When:
Saturday 4th June 2011
2pm - 6pm

Where:
Kyoto Lounge
http://www.kyotolounge.com/ (http://www.kyotolounge.com/)
Dark rooms + lots of PC's = win!

http://www.kyotolounge.com/images/about_2.jpg

Whats going on?
The Aria Team will be there of course!

We are still arranging the finer details, but we will be having competitions and tournaments for prizes in the PC zone. It will be very informal!

RawZ will be demonstrating the finer aspects of overclocking to us mortals so its worth the trip alone to see the master in action :D

Food and drinks will be provided and there is a full bar for those who wish to purchase something a bit stronger!

Attendees as of 20/5

Robin

It's a great venue.. we all had a nose about and its geek nirvana :D

I doubt 14 year olds are alowed to go...

Who's actually going?
I can likely go.

Allsopp

aslong as your parents have allowed you i cant see a problem just cause theres a bar doesnt mean under 18's cant go without permission i would assume as the bar will just ask everyone for ID and if you are found to be buying for underage people you will at the least be asked to leave at worst be seeing the cops an losing some of your money

El Wayneo
10-05-11, 11:41
Needs a poll.

I can't go, its my dads 60th Birthday, super huge party.

BigIan88

Allsopp
10-05-11, 12:55
Should be stated to only vote if you would of been able to make it and cant and not that you aint going cause you dont want to that way if the majority say they cant make it perhaps a chage of date

Considering it is an official announcement I should imagine it has been booked.

There won't ever be a weekend when everyone can go, in fact I should think that 1/3 of the forum would be in a position to go on any given weekend.

Robin
10-05-11, 13:07
Aye, the date isn't changing now. We already talked it to death here.

Ninjacat
10-05-11, 13:13
just checked out the site for it

looks like a nice, place. Do you think RawZ will make some O'C Cocktails :P haha

do have the whole place to our selves ? or just a room ? would love to check out gaming on 3D monitors :drool:

Broadsword1976

Is there the possibility of webcasting the OCing Demo from Rawz at the gathering? For us what cannot attend.

Or even just setting up a few webcams we at home can stream live and watch/comment on proceedings?

Just a thought.

I will have a think about how to make this work. I don't work Saturdays but it'll take a fair few hours to get there regardless of mode of transport. Also costs, so I'll see what I can do.

Thinking of taking Friday off work if THE BOSS allows it, then staying Friday and Saturday nights.

Sarky
10-05-11, 18:39
Sure why not, depends how far from the Manchester Picadilly station but I'll try be there. Need some directions :P.

Sounds good, what games are we including and stuff? Or what we doing besides saying hello and watching the master at work?

Murf
10-05-11, 19:01
About a 25 min walk from Piccadilly station, it's just across the road from MMU, and near the "Deaf Institute", "The Pub" and "The Footage" :)

I was in there recently for the first time... Only used the 360's but wasn't too impressed with it. I wanted to see what the PC's were like but my mate refused to play anything that wasn't COD (fanboy) and they don't have COD on PC Apparently... Which I found strange for a popular gaming bar.

The way people go on about it I think I was expecting too highly of it, you know... Good equipment. If you care about your score you'll take your own controllers... I'd consider theirs a bit... worn out?
