Before I shower, shave, pack, etc.
Today: Pick up van, pack all our stuff, think we don’t have room, find we do have room, leave Brighton, lunch at Oxford Services, arrive Birmingham, get lost, get found, unload, set up stand, check into hotel, go find beer.
(If you’re in or around Birmingham this evening and want to find us for a pint, either check Facebook for our location (I can update from the mobile) or just try pubs in the Hagley Road area of Edgbaston. The Garden House is a pretty good bet as it’s right next to our hotel – especially if it’s a warm, dry evening, as the beer garden’s nice.)
Tomorrow: Up, breakfast, into the Clarendon Suites for Day One of UK Games Expo. Show’s open from 10am to 5pm. We’ll have Andrew Wildman, Neil Edwards and special guest Karl Kopinski sketching until their pencils break in two. Also: many cheap games and excellent freebies. (And by the way, I personally supervised the packing of CoH/CoV t-shirts. Oooh! Also we have special ‘black’ CoH/CoV tees not for sale anywhere else. Although we may have given you one of them, once.) Then; curry. If you want to eat with us, you’ll have to come to the show and find out where we’ll be.
Sunday: UK Games Expo, Day Two – 10am to 4pm. Then packing, the road, some crappy service station somewhere, the road again, unpacking in the middle of the night and home.
Are we clear? Good. See you there, or not.

Well, here’s my version:
Today: Leave house at 7.45 to get to work. Luckily traffic is usually light on Fridays, so chances are I won’t be late. Get into office at 8.45. I hate my commute. Work, curse, head home at 5.00, eat and spend the evening RPing and chatting to friends.
Tomorrow: Up, breakfast, into the car once Tom-tom has plotted the route. Intend to arrive early, probably arrive late. Queue and get into the Expo, hunt down the NCSoft stand and high-five my way through a few minutes with all the usual suspects. Grudgingly hand over the cookies to Rockjaw. Hang out, shop, spend far too much money, and try to find a few particular items. Try and blag a Black CoX t-shirt out of Rockjaw with no better reason than “But I *always* wear black.” See if I can persuade Pix to come out for a curry.
At some point head home, log online and do whatever I end up doing.
Sunday: Catch up on my sleep.
