Evening Event: At around 7pm we will be starting the evening entertainment - "An evening with Jeff, Giles and Dokk".
  • * The first part of the evening will be a sneek peak view of "Heart of Neon", the feature length documentary about Jeff directed by Paul Docherty (Dokk).
    * Following the show will be a Q/A with Jeff Minter and Giles - hosted by Paul.
    * EXCLUSIVE : Jeff and Giles will perform a full blown VLM show!
I'm looking forward to that. I should make it if everything goes to plan.
Don't forget to say "Hello I am Whiteball" because even if we met (?) before I don't think I'll ever remember your face/real name :)
Was really good to see you guys at the show and say hello.

It was a good morning, but unfortunately I never made it to the part I was most looking forward to - The Neon preview/chat/QA and then the VLM stuff.
While we was listening to the Graftgold guys around midday my brother was taken ill and we sadly had to leave early. Obviously health and well being comes before anything else and thankfully he seems fine now.

Nevermind, off to play some Vic-20 Hellgate at 50% speed now (I'm getting old).

Oh wow, it was your brother I saw on the floor during the presentation? I hope he's okay now.

Yeah, seems fine now but he's got to go see the doctor for a double check to be sure.

Thanks, nice to see it got much busier later on, would have been nice to have spent the day but nevermind.
He got to speak with Andrew Braybrook which is something I was hoping to do too (well say hello anyway).
I'm sure there was plenty of others around as well it would have been nice to have bumped into but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Unfortunatley nothing really much in that video of Heart of Neon or the Q/A session but maybe someone else on youtube has something, off to have a look now.

Possibly the QA, but obviously nothing on the documentary, given it's looking for distribution.

The documentary CANNOT be shown yet, that was a fully 'behind closed doors no filming allowed' event.

DR00K is still sorting out things plus I suspect there may be 'some further editing' after the ( much ? ) feedback he received.

Ok, shame I couldn't stay to see it then.
Never mind, like I said above there are more important things that will always come first.

Heads up for anyone wanting the PC version of this currently on Steam for £14.99.

I picked up the Switch version but will be double dipping as I have a arcade stick on the PC and these games need to be played with a stick Joycons do not cut it!
