Next time I get to the UK - haha - I'll have to arrange travel dates around one show like Salute!  ;)  - gaming wise there's just nothing like this here in NZ  :( (or Oz I think - never been to Cancon so don't know what that's like).

Come to Edinburgh in early August some year, bring the family and do SESWC's Claymore (1st Saturday in August) and then the Edinburgh Festival and Fringe. Gaming and culture in one package, how could you resist? I'll book a restaurant table :)

The weather will be nicer too!

No such thing as bad weather Jim, only inappropriate clothing ... or so one of my more outdoors-y friends keeps telling me :)

Well in that case I am heading to where a pair of swimming shorts and a sunhat ARE appropriate clothing.

Just can't wait.

As Billy Connolly once said, if you don't like the weather in Scotland, wait 15 minutes and it will change. I always found it strange that he never actually said what it would change into.

I thought the lighting was much improved this year. looks like the lighting has been upgraded with LED's.

The lighting got noticeably brighter while we were unpacking on the Friday afternoon, so they've either got new lights or someone put an extra 20p in the meter...

Sounds like a plan......off to buy a Lotto ticket now  :)

I'd go back to the place you took us to last time....it was rather good.

This was my second visit to Salute, and I enjoyed it very much. Hoping to post some videos of the demo games soon. This year I bought only those shiny things I absolutely need. Honest.

Cheers,

That looks a nice shopping basket's worth, Aksu.

Look forward to the videos.  :)

It's funny because it's bloody well true  ;D

It probably didn't help helped a lot that I had consumed the equivalent of a bottle of red wine before viewing this, but I found this video record of the show slightly mind blowing (courtesy of the Von Peter Himself blog). You'll need about half an hour free time to view this.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
