Premier inn caring cross hotel is a 5-10min walk to the venue or you can crash in 4person room at venue

If anyone is looking for a group gig you can book in the venue itself Hilton 2-4person room, it'll run each person ~€160 for the 2 nights

Staying in venue with 3 other players probably worth extra bob, im sure there will be ruckus all through the night

Going as well. Already booked a room with bed to spare, this time at the Premier Inn. You interested in sharing again, Kiki?

ayjayirl · 17-01-2016 9:02pm

I'll be there.

Now, to organise Road to Hypespotting 5.....

spriral · 17-01-2016 11:44pm

I'll be there, booked in December.

Voa · 26-01-2016 4:31pm

Going.

raah! · 01-02-2016 3:39pm

I'll be going to this as well now. Gonna book flights soon.

Xanfel · 29-02-2016 1:50pm

So I just booked flights and stuff like that, and I'll be attending Hypespotting for SFV and Sm4sh.

My sister lives in Edinburgh, so I'm not in need of room sharing or anything, but I figured I'd give people a heads up.

I may also be annoying and try and arrange casual matches with some of you so that I don't get 2-0'd on stream again like at R2H.

Just FYI - This is in Glasgow, not Edinburgh. You are probably aware, but your post intimates you might not.

Xanfel · 29-02-2016 2:21pm

Bless you and your kind concern, AJ.

Yeah, I know it's in Glasgow, I promise.

Great to hear you're attending, you're more than welcome to come by our room for sets.

Flights and hotel all booked - now to pray my new passport arrives on time.

Correct if I'm wrong, but I don't think a passport is essential to fly to the UK from Ireland. Better safe than sorry of course.

It is if your passport is Kenyan.

Oh yeah, I suppose that's why he's called Mikenyan.

Most people think that but actually his name is Mike and he's a big fan of Nyan cat.

Thankfully it's an Irish one - Kenyan passports are worthless and I'd never trade it for one.

Hi all,

I'm going to give Hypespotting a miss after all.

PM me if you want to take my hotel room (shared room).

Dreddybajs · 16-03-2016 10:48am

Yeah, you shouldn't need a passport in that case Mike (bring ID though!). http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/moving_country/moving_abroad/freedom_of_movement_within_the_eu/common_travel_area_between_ireland_and_the_uk.html

That was my thinking too, Dreddy, but Ryanair disagree, and apparently they're within their right to demand only passports - from that same page:
"However, all air and sea carriers require some form of identification and some regard a passport as the only valid identification."

Either way, they're not letting me on the plane without my passport, so have to keep my fingers crossed for now.

Dreddybajs · 16-03-2016 5:09pm

That's very weird. Fecking Ryanair.

chopperbyrne · 16-03-2016 5:25pm

Ryanair have been like that for at least fifteen years.

TheMikenyan · 22-03-2016 9:02pm

Welp, passport arrived a good 10 days earlier than expected, so crisis over. See ya there, lads!

K.O.Kiki · 02-04-2016 3:50pm

Please post results as they happen, guys.

And good luck!

chopperbyrne · 02-04-2016 4:23pm

A turtling Chun put Cobelcog into losers a few minutes ago.

WHAT.THE.ACTUAL.F***!!??

Talk about complete and utter unprofessionalism, not to mention a kick in the teeth to everyone who might have actually wanted to watch it.

I think people can agree with me that the stream was a trainwreak, from the lack of a player cam ( VERY disappointing ) Admins getting names wrong ( even spelling a commentator name wrong! ) to boring, seemingly unintreseted commentators to top it off.

*facepalm*

D4RK ONION · 03-04-2016 7:48pm

While I sympathise with them (**** happens on the day!), telling people it's actually THEIR fault for not showing up is a joke.

Yeah the fallout was handled very poorly. I know he has since apologised but still....

Macal · 04-04-2016 10:29pm

Think this is the general results for the Irish here. Might be missing a few.

9th: Cobeclog, Nutrient
25th: Brickterium
33rd: Deskmenu
65th: Neilo, Xanfel, Ian McTetley, AyjayIrl, Spriral
129th: DanSim, Scavenger XIII, Mike P, Doom, Mikenyan
