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

[juice]

Next year...next year I'll be back, even if it's only for a day and to boost the "beard and laser" quotient

Mmm. Only if we can use the laser to burn off the beards

As usual, I'll be doing a little write up of the event for Retro Gamer, thus my usual polite request for a few pictures to use. Any links and permission gratefully received Oh and apologies for being vain, but did anyone take a photo of me and my dad dressed up as Professor Layton and Luke? My kids are demanding to see one :s

My photos are all on Facebook:
Friday - http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 2e910babd6
Saturday - http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 920120c5ce

There's a couple of you and your dad on there - as well as pictures of you both on Muscle March
Let me know if you want any of the originals for the article

Also, a few bits of info if anyone can help...

Auction - amy, you are an excellent auctioneer! I just wondered if you knew how much it raised AND i thought I'd mention a few of the more unusual lots - any suggestions? I thought the Back in Time Tshirt signed by Richard Joseph was sweet and then there was some weird hardware... PS2 Test model wasn't it?

Markie or Amy will probably be able to give a more accurate figure, but I think non-auction donations were around the £400 mark and the grand total was just over £1200, implying that the auction total was around £800.

As for unusual stuff... over in the Auction thread, there's a link to a document with most of the auction items on; a lot of stuff was added on the day (hence why Amy spent a lot of time typing furiously into her macbook ), but I think it covers most of the "big" items.

Again, a wonderful do and well done and thanks to all who made it happen.

Aye, cheers to all!

And I failed to collect your face in my demonic image-capturing box. I'll get you next time

Probably for the best, I seem to be wearing my RV grin in most of the pics You did capture me though...

Loving the beginning of that vid, captures the ambience very nicely! Mayhem did come quite close to wearing those taiko controllers, though he may never know it...

I'd never seen a BBC Master Compact before. I thought someone had amputated half a Beeb

Has anyone seen/found my Minotaur trophy? I seemed to have lost it. I thought I had left it at the hotel by mistake but they have informed me that it isn't there I hope someone has found it at the venue. Please let me know.

Vinny.
