Who's going to ICE London 2008?

[KasinoKing]

Last year was my first, and so far only visit to a Casino Exhibition.
It was one of the best day's of my short life when I got to meet (among many others) Webzcas, Pat H, SpearMaster, and of course the dynamic duo: CasinoMeister & Simmo!

So who's going in January & when?
Anyone organising a high-level executive board meeting (piss-up) I can join in?

 

[The Dude]

I'm planning to have a casual "meister" get together at the same place we had last year. I expect a number of you to be there

Should be fun

 

[The Dude]

That's Tuesday at The Atlas around 4pm-7pm or so. Be there or be AWOL.

 

[Simmo!]

I'll be there for the duration

 

[SlotsWizard]

I'll be there in spirit...

Do I get a keychain this year?

 

[maxd]

Would very much like to, trying to scape the shekels together, yadda yadda yadda. We'll see what we see.

LATER: Well, looks like I'm there! Tues-Thurs.

 

[Slotster!]

Count me in... Probably Wednesday/Thursday though!

 

[GrandMaster]

Do I get a keychain this year?

That's my question too. I am not going to spend hours on the train if I don't even get a keychain out of it.

 

[vinylweatherman]

I may come to the Atlas this time, I missed out on a keychain for not turning up last year.

Could someone post the address, I think I got as far as looking at train times last year, as I don't fancy driving through London, especially if I have to pay 8 to sit in traffic, and pay 50 if I get home too late to pay it (stupid system). I don't like to pay in advance in case I get held up or don't go in the end.
I think we have new trains now, so I may even consider going to ICE.
I may have to go in disguise though, so the casino operators don't recognise me unless I want them to

 

[spearmaster]

That's my question too. I am not going to spend hours on the train if I don't even get a keychain out of it.

You should talk. At least you don't have to sit in economy class for 11 hours, next to a fat ass slob who snores like hell, mumbles about crap meister or something, and drinks up all the Diet Cokes so that no one else can get any...

... ummm ...

... well yeah, thank God I don't have to sit next to myself either!

 

[Zoozie]

I had planned to attend this year, but unfortunately some holiday plans got into the way. I do not think my GF will appreciate canceling our caribbean trip so I can drink beer with some gambling addicts. But now I learned not to make plans in January. So maybe in 2009... Have fun.

 

[The Dude]

Here's last year's review on the liquid lunch Ed Ware and I had at the pub, just scroll down a bit:

And then further to the "meister meeting" (second day).

Looks like I'll have to bring the production line out of mothballs...

Ask the Meister for an advance on your pay....

[jetset]

Like Spear, I'm looking at a really long flight....but I plan to be there!

 

[Alexandre]

I'll be there but I still didn't book my accommodation.
Maybe those who are coming could say in which hotel they are going to stay ?

 

[Simmo!]

Not sure yet but I'll probably stay in central London and get the tube over each day. Only 20 mins.

 

[GrandMaster]

I have been trying to register, but the website, www.ice-exhibition.com is down. Is it just me or do other people have the same problem? If I am going, it will have to be just the 22nd.

I just registered - 10 minutes ago!
But I used site: Old / Expired Link

Glad you're going for the 22nd - me too!
(I better get that key-ring sorted... )

 

[The Dude]

Glad to see you guys making it

 

[Alexandre]

I'll be there from the 23rd to the 28th in the morning.
The first night I'll stay at the Comfort Inn (Earl's Court) and after l'll move to the Hilton Olympia also at Earls Court.
Will anyone of you stay at the same hotels ?
Bryan, Simmo, did you plan something for this year ?

 

[jetset]

Looks like a large group of Meister-members will be there - good to see such a high level of interest!

 

[lojo]

Not me

You should put your foot down. Next thing you know, she will insist that you spend money on her instead of gambling it away.

Thanks, you are a treasure KK. I am now registered and got my train tickets as well.

 

[Jody Nustedt]

I'll be going, ICE is a great event.

Can casino employees attend the Atlas meet? Promise not to 'talk shop'!

