Retrovision 2008 - the PIX :-)
Re: Retrovision 2008 - the PIX :-)
An excellent weekend with much fun and chaos. I now need to condense 200-odd photos (and about 30 mins of video) down into something stickable onto the web. A task for the morrow!

Yeah... tired, happy, slightly hoarse (blooming Rock Band
) but I will be processing all the photos taken in due time. I've got a Rock Band video as well but it's a bit dark. Might need to lighten it somehow.
But excellent weekend all round once again... as I think I made mention of on Saturday in my own fucking random way
(still can't believe I did that!)

Just to let everyone know that I have landed safely back in Southend, docked the Tardis and unloaded the payload into the flat... Plugging power and the basics back in to get me main PC running.
It was really great this year... I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to next years one already... I am sure it will be here before we know it! Thanks to everyone who was there and everyone who helped me out with everything.
I am going to get some sleep now... Busy day tomorrow unpacking and plugging everything back in, storing stuff and packing to go to San Francisco on Tuesday.
Thanks,
Steve.
Tip of the day - If you are going to program your PVR to record TV, it is a good idea to plug it into mains power
(Yes, I forgot I had unplugged everything to bring my Power Extension Thingys with me).

Quick post ...
What an amazing show ... what amazing people ... YakYakers and invited fun folk made this the best RV I've ever done, it was just unreal. The Folly is not the biggest venue we've had by far, especially when you compare it to the Frome events but for some reason it worked! and in a amazing way.
After everyone left yesturday (Sunday) I cleaned up the room and joined Beerman at the bar ... eventually leaving at around 2am this morning is a state not far of 100% liquid.
So ... I'll be saving my full feedback for laters as a delicate Markie I am right now.
My thanks to all, especially my team for all the effort ... together we made a buzz ... unlike any other!
Respect!
Markie

Safely home and now chilling with some food and coffee.
Another excellent RV, especially since the weather decided to treat us as well. My GF had a great time beating me at bomberman and discovering what it is i do with my spare time.
Thanks to everyone who came along!
