can fit one in.

Lots and lots of piccies are needed for those of us that are grounded. LOL

Arrr ... the day of moo-ving ... It happens every time, the night before I cant sleep so when I do get up I already feel knackered, then loading the bloody car ... ready for the trip to the pub. Ha, I use the word 'trip' ... where 'pop' would be better as it's only 3 miles away ... Frome was a trip ... and what a fuckin trip that was too! Frome will be remember for many things, the BEST venue ever! It has to be said, plenty of top grub to hand but the trip there was a fuckin mare .... Millions of roundabouts and speed camera's, of which one even caught the YaK as he dropped outa warp on final approach.

But first things first ... where would I be without my bag of green!



So anyway ... to the kit ... Issues already as Junosix had to drop outa the trip thus rendering Robs screens untransportable, so after some manic phone calls yesturday we finally managed to sort somthing else out .... Well played MadHippo and Pete for stepping in and loading their cars even MORE than before ... and all is well. Rob arrives later today with Matt bringing a huge 10 bags of kit via train! ...

And here is where my load begins ... first, empty car of crap ....



Then, fill car with new shiny stuff .....



Thats load 1 loaded .... will be dropping Rebekah at school then running this load to the pub. Then setup begins!

Next stage is be home for 1.30 to meet Trolley, then park his car at my placce and head back to the pub ... by which time Bane will be in full motion and ranting on in a totally wierd launguage that is English with a massive hint of broad scot! No doubt I'll be reminding him to lower the volume and speak slowely ... so that way I have a chance of understanding him. Top bloke Bane ... and after leaving Falkirk at Midnight last night a rather huge pint is coming his way.

Picking Rob and Matt up from the station at 3.30 and bringing them to the pub with kit ... mmmmm ... maybe 2 trips that!

More pix later folks ....

I'm currently waiting around for a car to pick me up and take me to JFK International.

Excitement! Slight Hangover!

[Sir_LANs-a-lot]

Well .. update then ...

I arrived at the Folly ... 9.30 ish .. pulled in and parked up. Relaxed ... so roll a smoke , grab the Independant and just read for a bit ... relaxing with it all, gonna be a long weekend!
Finally summoned the energy to get on with it ... well, plenty of energy, but with a lack of sleep last night I'ma bit knacked ... so I wander around the corner and BANE! Sat there in full on scottish vocal range ... excellent ... and bless the guy, even helped unload the car ... actually, he unloaded the whole lot!




So I got onwith the rest of the setup ... posters, namebadges, T's,and the raffle piles ...






Right, Im home now till Trolley gets here ... then back to the Folly, then Rail Station to fetch Rob and Matt.
