AvatarMeet 2015 - Event Log

[Alan]

Just though I would start an event log for any of the attendees to record the coming and goings of AvatarMeet 2015.

Here's my little dit from Wednesday when we all arrived.

Well, CyanRachel and I made it to the hotel....too early. So we dropped off our bags and caught the free shuttle bus into the town centre. The town was pretty busy, sort of like an inland seaside resort. More sweet shops than you can shake a stick at. I even saw a hummig bird!

We called in at the visitor centre to grab some leaflets before catching the free bus back to the hotel.

Mikko and crew had arrived and checked-in and also booked a meeting room for the evening. We sorted out the badges and MSGs plus posters, with the amazing artwork done by Ekirä. We finished which just it time as folks started to arrive. There were two new faces to the clan - Seze and ballju, which was great.

It was all very informal and after a brief overview of the meet up from Mikko everyone just settled down for some social catch up.

A group of us went out for an evening meal before retiring back to the hotel. We ended up pausing on the way back to take a look at the stars and spotted Saturn. Then things descended into geekyness as we talked about Pluto and the space probe, how gyros work and the lovely stuff that powers it!

Wednesday will be a trip to the cinema at 10:30 to watch Avatar CE followed by and exploration of Estes Park and then in the evening we will be visiting the local observatory for some star gazing and see if we can find Pandora!
