In that particular case it was the WoA ’97 out at the Novotel in Hammersmith and quite frankly nobody wanted to go but me. It was a really sad event (in oooooh so many ways). Picked up a few games and stuff plus the last hardware I bought for my Amiga. So basically I flew home and transfered it to a cracker in Australia. As I recall it we still beat Hoodlum (or was it Hellfire) by hours on the Foundation crack 
(but I’m sure they will dispute that, but then we didn’t bitch about them doing Quake before us).
Sure back in the golden age we used to crash and crack at peoples apartments and in hotel rooms etc but this wasn’t the case this time. End of the era more or less, I have not gone to any shows after that one. Damn it was depressing there.
