A good day for Guadec, not such a great day for me. Having not realised how long the third Pirates film is, I ended up arriving home at half past one Friday night. I then overslept and missed my train to Birmingham and had to pay full price for another ticket on the next train. Luckily arrived only half an hour late, but still not my finest hour.
However, we had a good look around the venue and it reminded me of what an excellent place it will be to have Gaudec. We also took a trip round a few local bars to get ideas for recommendations (well that was the excuse if we needed one). There are some great restaurants and pubs just around the corner from the venue, so everyone should be able to find places to go out and have fun.
Unfortunately, by the time we were getting some food, the fine weather was getting to me and I didn’t feel that great. Luckily, Birmingham also has 24h supermarkets that stock handy things like Paracetamol. So more reassurance that everything anybody could need is just minutes walking distance from the venue. I just hope we get the same nice weather during Guadec as we did this weekend.
Thanks to Paul Cooper, Bastien, Rob and Pete who came to help look round and it was great to see Stuart Langridge and Lorraine (Aiden’s other half) join us for drinks afterwards.
And it was nice to be invited. Cheers for a good evening, even if you did miss the comedy 🙂
