    Our clan from the NE are staying next door to the venue. After missing out on the free shindig by going into town a decision was made to cut out hassle & stay near the action. Except this year apparently there's not gonna be an after party (at time of writing this). Well not a free drinkies one anyway. As far as we know. Hum.

    It really is in a field of its own.

    It is, and I know somebody that's got one.

    Ugly little blighter though

    Funny enough, Ken at Blue Acoustic had a used 4 box "Blue Rig" system for sale a couple of days ago for just £2.5k (he says it's very similar to the M2 in terms of performance). I missed out on that one and didn't fancy the drive to Llangollen to collect it.

    We stayed in Birmingham last year as we wanted to go for some drinks, but found Birmingham not a very nice place at all. We will be staying at the Crown Plaza Right opposite, so nice and close to all the parties etc. I don't understand why people book crap hotels in the middle of nowhere for the sake of saving £30.

    Oh I don't know, Peter, Twinspin, Davesounds and me found a very nice little bar next to the Travel Lodge we were in last year. We even approached by a couple of "nice" young ladies before we'd even perched.

    The big advantage was being able to buy real beer (you know, in a pint pot with bits floating in it) instead of the trendy Euro-fizz muck they were giving away at the Plaza.

    The long walk through Brum to find Steve and Angela though with at least three of us being decrepit and unable to navigate with a smartphone.....that was the sort of thing they used to make a long running TV series about

    Ha navigating around brum centre with Google maps on a phone? Been there. Got that t-shirt never mind the money I saved on a room it cost me 40 quid in shoe leather.

    We bumped into andy neen & Shaun so we all ended up going for a curry & ultimately wound up in wetherspoons. Which was about as much fun as a spoons can possibly be. This year will be more about bpm for me. Planning to see loads more seminars & do more networking.

    It'll be great to catch up with people though

    Gutted i can't make it!

    A lesson to all, when trying for a baby, feign injury 9 months prior to BPM that renders you incapable of getting it on.

    I will name this child Jazzy Jeff as a sign of my anger.

    Nice hotel, the Crowne Plaza there.

    One plus about being the resident DJ at a Holiday Inn is being able to get discount rates at IHG Group Hotels. Staying at the Crowne Plaza at Manchester Airport next Monday for £49.

    I've managed to save the money on a room AND be on site near the complex

    IBIS budget at Birmingham Airport is still at a bargain price: https://www.booking.com/searchresult...empty&sshis=0&
