Neither. I suspect most of the time will be spent dribbling.

Meowster

Well, I for one intend to have a highly intellectual and interesting discussion with him. And afterwards can we go to the park and feed the squirrels?

Hi people!  Remember me?  Of course you do, because I'm that awesome.  Anyway, I know I've not been particularly active in the community in recent times, but this sounds like a most funky event!  Would I be welcome, fellows?

Meowster

YES!!! Most definitely!

And somebody locate M0ds.

Seriously though, are we going to make good use of this time and actually have an insightful discussion about game development? Rather than discuss the secret of Monkey Island?

BORING.

Anyone who wants to come to Oklahoma can meet me, though.
Once I killed a man. His name was Mario, I think. His brother Luigi was upset at first, but adamant to continue on the adventure that they started together.

In case anyone missed it while the forums were down, arrangements have been posted on Ron's site:
http://grumpygamer.com

"The final location for the London meet-up is The Volunteer at 247 Baker street at 2pm on Sunday, May 8th."

Am here, Yufster! :D Ron Gilbert @ the Volunteer! It is year of the volunteer so PERHAPS we can persuade him to take up AGS as a hobby...!! Yay, it's a kind of Mittens in its own right! I'll be going, and maybe take the FoY demo for him if YOke comes back in time! Not sure if I'll go in by train or car but cars in London are never a good idea.. :/ I'll probably have work the next day but if not, I'll see if I can find a party, I mean floorspace with someone who's there. Or just go home. :D Up for talking adventure game development with him! Or just listening, satisfying enough sometimes :D

My floorspace is currently gearing up for the aftermath of Gilbofest.  Aggie, Custard, Scotch and Yuffie are all confirmed crashers.  You're welcome, too, m0ds.

Oh, my, GOD!

I can bring all my Westlife CDs!

And my posters of Mickey Joe Heart!

Then I can put make up on you and do your hair in quiffs.

It'll be like, a sleepover!

Then I can take pictures.

And we can talk about Boys.

OMG.

(PS. Mickey Joe Heart won the Pop Idol! And he was Ireland Eurovision Entry! He's so dreamy. He plays a shamrock green guitar and stuff)

Scummbuddy

Think you guys can get him to sign my four copies of MI1 for me?

I'm so freakin' jealous. Netmonkey and I are normally a whole lot closer to him than you all are. I'm inviting him to my house for milk, cookies, and Mittens 08.
- Oh great, I'm stuck in colonial times, tentacles are taking over the world, and now the toilets backing up.
- No, I mean it's really STUCK. Like adventure-game stuck.

This might pose a problem.Ã,  You might need to butcher your Barbie Hair Studio Deluxe to pull it off.

Unless you're talking about pubic topiary.

..Which might also pose a problem.

And Scummie, I'd be happy to do it if had spares..
..or room in my hand bag for more than my old Kixx hard box copy of it.
