Just a quick post to say thanks to Chris and Mark for organising the event. We had a great time and the concert was great

Thanks also to the musicians who obviously had as good a time as the audience.

And finally, thanks to the people I met and talked to. It was good finally meeting and seeing so many people that I have either heard about or briefly talked to on IRC. Apologies to those that I didn't talk to as I am a reasonably shy guy and didn't know where to start a conversation. Case in point - *how* do you say anything to Rob Hubbard apart from "you and maybe one or two other guys are the reason i'm here"

Apologies for rambling and talking bollocks in the pub on Friday

I hope to see (and talk more) to you guys next time!

And yes - seeing Jon Hare playing Cannon Fodder on the PSP was definitely a highlight

I had exactly that problem, so I tried "Hi Rob - you don't know me. Pint?"

"Stella, please!"

And then we had a smashing chat, trading freelancer war-stories. Fucking top bloke and approachable as anything.

Amazing how effective "Pint?" is

I think I'll try that next time

Should we make "Pint" the universal greeting ?

Silly moments...

* Diving off onto the bed, only to bounce off it and onto the floor *

* Being introduced to Matt Cannon and saying "Didn't you do Cannon Fodder". No idea why i said that!

*

* taking a photo of trooper in the loo *

* Dan having his photo taken with Mr Hubbard with his tongue out*

* Getting Mr Hubbard very drunk *

* Giving a complete stranger a great big hug *

* Going the wrong direction for 2 miles before realising *

I'm sure there's many more...

I didn't, I got him to sign the inlay on both copies of the CD I bought at that very place in the booklet

Tim Follin on the back and Rob Hubbard in the middle - excellent!
