Replay 2011 Eyeballing?

edited September 2011 in Chit chat
Replay 2011 seems like a great opportunity to meet fellow spec-chums but I really don't know what anyone looks like. Rather than request mug-shots of everyone, maybe we should all wear something that identifies us as WoSers.

That's as far as I've got with the concept. Maybe someone else can suggest a workable implementation.

Badges, hats, T-shirts? How do we find each other?

    they usually provide blank name badges.

    honestly though, you should be ok

    binman will either wear a kilt or leather trousers. so that will be easy to spot.

    also i think winston will have his spectranet thing set up so look for that.

    there is a pic of us all from the one is sheffield somewhere.

    I just realized that if this site was called "Land of Spectrum", we would be called "LoSers". :O

    Well past shows i've been to you never had badges so that was a weird experience, going up to some strange bloke saying 'are you 'wibblywob' from the retro forum ?' kinda thing ! Often you might be at the bar not knowing the person next to you is who you've been chatting with for years on WOS etc.

    Last year Winston had a stand so it was an easy meeting point for WOSsers but this year there'll be name badges. You'll spend a fair bit of time looking at peoples nicknames on their badges and its a very weird experience meeting someone after chatting to them online for so long. You'll meet a top bunch of people though, last years show was excellent and this years seems to be double the size. Theres a nice little chippy over the road as well for lunch as the food inside the hotel is expensive/takes a fair while.

    You may spot me from my "epic beard" (as Mile calls it).

    lol, but maybe he shouldn't go up to men with beards asking them if they are 'Mr Cheese'

    EDIT: I was hoping to get up to Replay this year, but it's not looking so doable now. We'll see, eh?

    I posted my pic on WOS once (as my avatar), but this time I don't feel like doing it again because 1-I can't go to Replay 2011 and 2-Philip Kendall made fun of me the last time I did. :(

    :D

    You think I'm joking? You think I'm being sarcastic? Doesn't everyone else see that Mile is just so good looking?? Shouldn't you be older? When's your next single coming out, or has Simon Cowell dropped you already? :D

    We've already got one - see above!

    It's not going too well, is this, heh. When I said you were almost gone, I was referring to your apparent level of intoxication! Your eyes look a bit glazed there, don't they? It's interesting that Mile is the only one holding a bottle of water and an orange juice (I think) and he looks the most alert. Maybe that's also the reason why he's just so good looking! :D

    But psj is right; after a screwed up post where I seemed to be slagging people's looks, I am obliged to post a picture of me, so I will, but not now because I'm at work :) You will get your chance to slag me back tomorrow!

    I think Mile has just earned himself a stalker, Spector is obsessed with him!:lol:
