Still so much to do before the big day! Gotta pick up my SonicLondon leaflets from the printers (which Svend helped me out with. Big time!), finish my conbadge commissions, tidy house before Hannah comes and get hair done for my Helen Cartwright cosplay <3
Just in case people here didnt subscribe to the facebook page for the pre-party; we changed the pricing for it. It's now £15 with open bar and free food : ) Also my partner in crime, Ben made a neat little promo video showing what Jetlags venue is like :3 (note the shots mentioned in the video will be those from drunken moogle - so all credit goes to them for those)
Jenny, seeing Miles pop up at the end of that video still cracks me up every time. SIX DAYS TO GO EVERYONE. HOSHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIII-
The only folks I'll vaguely know of is Nova and Overlord. But heck, convince me on the day and I'll stop lurking around here as much. Regardless, I'm coming along on the Saturday. I didn't book anywhere, and won't be about for the Sunday / After party antics. I'll most likely vanish into the City later in the afternoon as I rarely visit London as it is. Hope to meet and greet some of you this year though. Fyi, I believe I'll be wearing a Cookie Monster Hoodie, so it shouldn't be difficult to find myself. :P
This was posted on the SoS website a couple of days ago so you may have seen it already, but I figured I'd post it here anyway just in case: http://www.summerofsonic.com/news/sonicteamqanda Could be a nice opportunity ask some good questions; I'm sure you guys could think of some interesting things to ask about
For anyone who's looking for some short-notice accommodation, Nik and myself will be staying at The Walrus, Waterloo. It's not exactly the closest to the event but it is very close to the Namco Station which will be helpful to anyone planning to attend the Barcade on Sunday. It also has good tube links and allows a very short trip to reach the Northern Line which is suffering no closures this weekend and will most likely be the best line for anyone attending. I am so excited now, I can barely contain it. For clarification, who's going to the pre-party on Friday? I totally forgot I'm going and now remember that there's some serious drinking to be done at the end of the week! :P
Well, unfortunately I'm on duty on Friday so can't do any of the pre-party business, but all things being well I've got the weekend itself off. Still trying to sort out times etc., though
Travelling to London tomorrow. Will be at the party on Friday but meeting a friend on Sunday won't be around. Also, if anyone wants to pick up one or two of these 1-inch badges on Saturday, they're 20p each: Will also have sone A3 prints of this page going for £2: http://www.stconline.co.uk/250/250/strip1_26.html
I'm going to be bringing my 3DS along with the usual games (SSF4 3D, Sonic Rush/Rush Adventures/Colours, Pokemon D&P/Plt/HG&SS/B&W, and for shits and giggles, Mario Kart/Party/NSMB etc.). I'll also be bringing my NeoGeo Pocket Colour with Sonic Pocket Adventure if anyone is interested in having a game with me (I don't have a link cable however; if you have one then brilliant). Depending on what's going on Saturday and/or Sunday (during Nova's post-SoS Retro UK Barcade Run), let's have another NDS/3DS session with the usual games =P
Who was (and still) at Summer of Sonic was able to watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLJOzTiw0aE
