Elite Dangerous Premiere Event 22nd November 2014 Discussion Thread
- Thread starter Brodie
- Start date
I take smart casual to mean:
- shirt but no tie
- plain jeans (no rips, fades, etc) or plain trousers
- shoes variable, but not sneakers
Not sure what I'll wear and not sure I care either
Something more comfortable than a kilt, anyway!
700?
Shouldn't be too much of a squeeze then.
BTW, it's decided... I'm wearing a suit & tie.
You disappoint me what happened to the rebel I used to know at university
comfy boots (given we could spend a lot of the night walking/standing around), clean black jeans and polo shirt for me
I'm looking at it from the view point of the 'premier' night being more of a gaming company convention/showcase (aka CitizenCon, Blizzcon, SOE Live) rather than a film type premier
There's about 300 or so budgeted from the Kickstarter, but I think they've been releasing tickets at 50 at a time, so make that another 100. Plus no doubt a few invitees & press etc.
500 sounds about right.
Remember Kickstarter people can/will have a +1, so assume ~600, plus 100 post Kickstarter... 700.
I'm hoping for a full sized cobra mkIII parked next to the SR-71 on the runway tarmac
Ditto
It looks like my friend, who's Scottish and my plus one has persuaded me to be kilted too, as will he be, So that's four of us.
I think Kate won't know how to cope with so many men in kilts. ;-)

Are there any timings for this event yet?
Suddenly I've got "Evil Scotsman By Rockin Jock" playing in my mind, I'm not going to link it for fear of being shouted at by the forum police...
"And just because I wear a skirt don't think.............."

That's my regular wear.
This is a special & cherished event, therefore I'm going to dress to the 9s for it. Nothing wrong with making a bit of effort my friend.
There were 156 possible backers qualifying for "launch party" tickets with a +1, however 19 weren't taken up.
So 137 doubled is 274 kickstarter attendees (some of which may not attend).
Add that to public sale and professional attendees imo should now be between 500-600'ish?

Did you know that a Cobra is around 40m wide

40m of awesome. I'm not expecting to take a tour of the inside. So a well painted plywood she'll would placate me.
So many familiar names from the Kickstarter & forums, seeing lots of unusual faces will be quite trippy.
I hope they provide appropriate name badges (because I know I'll appreciate it).

I'll probably recognised CMDR Braben though.
B&B: Booked. (http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_...fast-Whittlesford_Cambridgeshire_England.html) 1.6 miles from IWM.
Excited: I would make a labrador pup look calm.
HOPING FOR FULL SCALE COBRA?: HELL YES.

Is there any official information on what the itinerary for the event is?
Not that I've seen, only opening & closing times. (6pm til midnight)
Although I haven't had the postal invite yet, so perhaps there will be more details on that.
