Shoot! I have exams, there's no way I'd be allowed to go. Stupid school, stupid exams. ¬.¬ Can't you re-organise it to a Saturday?
Good luck everyone.

It's on a Monday bank holiday, so you shouldn't have college/school anyway.

I wish I had some way of getting up there. I'm also out at a gig that night too so there's no chance of going.

I've entered, though it was hard to chop it down to 50 words!

I went with the creative approach.

London is slightly too far out my way.

If there was one in Portsmouth or Southampton I'd be there!

It is likely that no pictures or video will be able to be taken. When we last went to play we were not able to although the results can be seen in the video in the stickied thread.

Why not ask a parent or relative to go with you it could be valid then?

You should PM Aurora she might know, be good to get some feedback from you on the forums about the event as your a very frequent visitor to these forums, and would be nice to see a dedicated veteran of the forums get the chance to play the sims at this event.

Just sent my entry. My God I hope I win this. I already had one of my dreams given to me and then swiftly taken away this past year. This will cheer me up no end. I love the Sims.

Really, Anthony, you should find out if you could do this. You would be perfect to represent this forum. It wouldn't hurt to ask.
