To be honest, I'd prefer London simply as there'll be more to do & it means almost all of us have done some of our journey home already that morning =P Though we'd better all be on the same train up there if we do! =)

London sounds good to me (lol of course it does).
I know people are going to hotels on the Friday, but what time are people meeting up on Saturday? As I'll try to get the super-early train and meet you all there at that time.

To those who failed to catch a SoS'12 ticket during the three waves, you've got one more chance TODAY.

Jen and I are all for this Sunday Barcade run to take place in London. So the majority vote goes to London it seems. Assuming most (if not all) of you haven't gotten a train ticket to go from Brighton to London just yet, we could all group up on Sunday morning and get on the train to London. We just need to pick a time. There's a train service that's been suggested to ease the burden of spending too much on a train ticket.
According to the Summer of Sonic site, if you're going to Brighton from London and vice-versa, they've suggested to take the Southern Railway service going from London Victoria to Brighton and vice-versa. They run every 20-40mins and are dirt cheap (especially with the online discount). Here's what I've searched up so far for our Sunday event.

It's a good idea seeing as the London Victoria Train Station isn't very far from where we normally meet up whenever we have a Barcade run. Failing that, pick a time when we could meet up at the usual meeting spot in London.

I think we'd be better off riding the train together - we should meet up at the station (or possibly elsewhere, but the station is a point everyone would pass through) and aim to get on a certain train, that sounds like the best plan. We can then meet the ones not coming from Brighton at the usual point at a set time.

If we're gonna meet anyone who's not coming from Brighton at the usual spot in London on Sunday, maybe we ought to look at getting the train that leaves Brighton at 10:40, so we can get to London just before the usual meeting time of 12:00. This also means we'd have time in the morning to get a coffee or something before we leave (and have breakfast - dunno about anyone else but Orenge and I have booked breakfast at the hotel so it'd be nice to have the time to get it rather than rushing around really early in the morning).
What do you guys think? I'd really like to get these tickets booked this weekend if possible just in case the prices go up

Speaking of meet-up times, what about us not staying overnight in a hotel in Brighton? What time are people meeting up to begin le queuing on Saturday?

Going to be extremely annoying here and say that I can't make London - don't change your plans or anything, though, I'm skint anyway. I'll still be at SoS, though. =P

Sorry for the double-post, but I've been looking on the Summer of Sonic website today, and we're getting the opportunity to submit questions to Steve Lycett and Takashi Iizuka: http://www.summerofs...nd-sumo-digital (I know it's old but I've only just spotted it ;P).
Guys, can we think of any good questions for them? Most of the questions on there at the minute are the same shit again and again, "WE WANT SA3", "WE WANNA PLAY AS SONIC'S FRIENDS" etc, surely we can do better than that!
I remember this really old, interesting topic on here about SA2's development and I've put down a couple of questions for Iizuka based on that because it'd be seriously awesome if he can shed any light on anything as it's something we know very little about: basically I asked what major changes the game went through that he might remember (using the examples of the alleged branching paths and the famous "submarine" example of this, as well as the fact that only 3 playable characters were shown at first). I also asked him how Shadow changed during development and whether the whole "concept art of a 'Dark Sonic' with missing limbs/missing eye and a creature made up of eyeballs" thing has any truth whatsoever as far as he remembers. It's worth a shot - I mean, when I submitted THAT question to Yuji Naka about the Sonic concept art last year, I didn't think we'd get anything from it (how wrong I was) =P
I'm trying to think of some good questions about Sonic Adventure 1 but I don't know where to start really.
