Elite Dangerous Premiere Event 22nd November 2014 Discussion Thread

Can someone clarify as I'm being confused by different messages - is it the Holiday Inn Express Cambridge or Duxford?

My hotel is in the centre of Cambridge next to the station, not Duxford - so I'm thinking for transport back after if that's the case (no issue just want to make sure)

Duxford one is CB22 4NL - this one http://www.hiexpress.com/hotels/gb/en/cambridge/cbgdk/hoteldetail/directions (which happens to be next to a station - but not in Cambridge)

What's the Postcode of your Holiday Inn?

If going back to Cambridge after event, there are trains running until 1 am so I will be getting train back to cambridge
 
Ok guys, mission for you, I need you to help me nick a shower unit from the Holiday Inn Express, red hot, really powerful, much better than the luke warm dribble that ours produces back at home!

On the train from Plymouth now, 6hrs ahead where I intend to watch the new Cosmos series to get in the Space mood :)
 
What time does the live stream start and end? Well I know it starts at 8.00 but how long is it expected to last.

Need to let the Missus know how long I'll be ignoring her for ;)
 
Owing to a last minute change of plans it seems I am now able to arrive earlier and do an overnight - predictably anything close by is booked so it looks like I shall be sleeping in the car/car park/bar whatever but umm, yay anyway!

Chalk another one up for The Red Lion :D
 
Check the Hoilday Inn Express mate, over 300 rooms here, bet their is one going.
Call 01223 497070

So today is the day....... hope the weather brightens up and I can shed this hang............ totally alcohol unrelated headache ;).

is most of the event inside?

I ask because whilst i will wear a shirt, I am pondering on bringing a jumper or not - if i do its not that smart... and I am not coming suited and booted so no jacket.

Coming in jeans, trainers, (Elite) T shirt and a hooded jacket/cardigan.
You wear what you like mate, don't worry.
See you tonight.

Ps my only concern is whether to bring cash or card for the bar.
 
Ok. Arrived at Red Lion, after several tries I finally managed to open a login screen for the hotspot here. (So I can even play Elite despite no offline mode....)

I am the geek with the Mass Effect N7 Hoodie in that corner over there. :D
