Time for my review!
It took us 4 hours to get there because we got stuck in some STUPID roadworks at Angel which held us up for an hour, then we didn't quite take the fastest route... Oh for Sat-Nav!
We parked up, took a lift the 18 inches to the exit... we thought the lift was rather smooth, on the way back we realised why...
We queued for ages to get in, but Insane Lampshade came out to keep us company. He was actually looking for DDR Matt I think, but he arrived later. Lampshade was a bit chilly. With hind site, I think he'd have prefered a hot cup of soup to the cold fish sandwich we offered him!
The event was rayburn - badly organised, not much there to see or do, and just a bit LAME. But there were some really great people there, so we hung out, laughed at some of the cosplays, went "Ooooh thats cool!" at some of the others and had a good time between the boring bits!

Lampshade and friends did a dance - this a still from the video... try to imagine that Fatboy Slimvideo but without the music... I'll mix the video and publish it, or let Lamshade mix it - it'll be on YouTube one way or another!
