Small notes from the big bash
« on: March 14, 2004, 01:38:31 PM »
Here (in no specific order) are my experiences of the Big Bash in short form:-

*Most people got lost on the ring road getting there (Peterborough is not the best laid out or sign posted city) and we were no exception

* We finally arrived a bit late, managing to locate the place by spotting Jurassic Camper’s, erm Jurassic camper :-)

* The_Editor managed to blow up EditChick’s PC with his card yanking exploits.

* EditChick put on a huge and delicious spread, which was perfect because we were starving by the time all the glitches were sorted

* Didn’t see a single crash on any of the A1 systems despite everything that was going on, stability has definitely improved

* Ryu brought along a CD32 for a bit of retro-gaming action

* MikeyMike was the undisputed Speedball 2 champion (although he had to retire early to catch the last train back home)

* Finally got to meet the great Rudei :-) , no fat horses though :-(

* Bar was cheap, very cheap.  It was clear that Bobson had discovered this not long after he arrived :-)

* Mrs Uncharted kindly offered to buy everyone drinks, then asked me for the money :-/

* Linchpin’s car broke down halfway to the show, after much faffing about with the AA, Linch limped home and the rest of the welsh contingent  started out again in MikeAmiga’s (ED-209) car.

* Didn’t get to see Linchy :-(

* Some guy with a really cute Husky puppy won the MicroA1.

* Mrs Uncharted was unimpressed with both Macmiga’s Mac collection (“why would you want 16 of them?”) and also the MicroA1 board (“why are you getting excited over it? it’s tiny”)

* Many many embarrassing pictures of Slackbladder were taken :-D

* MikeAmiga (ED-209) is still the maddest person ever :-)

* Total Amiga 17 was there to buy and is great :-)

* The food was good and the drinks cheap (did I mention that already?)

* Got to play on a couple of AmigaOnes, OS 4 just gets better and better. (I WANT ONE!)

* The due to the glitches, the music was erm...er...yeah. :-p
 
* Good to see everyone again :-)

How many people attended?


This might sound really strange, but I really have no clue. I was occupied the whole time and didn't bother to count, I couldn't even give you an estimate.  Perhaps one of the people who organised it could give numbers.
