BIT Live 2004 is the last one

A powerful artistic climax for a journey which has seen us progress from a glossy nightclub, to a indie nightclub, to a church!

After this one, we will have pretty much done what we set out to do: reunite the composers with the fans, up the ante for performance of SID music, and have a lot of fun. We'd be repeating ourselves if we did another one after this.

If you were putting off coming, now's the time... before the lonely decades return...

The end of an era... Domination diskmag, Kim Lemon handing over his site, Back in Time Live finishing... I hope this isn't a bad sign...

It's certainly a sign of the Universal truths:

Nothing goes on forever
People change
Circumstances change
Jeff Minter loves sheep

I'll just encourage anyone to stay on this forum after BITlive has stopped.

You never know what can happen in the future!

As I said to Chris last night, there is nothing stopping people from arranging a weekend in a city someplace for drinks and merryment and just a good old fashinoned time.

Nope. Or even gathering at next year's CG Expo in Croydon, where I will be.

On the subject of CGE - maybe we could merge BITLive into the next CGE somehow? Couldn't hurt to ask him :)

It's a great shame that the Bitlive roadshow is coming to an end but, all good things must come to an end, as the saying goes.

I, for one, fully intend to enjoy and make the most of this event even more now it's the final official one.

<elitist>

Therefore, you'll find me in my VIP seat enjoying something pretty special while those of you in the cheap seats can enjoy the show in your own special way.... :wink:

Thanks to Chris (and everyone else who assists with the events) for putting on such unmissable parties and giving us all so much fun! :D

That's a pity, since I can't actually make this one. (Friend is getting married.)

Sad news. So more than likely SID80's last final too.

Is she that much of a friend? Is she? :) Remember when she er.. pinched your shoes.. pulled your hair...

OK, clutching at straws here :)
