Oh Bloody Hell, Dougal, Now What’s Wrong?

After a surprisingly good train trip to Cannes from Waterloo, Rafe and l arrived at the hotel to find ‘no room at the Inn’ and no record of our booking. Luckily they had a room for Sunday night, but the rest of 3GSM they were fully Booked. In the best Heinlein tradition, we’ll worry about this Monday. There’s enough industry people who want us to write nice stories about them that crash space on a floor shouldn’t be a problem. And thees probably a bundle of cancelled rooms around. The Media centre staff should be able to help find us

Lots of Travelling

It’s been a strange week. I feel most of it has been spent on a National Express bus. Monday was an overnight Edinburgh to London trip to attend some pre 3GSM press conferences from one or two American companies on the Tuesday. After that it was an overnight bus home. And now I’m writing this on yet another London bound bus. The train to 3GSM is Sunday lunchtime.

Which (male?) idiot organised 3GSM to be on Valentines day? Do they know just how many brownie points all the attendees have had to spend to be away from their partners on that day? Gah…

3GSM Here I Come

So after a little bit of wheeling and dealing on the internt , both Rafe and I are now definitly going down to “The Biggest Press Jolly Junket Of The Year,” which is more commonly known as 3GSM. Effectivly every mobile phone company, player, software house and a swarm of Venture Capitalists descend on Cannes, buying up all the airline tickets and pushing the Hotel Prices up. So how Rafe and I have managed to find a 4 Bedroom Suite, on the Waterfront, at the ridiculously low price that we have is beyond me. Flights were a bit more difficult
