same here for wanting the news earlier.

i've got jack all to do this weekend, if you had told me like 3 weeks earlier, i'd have hired a car and went.

Celeb is Gemma Atkinson according to the site, and she is there to promote RA3

yakyb · 7th Aug 2008, 14:26

Fancy a quick detour through County Durham?

Omnituens · 7th Aug 2008, 15:54

I'm already there

I'm camping out at seat Q-16 now :P (im in V-12, join us for TF2age!)

kenco_uk · 7th Aug 2008, 16:13

I think I know why you picked Q16

For someone paying on the door and travelling an hour and a half each way, is it a good event?

Omnituens · 7th Aug 2008, 16:18

I used to travel 3 hours to the old venue, well worth it. It'd better if you actually play more than 1 game though (don't just play 1 game all event, you WILL find it poor)

free games like Armagetron and bontago cheesecake!

Well I'm going to the M Festival tommorrow, but I don't have a festival pass, so no goodies for me.
Will I be able to tell who's from BT, if your all walking around?
