You wait ages for one...




Our London show (pics by Bex again). It all finally came together, almost a whole year of planning, and unbelievable workload, little help from fellow students, and no belief from the majority of the year that it would even succeed (in the end about half my year turned up). While the day may have been a very long one, and the ending ever so slightly premature, the start of the day was at least enough for me to view the event as a whole as a success. After the first company turned us down, we faired a little better at the 2nd, Pentagram no less! With two more companies then sending out people to view our work, the pre-lunch audience thought it was a great idea, and seemed to really enjoy the experience - well how often are you invited onto a routemaster to view an exhibition?

However, the less we dwell on the 2nd half of the day the better. All in all, I think we got a lot out of the day, there are very few graduates who can say that they have had their work seen first hand by even one of the companies we managed to get on board.

Mate,

The buses look excellent- did you manage to cause chaos with them; I hope you managed to block at list one major London Road.

Are privately owned Routemaster's congestion charge exempt? :-)

Glad to hear the first half of the day went well, just pretend the second half didn't happen!

Well done!

Hey,

i'm pretty sure we covered the CC in the price we paid for them!

as for blocking roads - well we had to move out the other bus out the way for a car at pentagram, but we were literally outside their front door, so was worth it. And we had to end the AMV one while they were still there as someone wanted to move his car, and we'd packed it in lol.

other then that there were a few tight places - we decided not to stop in soho, would have blocked the whole road!

but yeah, 2nd half didn't happen - not at all!
