Good to see, and that you have such a cool hotel room. Enjoy your stay in the UK, Ray. As a Brit ex-pat, I should apologise for the state of the country at present, it’s not great.
Love those old buildings. There's a company called McMenamins in the Oregon/Washington area that takes historic buildings and restores them into restaurants and hotels. They include alot of the history of the building in the refub with stories and photos/murals on the walls. pretty awesome that these places are preserved and not just torn down.
Nice picked mine up earlier as well, standard bag not got the signed card, pin and no discount token. Other wise the same if people were wondering :) . Also I'm from the UK and seen many different showers and that has to be the most complex one I've seen XD Have a good time at the con Ray
I would say late Edwardian myself, and (to be fair)it was a rare thing to see a commercial building ceramically tiled in it's interior OTHER than it's 'rest rooms' as you Americans called a toilet. Usually an Industrial building such as a power station, a water works or a factory would have the kind of tiling your room has. I hope you enjoy your stay, enjoy Cit Con and sample something of what the City of Manchester has to offer!! Respectfully Yours, R
Glad you made it safely even if you weren't able to sell the second ticket. Hopefully more of the merch makes it to the store. I've been thinking to hit up friends with embroidery machines (or Etsy) to do some custom patches for my jacket. Thinking things like the Origin logo, the Chairman's Club logo, maybe my (current) rank. Patches for mine and a friend's org. But that CDF patch is cool too.
Go with friends, the moment its a CIG logo produced by a commercial provider for profit it would risk copyright issues. Also if your friends have embroiderer machines, you'll be able to get far more made up, including name strip, rank tags, and time in service sleeve pips for your jacket :)
Some nice swag in the bag... seems you might as well make use of at least some of the items in there that are going to be no use after the event is over though ;)
Slight correction to your video, the tobii card had a code for 20% off. This is 5% more than the current advertised discount they are running. They regularly have between 15 and 20 % off promotions.
Glad you got to get over there. Was there in the first half of the year, too bad it wasn't now. Thanks for showing us the goodies.
Amazing room...so much more character than a modern hotel room. Have a great time in sunny Manchester.
Safe trip! Looking forward to your coverage
Fancy little goodie bags there
Keep up the great work
Thank you for sharing the goodie bag

Thank you! Always wondered what was in those bags :)
That's neat! I'm a Laylani Addison supporter! I use the spectrum badge and everything.
Have a great weekend. Love the room! Lots of character.
Hope to make it to a Citizen Con one day. Montreal would be great. Thanks for sharing the contents of the goodie bag.

Enjoy the trip.
CitCon looks like it will be full of info this year.
Thanks for the show and tell!!!
I hope you have lots of fun meeting other people there.
Not gonna lie, that hotel room is pretty fun and unique!
Thanks for sharing. Was that tile contraption in the wall a buck stove ?

Happy you got there safe and sound. Would have loved to meet up but sadly I'm out of town.
Interesting room. High ceilings are cool
The pewter pin is nice, that would go well on a shelf. Have fun over there. o7
I got that same VKB rubber thingy when I bought a VKB grip and base.
Thanks for sharing o7.

Not going to lie, but the swag bag is kind of meh, when compared to previous years (sabre raven and ssd).
