And so here I am, sat at the EA stand, making a few last checks before we open to the lines of gamers piling in to the building. The stand is awesome! I hadn't actually seen it before, only a rough design so to say the least I'm very impressed! We will have some pictures up when we get back so keep an eye out for those.
What have we been up to? Well we set off yesterday and had a relatively easy journey to Newbury taking no more than an hour which was nice. We had plenty of tunage to keep us going though, we think we've almost decided on a community team theme tune now...
So we arrived and wandered in to find our half ready stand looking very impressive but in need of setting up. The majority of the work went into connecting up the computers and the consoles to make sure everything is connected up and ready to go. I even had a quick chance to play Euro 2008 against Karen (one of the guys that's come to help us) and was winning 4-1 before the first half finished. Sadly we were quickly titled slackers and were sent back to the grind.. so to speak.
We then finished up with some fish 'n chips and headed back to the hotel for a relaxing drink before scooting off for some beauty sleep.
And this brings me to this point. Following on from a good breakfast this morning, Baker011 and I are here waiting for the others to arrive before we plug everything back in and get going.
It looks like it's gonna be a great weekend and if any of you happen to be here, please come and say hi/yo/sup/wadup etc...
