Llamasoft Jolly 2011 - May 21st & 22nd - RV 10th Anniversary

[Markie]

Rob mentioned in a PM about MCM expo and possible date clash? Could shoot for 21st May instead ...

[Markie]

Would be good if this could be opened to the Retro Gamer Forum crew for attending again, as that is more my home these days and a lot of them attended RV this year and loved it! Many have said RV2010 was the best event they attended this year. Some have said it was the best event they have ever attended which made me feel really pleased.

I'm up for guest invite, that ace ... the only thing I would say is that jollies are normally smaller in tech than full RV's ... lol ... but then I know how excited you get Steve with lots of systems. My only thoughts are as long as everyone does realise it's not a mega affair then cool ... more a .5 summer jolly.

What has Rob got planned at the moment and what do people going want to see system wise and what games do they want to play? I have 6 essential systems in mind along with the two MAME PC's, which I think are also pretty essential.

Rob has not said yet, all in early stages. I like your idea of mame systems and ... well, Steve, if your coming mate just do what you like really, you the king at this mate! Speak to Rob and .cc me in and we'll see what list happens. I see this growing! lol ...

All we need to do now is confirm the date ...

[Markie]

looks like we have a date then ...

Been busy on the poster for the event ... it's nice being back in the saddle and creating a Llamasoft / RV type poster ... in much the same feel as the others it follows.

As per usual the main idea structure has come together fast with the main elements in place and drawing the plasma backgrounds in beneath the main area txt and graphics. Once those were done the pixels starts to buzz and a new array of shiney top layer Llamasoft types start appearing incuding the the hovermower on the plasma grass and a glowing white Ancipital launching off the llamasoft logo into a cityscape from MamaLlama ... more hours go by ... but it's good fun and after the last 2 years of me either having personal nightmare's or trying to kill myself on motorbikes and really not being in the mood for RV at all ... it's a wonderful feeling being back doing this ... really really looking forward to the event next year.

I'll be coming along to this (for more than a couple of hours this time!). Going to be helping StarshipUK out with systems/TV's by bringing some of the Retro Computer Games Festival gear along. I'm looking forward to it

Is the BBQ going to be catering for us sickly vegetarians?

Crisps? no really ... I have no idea. Feel free to offer advice on the subject. If it's a case of cooking things that look like sausages do you mind having them cooked on the same BBQ as the meat has been cooked? things like that ... or crisps :-)

[StarshipUK]

I am also Vegetarian but there ain't many of us.

Perhaps one of those cheapo disposable barbqs for the Vegetarians would suffice.

And Sainsburys own brand is the BEST vege frozen VegeBurgers IMO.
