The official date for RV2007 has now been set. This being May 11th to 13th 2007 in Oxford at the Port Mahon on St.Clements.

Although it is still early days I am already working towards the gig ... much to prepare!

This gig is not open to the general public ... it is an extention of the Llamasoft Jolly.

If you will allow me I would like to keep this thread updated as news comes about and looking forward to a rather fab session next year.

Markie

ps: I already have several copies of Blitz Basic to give away ;-) How good am I! /runs for door ....

There's a travel fund to help with that, dunno if it extends to non-llamasofties though.

What would one have to do to become a member? i'm thinking that I'd constitute "general public", but I'd be curious to see what goes on at an event like this...

Drinking.
Games.
Multiplayer games on projectors.
Drinking.
Hugging.
Rude Pictochat sessions.
Raffles with Blitz Basic as one of the prizes.
Curry.
Drinking.
Hugging.
Pink Faerie armed with a marker pen.
Drinking.
Madness.
Lewdness.
Drinking.

There's very little on Earth that can recreate the camaraderie, the jollity and the SMELL of so many geeks/nerds/gamers in such a small area ;)

So if you'd like to spend the weekend in a pub with lots of people of varying degrees of madness, join in...

you mention the drinking and gaming and drinking and hugging and drinking and raffles and drinking and multiplaying and drinking ... but you forgot the chatting to other retro freaks about everything 80's (and Futurama .. Hi Bog)

And the huge stack of DSes on a table... if one goes flat while you're playing, put it on the "Dead" pile and grab one from the "charged" pile...

(Amazingly, yes, everyone did get the right DS back intact, if drained)

We will soon have to put a limit on tickets for RV this year ... so if you are coming along now is the time to let us know :-)

It's shaping up to be another rather cool game / drinkies / prizes / fun thing as usual with myself in Green and Kenz in sparkly Space Invaders jumper! YAY ... :-)
