  10th Anniversary SLAY Radio Gathering.

Misser - 2009-04-06

As you may be aware now, every year we hold the SLAY Radio Gathering on the first weekend of August. This year is no exception! However, it is going to be a rather special occasion, because this year SLAY Radio will have been running for ten whole years!

Because of this, we want to make this year's Gathering something special - and this is where you can help! We would like your suggestions - however big, small, sensible or downright silly - to make this an unforgettable event. Post any idea that comes to mind here. Please feel free to fill it with anything that comes to mind and we will collectively stroke our beards on how to fit it into the event.

Remember, any and all suggestions will be considered, so get typing!

UPDATE: DATE HAS CHANGED!!!
It would appear as if there's this small band, that you may have heard of, called U2 that have a gig in town the same date as the SLAY Radio Gathering was supposed to happen. This would normally be no problem, since we know U2 are major fans of the Commodore 64 and SLAY Radio, but apparently they had to drag the entire northen hemisphere with them to town. This, of course, means that not only are all hotels fully booked already, but you may even have a hard time finding a spot to put down that cardboard box for a good nights sleep!

And this, ladies and gents, means that we were forced to switch the date to the weekend after the intended one. If anyone already booked a flight, train or other type of transportation, please drop us an email at gathering at slayradio.org and we'll try to sort you out the best we can!

So. AUGUST 8. This is the date of the main event.

However shallow indeed, I must suggest that you put up a HUGE badass contest with at least one really really odd prize.
But as I have no experience in earlier Gatherings, that's all I could bring you.

Competition suggestion: cover the stickers of assorted C64 stuff and have people guess what name/number/code it has!
I wonder if I still have my brown tit joysti...ball somewhere?

Name that tune/game/demo based on audio or visual clip?

My only idea is have more stuff in the slayradio shop,
especially more designs for the t-shirts.

Maybe some pixel c64 grafix of the giana sisters or a bubble bobble sprite.
I am also missing the glider logo from conway's game of life =)

Best Regards :)

Crap in a hat.. Damn global crisis!

Sorry, I'm going to miss this one... IRL life is testing me, and it forces me to stay home this year.. Living on less what welfare demands recently...
Wish I could be there! Have a good one all! :)

Cheers!
