AdventureX 2013

[magintz]

Is it looking like it'll be about the same time of year? I should be back in London by mid November, and am keen to come along.

Hi Gary...Most likely Dec 6 + 7th yup. Good to know you'll perhaps be around for it!

Most likely Dec 6 + 7th yup.

Since Dec 8 is a public holiday here, chances are good that I will be able to come!

[Miez]

I'm going to make sure to be there as well... about time I visited some AdventureX

[CaptainD]

Should have something to show this year... so definitely should be there.

[Grundislav]

I think I might just be there this year as well!

[m0ds]

Great stuff, thanks for the positives guys and gals!

[Dave Gilbert]

Bit late to this discussion, but I will definitely be there as usual! Any idea on when you'll know the location? I'd like to try and organize my plans early this year.

[m0ds]

Thanks Dave. The details will be locked down by the end of next week at the latest, the likely candidate is 6+7 Dec and in a Southbank Uni building nr. Elephant and Castle. I'll make a new thread by the end of next week and the website will be up (if all goes to plan) 1st Sept. I realize yourself and others have hotel arrangements to consider. Sorry for the delay, hope you can hold out just to the near end of the month

Really looking forward to this, will definitely be there this year!

[Andail]

Wish I could say that I'll certainly be there, but if everything goes according to plans I'll be the father of a month old baby, so maybe the timing isn't excellent.

[ddq]

Had an amazing time last time, will try my darnedest to make it back this year.

[m0ds]

Neato Please do say if you intend to exhibit a game as it'd be useful to know. Also if any members have any burning talk topics again raise them here. Oh, and any special guest ideas?

[Technocrat]

I intend to make sure to shove Technobabylon in everyone's face this time around!

Any news? Flights are getting more expensive already. If I don't book soon, I guess I won't make it.

[m0ds]

Yep, 6+7 Dec @ Keyworth center is very very likely. Our host is just double checking the space can be ours on 6+7, hopefully I'll have the confirmation by today or tomorrow. As for the space itself, it seems very suitable for the show. I had a look around and was pretty impressed.

There's even a second building opposite the Keyworth that is a backup facility, though it's a little bit more clinical and ugly than Keyworth. But Keyworth has a large foyer, an upper pair of balconies, a large theatre, two large rooms (like the talks room at previous events) and a possible cafe though not sure they will open it on that weekend. And if we really needed them about 100 classrooms on higher floors... That said, there's cafe's and bars 5 mins from the site. And it only takes 5 mins from the tube, if that - if you take the right exit from the tube I took the wrong exit so it took 10 minutes to reach (one exit puts you on the other side of a huge roundabout). Apparently there are signs in the Tube saying "Southbank Uni exit" but I didn't see them.

I intend to get a first website up this weekend or early next week. Same for an official thread here.

[Miez]

Sweet!

If it's the Elephant & Castle roundabout, I spent hours navigating that damn thing when I stayed at CJ's place during AdvX 2012.

It's almost an adventure game on its own. 

[AGA]

Haha, Elephant roundabout is a nightmare if you don't know the area.  We'll definitely need to make it clear on all the information which exits, crossings, etc to take to get to the venue.

[Blount]

I'm really looking forward to it!!!
