dfisk Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hey UK people! I'm going over there next week to see some things in London. I may or may not have time to meet up with people (my schedule is filling up quickly), so if you are in the London area and want to meet up at some time, PM me.

dfisk Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Come to Belfast instead ;-) Regards Chris W Oh man, I wish I could. I don't have a lot of time. There is so much more I want to do on this trip than I have time for. It's a business trip and not a vacation, so I'll be lucky if I can get out of the city.

Henchman Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 You have to go to the British Museum. It has some amazing artifacts, like the original Rosetta Stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Thomas Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Is this for BVE? There's potentially a few off us having drinks on wed night (possibly combing with BECTU London production division) near the Excel centre. I might not be able to make it as I've got a job during the day, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Andrews Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 vin, would love to meet you in person whilst you are in London. Same goes to fdisk. I'll be around on Weds for those drinks Richard mentioned, but am free the rest of the week so let me know if a different time works. ~Mark.

OmahaAudio Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 When you leave through UK airport security be advised that they have very different thoughts as to the size (and weight) of carry-on baggage. Check with your airline as to the weight in particular. I always try to avoid even transiting through the UK as their out-going carry-on restrictions really suck.

I mean that you should take the time (use the DLR tram) and leave Canary Wharf. See some of the real London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check with your airline as to the weight in particular. I always try to avoid even transiting through the UK as their out-going carry-on restrictions really suck. Size is the main thing, also depends a lot on the airline how lenient they are (cheaper airlines are really stringent). Only one I've found that does weight with carry-on was monarch (budget airline), which resulted in the cameraman I was with going through security with a Red Epic in his coat pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfisk Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Then get out of there! I mean that you should take the time (use the DLR tram) and leave Canary Wharf. See some of the real London. I did some of this tonight. I've been up for about 36 hours now (couldn't sleep on the plane), and I've seen some really cool stuff. The tower of london. The tower bridge. I had dinner with a good friend (not in the audio community). I already have the train system figured out. Very easy. I thought having all the CCTV cameras around would bother me, but I honestly feel safer knowing they are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john Quinn Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 And does Heathrow still only allow 1 carry-on? Generally yes but I have on occasion carried my sound bag plus pole and 416 in rycote and a small ruck sack. The people a Heathrow are very used to dealing with crews and it is pretty much a very easy airport to travel through. Best John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I was at BVE for a couple hours today (tues) and will be there again tomorrow afternoon. Some things I liked: The latest update of the 4minx allows a cheap midi control surface to be used with the recorder: A new DPA jaw mic demo'd with Sony's digital wireless (very light with a rubbery ear thingy): News of a dual slot caddy (made by visual impact apparently) for Sony's digital wireless (photo of a photo): Some 'cheap' nagra recorders (without removable media! why oh why): I'll try to make the bectu thing as well (although I don't really qualify as young these days:-) Atb, Dan Rosen. Ps. I'm note a massive fan if BA but they do allow you to carry on a reasonably sized bag AND a laptop bag which is certainly better than sleazyjet. And terminal 5 is quite nice (I managed to get from a tube train to take off in 40 mins recently. "Phew" - I thought I was going to miss the flight).
