Insomnia #60

Set off excitement

Me and Cam had a great day out at Insomnia 60 yesterday. Much excitement a we set off on our adventure to the NEC. A smooth, Easter Sunday, journey down in the Qashqai, with little traffic, some nice chat and a pleasure to purr along in the new motor. I’d wondered about a train, but Cam was really looking forward to a car journey down with me, so that is what we did.

We arrived in good time and the queuing into the parking areas was not at all bad.

The Queue

Here we are in the queue waiting to get in for the 10:30 opening time. It looks pretty horrendous, but actually we were quickly on our way and swallowed by the huge venue.

Early on we got to play some pre-release Nintendo Switch games. I was surprisingly good at ‘Arms’ which was a boxing dueling game. Mystifying really, as Cam drubs me at anything digital.

To cap the visit off Cam plucked up courage to go to the ‘Meet & Greet’ area to say “hello” to one of his YouTube heroes: 8 Bit Ryan. Cam was really confident and got to have a chat with Ryan, swapping gaming stories. We got some signatures and a nice photo. The guys were real gents and Cam was super chuffed. A great end to a lovely day. The journey home was just as smooth.