 

[The Dude]

This is open to everyone. I'm sure there will be a few operators there as well. I remember last year the Inetbet guys were there and a few others.

Casino employees are particularly welcome - especially when they foot the bill

 

[Jody Nustedt]

OK, will definately be there then, with some others from the Purple Lounge Team.

Casino employees are particularly welcome - especially when they foot the bill

and I'll get working on this

 

[thisisvegas]

I will be there!

 

[KasinoKing]

I will be there!

Look forward to seeing you there - but if you want one of my famous key-rings you'd better hurry up and answer the PM I sent you last week...

BTW; the ICEi floor play shows a stand for Pentasia - is that you, mis-spelt?

 

[The Dude]

Looks like this will be a cool get together. There should be a surprising number of faces - which brings one task to mind. Do we need nametags??

 

[KasinoKing]

Do we need nametags??

Nah - lets just all wear our caps with our names on!

Pentasia is an entirely different company from Pantasia. Pentasia is one of the oldest recruitment companies in the online gaming industry.

Now as for what is sure to be a ruckus at the Atlas...yep, wouldn't miss it!:yahoo:

 

[bonustreak]

I missed last year so I plan to be at the Atlas, Greedy save me some drinks girl!

 

[jetset]

Looks like this is turning into quite a crowd - looking forward to it!

 

[Simmo!]

Must admit last year I was worried people would turn up and not know who was who. Maybe the Meister should wear a silly hat. Or maybe GreedyGirl could stand outside and ask everyone who they are?

 

[tim5ny]

I may go but I wont reveal who I am until I'm leaving. I don't want to spend the whole weekend looking over my shoulder to see if someone's trying to kill me.

 

[gfkostas]

I might come as well. Just trying to put on the scale the pros and cons. It's a long trip for me as I need to walk 10min,get on the train, spend 30min inside, get out,look at the map etc.:baby:

 

[The Dude]

There may be a possibility of moving this from late afternoon to 6-8 pm (Tuesday 22nd). Is that cool with everyone? If so, we will probably be getting a private room w/drinks.

Sounds totally excellent! :notworthy

I've decided to stay up over-night to avoid lost drunk staggering around the capital trying to find the last train to the Sunshine Coast.
If ICE is really good I'll go there again on Weds, if not I'll tour the local pubs emptying their fruities for them...

 

[Alexandre]

Sorry but I'm coming wednesday 23rd of january so I won't be able to make it.
I'll stay till monday 28th.

 

[thisisvegas]

Pantasia is another Rival casino but I don't work with them but yes I will see you there!

Did get back to your pm but will answer the last bit today and send off an email as well.

As for 6-8pm I am definitely cool with that since I fly in the morning of and might need a nap and to navigate my way from the airport to my hotel.

Time is fine...but one of the joys of this pub is the "outside" bit at the side with heaters where we evil smokers can congregate and plot.

Typical French - never there when you need them

PM me and we'll fix up a time for a coffee Alex.

 

[The Dude]

Maybe we can hang the smokers out of the windows

And you can always get there early and hang out for a while sucking in all that delicious smokey poison...

 

[Rusty]

In the voice of Homer Simpson;

Stupid London, thinks its the best city, ooh look at me I'm London and the Queen lives here, with your stupid clock going, ding dong ding dong, ding dong ding dong, thinking your all posh and sitting at one end of the country expecting everyone to come to you because, I'm London the Capital, look at me with my crowds of tourists, well Boohoo to you and your crummy Ice exhibition................... awwwwww why does it have to be in London.......Doh!

 

[cheekymonkey]

My babies are due to arrive next weekend, so fingers crossed I should be able to make it.

So hopefully be able to catch up with all you reprobates.

First round on Simmo. Mines a pint of Heineken with a vodka chaser.

TYVM.

 

[Simmo!]

With your history of no-shows I should be safe

 

[cheekymonkey]

With your history of no-shows I should be safe

1 no-show does not = no-show's'.

See you there.
