Sep. 22nd, 2007 08:48 pmFMR was ok last night. I think last September's one had about 100 people there, whereas this one probably had about 20. Funny how these things work out. I hear other specialist nights might have similarly low attendance at the moment too. I wonder if and how it's possible to make these events more viable? Perhaps there needs to be more small venues with several rooms, so you can save money on overheads by combining events.
Today I've mostly just played guitar, or read the latest Bernard Cornwell book. I also went to town and bought stuff. 2 books, Game Theory: A Nontechnical Introduction and How Long Is A Piece Of String. 4 cds, Tiamat - Wildhoney, The Meads of Asphodel - The Excommunication of Christ, Octavia Sperati - Grace Submerged, and Anathema - Judgement, the latter one I've had on mp3 virtually since mp3s existed. I also picked up new strings for my electroacoustic guitar, which has been played roughly 4 times since I bought it last Christmas, but has corroded strings nonetheless. Terry Brooks was doing a book signing in town and I was tempted to go along to that too, but in the end I couldn't be bothered.
Me and the new phone are getting along ok, although it only takes one wrong keypress to silently change an SMS into an MMS, meaning it won't get through to certain people's phones. Grr.
Later, as I am being boring and staying in on a Saturday night, I may go and play Thief: Deadly Shadows, where I am on the 'Shalebridge Cradle' level, supposedly such a work of art that it merited an entire article about it. So far I'm preferring the 'Trail Of Blood' and the 'Return To The Cathedral' levels from previous games though.
EDIT: Actually, that level just scared the absolute hell out of me. Ahhh. I revise my opinion. Not sure I actually want to load the game up again now though...
PS. If you haven't done it yet, do my survey. It only takes 5 minutes of your time and a bit of honesty. And I'm gonna run Mann-Whitney tests on the results and everything. Far more useful than one of those crap MySpace surveys that ask what food you had today and what colour your underwear is.
