Yep just to say the same as everyone else it was a fantastic do, great to finally meet people behind the names, Gooner, Hotshot and Shockwave, all thoroughly top dudes.

The venue was perfect, nice facilities and free use of the kitchen which was well equipped. Lots of room to spread out, great atmosphere which in a large part was due to rc55's quips while trying to get the compos to run on time  ;D

I hope Shocky/Gooner you got back fine, it was a late drive for you, and I hope Hotshot you had a safe trip.

The museum aquired some great stuff as well which was a bonus (thanks also to Gooner for the PS2).

And a final snippet of info divulged by our b&b host:
Did you know Budleigh Salterton was the 1st place in the UK to have a Nudist Beach!  :carrot:

Hello everyone,

It was good meeting people such Gooner, Hotshot and Shockwave, DrewPee, PhoenixTLB. I had to get used to understanding people on  face to face then I manage it quite well. The background noise does affect me when I watch people lips when come to talking.

All in all  it was Enjoyable Sundown 2008


Roll on Sundown 2009   :carrot:

I really want to say that Hotshot really put himself out to get to the party.. He just got on a bus and headed in the general direction, I got your message Hotshot, I do hope that you managed to get home safe and sound?

@Akeo, yeah, there seemed to be no teenagers at all, everyone was from our era :)

I am ok now and sundown was new experience for me. I talk to people and they were showing me different linux which I found it interesting and yes it is much better than Window xp!!

I spoke to man who made atari st demo and he showing me the GFX Demo effect which was impressive. Man who code was saying that he made in C++ as he made look so easy!(The reason he made it look so easy because he been doing c++ for years!)

so if people want go to Sundown for next year which is OCTOBER 2009 and hopefully it will be even better than last time!

More people who on the forum on here to visit the sundown next year would be great.   :updance:

I must ask, what was the syntax for addressing each other? Real names or handles?  O0

If I have the money for Train Fares and organize myself, there could be a chance I'll go next year and there's nothing penciled in my diary for next year.

Btw did any of you meet other people from other groups? Were the UK Scene All Stars there?
I know that Hotshot met Hotshot. :D

And another question, what were the releases like at Sundown? As I havent seen any.

Cheers,
Clyde.

Hi all!

You can address people by whatever you want. I mixed handles with real names the entire weekend mainly because I didn't know both for everyone.

I'm always the taxi service and collect people from the train & bus stations when required and I can also take people back at the end of the party so if anyone is going next year - remember and stay in contact!

A taxi from Exeter to Budleigh (and back) can be quite expensive and I do it at a fraction of the cost - just a small donation to cover petrol.
