Title: Even more Salute 2014 photos. VIDEO added 17th April
Post by: 6milPhil on April 13, 2014, 03:01:16 PM
Good to meet everyone I met although it's all a bit of a blur after both pub and a four hour 65 mile train journey home...

Put them in an imgur album rather than inline, saves time etc...

I will have some video up in the next couple of days...

The video, prob with the codex, but hey ho...

Nice work, thanks for sharing. I never get to see any of it being on the other side of the counter. Nice also to have some "atmosphere" shots (reprobates drinking) and not just wall-to-wall pics of admittedly stunning games.

Four hours to travel 65 miles...! I could have walked it quicker...

Those are great pics!  Why all the empty space in that line up area?  No vendors, displays etc..

Quite, had there been any hint of delays at Victoria we'd have toddled off to Charing Cross and just gone around the other way... Cpt. Stinky was as limp as a soggy lettuce by the time we finally got him home.  >:(

Because there where three other events on, London Marathon registration, Cake, and some property show they didn't want a queue in the main drag, so they used an empty area, the same size as Salute proper, a couple of doors down to contain us. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who thought they'd got there early enough for there to be little or no queue...  ::)

We're thinking about doing a trip to the UK and beyond next year.  Midlands for family, London for fun.  Be pretty awesome to time it right....

I couldn't agree more, bear in mind if you want to book somewhere to stay close to Xcel you had better do it quite soon.  :o

Willie - I would hope that you would have been ushered in past the riff-raff and straight to the VIP bar. If that didn't happen, something is seriously amiss... :D

It was good to see you and have a chat, my wife would have been most upset if we'd missed you (so would I, in a different way ;) ).
