Did anybody actually manage to get a picture of the Rebellion employee dressed as Venus Bluegenes? I somehow managed to go the whole day without seeing her...

No, sorry, I didn't, but am somehow wishing now that I had!

What exactly was she there for?
To show how a GI knocks back drinks?
Title: Re: DreddCon VI Photos
Post by: Noisybast on 02 October, 2005, 03:11:21 PM
Somebody must have taken a snap?
Did she look any good, or (as I suspect) did she look like a random woman painted blue?
Title: Re: DreddCon VI Photos
Post by: Bolt-01 on 02 October, 2005, 03:41:30 PM
Actually she looked quite good, but she was obviously an early GI, as shee needed glasses and obviously didn't have the full immunity to toxins like cigarette smoke or alcohol.

And the blue colouration didn't extend all the way down to the fetching pink knickers...
Which is just as well, as it'd be a horrible colour clash.

i can't tell for sure as i was looking into space as i made my mental pitch, but i definately heard laughter from his direction
Title: Re: DreddCon VI Photos
Post by: Bolt-01 on 03 October, 2005, 06:02:28 AM
From what I've heard of this pitch it was a definite 'hide me' moment.

Max should be ashamed of himself :)

Bolt-01 who missed it cause he was stuck in the bar with Glenn Fabry.

Max entertained Mary and myself with the "Banana (Monkey?) Love" story in the curry house after Shedcon.

Little did we know when Max got up in the last moments of Pitchfest and took the mic it was going to be his pitch until he uttered the words (and I paraphrase here) 'open on a close-up of a bruised banana..'

Max, you should really consider scripting it, seriously, it'll be good exercise and judging by Frazer's reaction he may appreciate a copy ;)

Hope no-one minds me saying this, but these pitch-fest photos are unintentionally hilarious.

Matt Smith:
"And the winner of pitch-fest is James Smith. Yes, he won with an idea called 'how to empty a room in 20 seconds'."

Hmm....

Do you like Cats?

The pitchfest room did feel a bit empty, probably being the least well attended of the ecents with only 20-30 people (which looks very small in that large hall), but previous years haven't drawn all that many more people. I get the feeling numbers were down all round.

From the pitchfests and the scriptdroids group I get the feeling taht a lot of people who got interrested in trying to get into 2000AD when Andy Diggle opened the gates (by printing teh guidelines, etc) have since given up and off.

Since the winter special is printing the guidelines again I'm guessing we might see a new batch of people taking an interest, and the cycle beginning again...
Title: Re: DreddCon VI Photos
Post by: Oddboy on 03 October, 2005, 06:51:09 PM
From the look of the panel - no wonder it was looking empty: the panel seems to be mainly made up of the past pitchers...

Post by: House of Usher on 03 October, 2005, 07:16:40 PM
My excuse for not attending the pitchfest is...

I was having a pint with two message boarders I'd not met before, and we were talking about Lego, science fiction, and Edwardian costume dramas.

That beer tasted sweet, too. I just got too comfortable there to move. Ah well.

i think it would be better as an 'every 2/3 years but a huge big event thing' than every year , people are more likely to make the effort if its only every other year

i am still amazed tooth are not there selling mugs, t-shirts, beanie hats etc.

Title: Re: DreddCon VI Photos
Post by: Leigh S on 03 October, 2005, 08:14:39 PM
There are people (well 'person') selling GNs/Beanies etc, though I think they do need to get a bit more organised with this, and ensure that the full range of 2000AD merchandise is available.  

Mongoose and Black Flame's stuff - last year, you could get both (I think), this year, not.  It was nice to get the Extreme a few days early though!  

It was also a shame there was no "coming up" talk - and no update on the Rogue Trooper game either.

The McCarthy interview was interesting - didnt look at all like I expected!  It was also great to see the original pages of the first Dredd from prog 2!
Title: Re: DreddCon VI Photos
Post by: Max Kon on 03 October, 2005, 08:33:30 PM
i think he really needs less complex with only 1 or 2 ideas in them, not 5 or 6. That way it'd be easier for him to get them across, not muddle them up, and most importantly they'd fit into a future shock.

Flame wars?  Plural?  There was only one- and it's hardly a war when your enemy is too feeble to fight back properly.  I slapped a nuisance around- for fun- and enjoyed myself for a good fifteen to twenty minutes while I did it.  And a welcome distraction from an extremely tedious job it was too!

I'll take the Bacchus comment on the chin- but only because Virgo has the stupidest fucking shoes I've ever seen...
