Gadget Show Live 2009 – That was the day that was….

I didn't visit this bag. I went to the show.

Well today I spent the day in Birmingham UK at the Gadget Show Live 2009 – a festival of all things tech and gadge!

The setup: having been seeded tickets by a contact, I was in line to get in at the start of the show – or so I thought. Actually all three days of the show (17th-19th) are/were sold out, so there were HUGE queues! I decided to get a Full English Breakfast to bolster my energy levels for the day, and wait for the queue to die down – you see, not just a pretty face ;-)

… and that’s really where a fairly poor “wireless” start to the day occurred. I was waiting for the food, via a radio-based flashing light system, employed by lots of restaurants. I shall not name the restaurant, suffice to say their wireless buzzer, supposedly denoting my food being ready, didn’t work:

Come on, buzz! Please!

That was a real shame, as it meant my brekkie was a bit cold.

Anyway, eventually I got my scran, queued, and got in… see a series of posts following now for what I found!
