Next time I heartily recommend you take the day off, or at least a half day. It was a great night, my only disappointment was not being able to catch Mr. Stern before he did a disappearing act, but it was nice to talk to (corner) Jim at the end with a few other RPS readers and talk semi-coherently on a range of topics so broad I can't really remember any one of them in particular, apart from the bit where Jim said he didn't like Natural Selection and couldn't really give me a reason why. I'm waiting, Jim! “Dear RPS, how about a weekend event for us 9-to-5ers? Sadly my beret bohemianism has fallen by the wayside in recent years, along with the clove cigarettes.

I figured out Kieron based on the recent photographs Tom Fidgit took of him dancing, and the fact he was greeting everyone as they came in, but I spent 5 minutes talking to a John who'd been talking to Jim Rossignol before realising he wasn't John Walker :) Darth: Yeah – that was my biggest problem (recognising everyone).
