Dragonball 2013 (UPDATED 5-1-2013) - 17th, 18th and 19th May - The Road to Rouen

[DJT88]

I'm bringing my GoPro Hero2 also

 

Do other people use the remote control app on the iPhone aswell? It's very handy as you can see what you're filming.

(you do need the wifi backpack)

Why are you stopping so far away from Assen ?

 

I'd personally drive up from Rouen to Assen on

Sunday 665 km (6hrs)

 

Stop at Assen Sunday night then go to the show

on Monday, then after the show and being up all

day i'd have thought you'd need to stop over another

night before driving the 900 kms (9hrs) back to B'ham

It is better to do the costume thing on the Saturday, we have a very early start on the Friday and it means people have time to sort it out before we leave on the Saturday.

 

I'm also thinking we make it Comic Book heroes as Super Heroes limits it a bit (Batman isnt a Super Hero, he's a vigilante, and Iron Man has no super powers....).

 

I will try to come up with some awards for the best costumes.

[Havard]

I've already sorted mine so changing the rules may cause a problem. To infinity and beyond...!!

Well lets make it comic book and super heroes. Leaves a lot more options for people.

[drift_bear]

I've got my costume sorted!! It's going to be funny to see people's faces

I think we should just go free for all on it - why limit it?
