Great as usual
Although it was a week late, it made up for it in the content! (nothing of course to do with it having my physics engine in!)

In the UK, we put the clocks back 1 hour, not 1 week

It couldn't arrive any sooner if I tried. You wouldn't believe how many people put a great deal of effort in to putting this thing together. As tough as it is for me to consolidate everything, others have to generate the news first.

Great newsletter, and it was cool recapping the convention. Although nothing beats seeing the presentations in person at least everyone else can read about them. Thanks for the mention


Come see the WIP!

There are so many images to accompany the presentations that it would be a little overkill to add a rogue's gallery too. There are some in the Convention thread.

Submissions are always welcome. The guidelines are here.

No, that's the deadline to get content into the newsletter...

The newsletter, as always, is released on the first of the month.


BatVink,
How about a flickr show, or some-such?

I'm not sure how many photos were taken. I'm usually an eager snapper, but I was busy doing other things this time. Maybe we can get people to upload their stuff to Flickr with a common tag.

I recall Rick, Cash and a couple of others taking some snaps.

Very nice Newsletter, and another great entry for the BOTB.

Kinda makes me want to fork out some money and come over there for the next convention....although I'm not sure the wife would let me go without bringing the whole family along.

Oh, and congratualtions to JonF for having his art featured on the cover and in the video...that gun is sweet looking!

Wouldn't mind knowing we'll get to see the videos and pics from the conventions.

So far there's only been a couple with you guys all going off on the "in" jokes that obviously have lost something in the translation given there was no backstory given to them.

There are quite a few of us who wanted to attend but other commitments ment we can't, and it has been said that more coverage would be given this year particularly because it was officially run by TGC itself this time. Just hope we will see more soon, cause dunno about anyone else but I'm very anxious to see far more about what I missed.

Well they've never had a video put up of the convention, so I wouldn't expect one now

There will be a video of Rick. There will almost definitely be a video of Lee (although to be fair to internet users around the world, it may have to be edited highlights). I have yet to fiddle with the audio on the others, it's a time-consuming job. Rick unfortunately lost his additional copy of the footage, so it's with me at the moment.

Hopefully you upload the unfair version for people who aren't living in the stone ages .
