Did anyone got to that Sign Exhibition thingy at the NEC in Birmingham today??

Just wondering. I went, and I thought it was alright, pretty impressive when you look at what can be done with the right machinery and equiptment!

Pretty usefull for me too, as I have a Graphics exam a week today, and some of the stuff I read about and saw there has helped me to learn/revise some more.

And what a small world, meeting 2 people from Bristol up there!
But I didn't know them, so the world's not THAT small.


I've never really been to an exhibition and payed attention before, but I found they can be pretty good and very interesting.
I'd love it if E3 came to England - or of I could at least go to it somewhere!

What do you think of exhibitions if you didn't go then??

Damn there goes my trip to E3.

Its a shame, I remember when I was younger going to a games exhibition with my older brother where they previewed upcoming games, mchines etc I loved it but cannot remember what it was called I'd love to go again it was at Earls Court

I dont think its exactly open to all shops as such. Maybe Tony could get a ticket for himself though.

I dont think people are allowe to enter the thing if they are under 18 either.

And, E3 is in America and has already begun.

Tickits wouldnt be allowed to be raffled off like that because you must be someone like a well known website master or owner of a huge gaming company or PR or something like that.
So even if you got a ticket you wouldnt be able to get in.

I have an idea, if E3 is open to shops etc, SR could run a competition to get a ticket for a winner. The competition would have to be tough though, definitely for such a good prize!

Yeah, I suppose it would help me develop my work and stuff but nobosy would take me down there.

Its not THAT far away form me but its far enough for everyone to say that they wont take me or come with me.

Lazy gits aint they.

:D

I went to the NEC Birmingham with my old workplace for a vacuum pump exhibition. I was just a temp, but they gave to the day off just for the hell of it.

It could be pretty useful for your Graphics work too Hercules.
You can look around at other people's work and ideas and it may help you to develop and come up with your own.

And with so many different techniques on display, it'll help you with the DT in Society stuff - but you may not cover that 'till A level.

Didnt go to that exhibition thingy that youre on about but I also would like to attend an E3 event. It would be so cool.
Not bothered where its held but just getting allowed in would be amazing. Because its only for the hard people, you know, people like journalists and game shop/ magazine people.

Ah well.
