BRITTENS 05 NEW DETAILS

[Meowster]

GREAT NEWS EVERYBODY, I've arranged a trip to Thorpe Park...

[Adamski]

Do we have to go in torrential rain again?

[Pumaman]

It wouldn't be Brittens without a downpour or twoÃ, 

[m0ds]

Apparently there's a heatwave coming, the Government are even publishing a leaflet on "how to stay cool".

Naturally the answer is to be CJ, but thats beside the point...

[Ashen]

Is anyone else going that hasn't been (to anything) before? I really want to go this year, but not if I'm going to be the only one that doesn't know anyone.

Also - which dates have been settled on?

I haven't been to a Brittens or a Mittens before, but I have been to the Gilbofest, last weekend.  It owned.
No.
It Pwned.

I'd suggest visiting the IRC room #ags for a while, to get to know the attendees first, tho.
It makes the actual meeting far more exciting.

For example, I met the Godfather of Adventure Games, Ron Gilbert, but I was far more stoked about meeting the other AGSers.  When CJ arrived, I almost soiled myself.

[edmundito]

And then guys made out, apparently. CJ is just that kind of guy...

[strazer]

I've also never been there before, so I'll be spending some time in #ags soon.
I would be happy to meet you, Ashen.

[Renal Shutdown]

Apparently, Ashen was up for or won the Best n00b Forego.  I can't wait to meet him.

[Ashen]

What the hell, I'm in. Looking forward to meeting you guys, too.
I was nominated for best n00b, but lost out to strazer - no dishonour there, only a little surprise, as I hadn't realised how 'new' a member he was.

Also - which dates have been settled on?

Nevermind, re-read the first post. 1st - 4th would've been my preference anyway.

See you in July. (And #ags before then, probably)

[m0ds]

Aye, don't be shy! You'll know everyone after the first hour or two!

[Meowster]

I'll look after the newbies, don't worry

The answer to staying cool is to be around me.

Or to wear summery clothes.

Like Iqu, I was excited to meet other AGSers and when I think of Gilbertfest, I think more of the AGS'ers I met than I do of Ron.

Weird.

There is no point in being shy as you have paid for your flights so it would be pointless to get there and say nothing.

[edmundito]

LEET?!


Looks like those SMF people are jokers, or maybe it was that Pumaman guy's idea...

[Haddas]

1st - 4th of july will be perfect. I'll miss my sisters confirmation, my mums 45th birthday and free cake.

[Miez]

So, Marky - you still have a free car seat? I'll be dropping into Luton International Port of the Air, and I could do with a ride... 

[m0ds]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! MAXIMUM YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

I certainly do, Mr Art!

Glad you can make it

Yeah, any lone newcomers are forced to endure an initiation ritual involving a cat-o-nine-tails, some velcro and a box of eggs.

I'd suggest visiting the IRC room #ags for a while, to get to know the attendees first, tho.

Oh I dunno, I hadn't visited #ags in ages before Gilbertfest, and it made meeting you guys all the more interesting 

Like Iqu, I was excited to meet other AGSers and when I think of Gilbertfest, I think more of the AGS'ers I met than I do of Ron.
Weird.

Don't worry, that's perfectly normal -- I'm thinking of AGA all the time, too.

Looks like those SMF people are jokers, or maybe it was that Pumaman guy's idea...

Heh yeah that's an SMF easter egg; a bit lame if you ask me, but I couldn't be bothered to take it out.

[Renal Shutdown]

I'm thinking of AGA all the time, too.

You heartless b*st*rd.  No saix for you tonight.

[Meowster]

Oh, it wasn't AGA I was thinking about...   8)

[AGA]

Yeah yeah. Your life became better the day you met me, and you know it.
