You all have badges arranged! I am in transit, but will be in Birmingham Wednesday. Let me know what times everyone arrives so that we can meet up, distribute badges, and discuss demos!

I haven't bought my train ticket yet!

I guess I should arrive early afternoon then...


Just assume I'm always doing that.

Damn it, Ronway!

I would love to meet up around 6 or so. Does anyone know of a good place? If not I will scout one tomorrow.

Well, I don't quite know what we're doing, so I don't know what we need.

If part of the plan involves looking at games, the Arden Suite at the Hilton opens at 7pm on Thursday for pre-con gaming. Not sure how accessible that one is for non-Hilton residents, though.

The bars in the area are all hella awkward, as far as I know. The Wetherspoons in the NEC closes at 6, the one in the airport is after security, the Hilton bar doesn't allow gaming and then there is this outlet retail mall not far away across the lake from the Hilton that has restaurants and some bars and a Starbucks, but I really don't think that is all that convenient either.

We really just need a place to meet up, chat, and distribute badges, so let's try the Hilton bar at 6pm!

Just for info, the open gaming rooms in the Hilton are totally accessible for non-Hilton residents too, they're all just for the expo and not at all related to where you're staying.

Just letting you all know in case you want to move from the bar to there.

I've been stalking this thread for confirmation that Paul will be there, so I will pack my Legacy cosplay and hope I'm brave enough (and warm enough) to wear it on Saturday ^_^

I will not be cosplaying as my avatar because I left my Star Trek mug in the US for safe :(
