As the venerable T.J pointed out to me earlier, 10 years ago today was the official launch of the game into Gamma, and the launch event.

I managed to play for about an hour or so before I had to leave to make it to the event. A few people could barely even stand up straight at the hotel bar nearby before the event started, not mentioning Slopey's name or anything :)

It was my first time meeting lots of these lovely people, some of whom I've gone on to become good friends with. It was the first time Frontier laid on a free bar at an event for us, and quite frankly I'm amazed that they carried on doing it considering how much T.J got through by himself :) And when we as a community came together to raise money for a couple of different charities in Frontier's name, it was the first time I'd heard of SpecialEffect, who I am proud to still be helping out to this day.

A lot of fun was had that evening, and at the many events that have followed whether they were official or fan created.

it was a great party (also the mini pre party meet up the night before)
I was just getting over gastroenteritis and the absolutely last thing I needed was a skinful of booze from the free bar...... but I didn't let that stop me :D

I still have mine on my gaming wall as well along with other tasteful things
