Hey, I like doing stuff!
Looking forward to it very much. :)
Train ticket booked. Will arrive around 4 on Thursday.
Which stand number will you be at please?
>G isn't listed in the Exhibitors in the program
I don't have a number, but unless anything major has changed, >G should be with Eclectic Games.
Is there any new information? Did I miss anything? Getting really antsy here...
Thanks :) Eclectic Games is E43 so I'll be marking that on my map now :D
Two days to go. Still no idea where or when i'm supposed to be demoing whatever it is I'm supposed to demo. No idea if there's even a badge for me and under what name it's reserved. I am moving out of anxious towards angry. I really do expect better from a professional outfit.
I am actually half-expecting that we will get some form of update today.
Prediction is based on 70% good faith and 30% on "Well, it might be two weeks late but yesterday was Memorial Day and today it's not even 10am yet."
Julia,
I hope so. But as you said: two weeks late.
Consider me worried at this point.
x.com - that's an update, I guess?
Oooh, an implied vital sign!
You all have badges arranged! I am in transit, but will be in Birmingham Wednesday. Let me know what times everyone arrives so that we can meet up, distribute badges, and discuss demos!
Well, I, for one, am going to roll in shortly before noon on Thursday.
Arriving about 4 on Thursday.
I haven't bought my train ticket yet!
I guess I should arrive early afternoon then...
I would love to meet up around 6 or so. Does anyone know of a good place? If not I will scout one tomorrow.
Well, I don't quite know what we're doing, so I don't know what we need.
If part of the plan involves looking at games, the Arden Suite at the Hilton opens at 7pm on Thursday for pre-con gaming. Not sure how accessible that one is for non-Hilton residents, though.
The bars in the area are all hella awkward, as far as I know. The Wetherspoons in the NEC closes at 6, the one in the airport is after security, the Hilton bar doesn't allow gaming and then there is this outlet retail mall not far away across the lake from the Hilton that has restaurants and some bars and a Starbucks, but I really don't think that is all that convenient either.
We really just need a place to meet up, chat, and distribute badges, so let's try the Hilton bar at 6pm!
6pm at The Lounge it is!
Cool, I'll message you guys my phone number.
