UK meetups: anyone going to London Expo in May?

**SilverSwift** · Joined: 09 Mar 2007 Posts: 2057

In the way of Rock Band, what are people taking? I can probably contribute somewhat, I've got a gum-rubber drumkit which I could potentially take apart and bring...if it fits in a bag. Will need to test that. Though I'd imagine Bob is probably bringing a ton of stuff down? I've also got a pretty poor Strat that I can bring. =P

Edit: List of stuff I can bring if needed...

-RB drumset (maybe)
-RB mic
-RB Strat
-GH1/2/80's/3 for PS2
-PS2 itself
-SG

Edit 2: Would that be Barnstaple train station, BB?

Edit 3: This is unreal. It's a train journey of over 5 hours each way, and costing in the region of £70, for an overnight stay. Not sure I'll be able to manage that, it's a hell of a long way.

That's kinda what was making me hold back - it's a bloody long way, even from London. If I book the tickets now, I can do it for £32 so cost isn't so much of an issue. Whether or not those tickets will be available by the time I know whether or not I'm free, I guess that's a different matter.

Actually, thinking about it, I'd have to buy a new railcard, so there's another £20 on top of that. Starting to look a bit expensive now then.

Anyway. What's this here thing in November, my dear Mike?

Swifty:
Yup Barnstaple train station and money is nothing compared to having a good time with mates playing the games we love so much

I've got gum padded drums.
I've got a strat.
Got a mic.
Got a ps2 (though if your PS2 is customs then you can bring it)

People can bring sg's with them mine suck.

By the way its 5-6 places excluding myself, so there can be about 6-7 of us.

Please Check the gaming area thread, have a look at mine and have a look at what I go: http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1091964#1091964

But in all honestly all I need over here is:
2 les pauls
2 Sg's (if people want to play on the ps2)
A customs PS2 (if you someone wanted to bring one)
and Bob's hard drive of DLC goodness

About that i35 thing... just realised, that's a definite no. It's the same day that Fallout 3 is released so I'll be in my room, refusing to be disturbed. :P

No worries on the lift man, we'll arrange it through PM.

Swift - Yeh I probably will end up bringing an unholy amount of stuff so you should be all good. Really hope you can make it down mate, if money's tight we could always start a collection

BB - Guessing you were counting me as confirmed already right

Stuff I can/will bring;

360 with all DLC
RB2 (fingers crossed, come on UPS!)
Strat (switched solo buttons and fixed strummer)
Les Pauls/Xplorer
Drums (they miss alot

)
Spare sticks
Mics
Mic stand?
The little TFT screen from last time
Slim PS2 (w. swap magic, got no custom discs though)
Kramer and RO wireless if I can find it.

I'm happy to chuck it all in to save anyone hassle trying to cart stuff on trains ect. Let me know.

Looks like it should be good and I will mostly be trying to avoid emarresment by not doing any score duels and getting beaten silly

It turns out I can do London to Portsmouth and back for a tenner, so thanks to Bob and his offer of a lift, I shall be joining you.

I can bring a camera for documentation of lulz in photo and video form, I could also bring along Beautiful Katamari for a different kind of madness if anyone's interested, the demo was entertaining on a bleary-eyed Sunday at the last mini meet. Also I've got a Les Paul (the Aerosmith variety) that I can cart along if need be. I promise it's better than the one I brought to the last meet :P

I'll also be joining Bob in the 'avoiding embarrassment' thing, unless he and I decide to test out the theory that we're scarily similar in ability.

Oh yeah... what's the score with booze?

Camera sounds good.

haha i'm sure you and Bob can play a few games against each other then! lol

Theres quite a bit of booze here, you can have some but not in big quantities. I don't particuarly want to deal with drunk people.
