    Default European WipEout Convention 10 Final Blast!!

    Ten years ago it all started in Amsterdam. With the launch of Pure on the PSP a bunch of crazy pilots came together. We all know what happened after! A lot of new friendships started and still continue. Now WipEout Omega is coming out for PS4 and I want to organise the Final Blast Convention in Amsterdam. Let's see who is interested in this event?!

    From Thursday 24th untill Sunday the 27th of August.

    Who's coming?

    Greetz Mad-Ice

    A short post because of limited time! More info will be coming.

    How I wish I could be there. It would be neat for those of us in other countries unable to make the trip, to participate online. If that's a thing, I would do my best to represent digitally.

    Thanks Charlie for moving this thread here

    Racingfan: it will be fun as always! Try to join.

    q_dmc12: during the tournament it will not be easy for pilots around the world to join. But before or after the tournament, there is always room to join a race with pilots present.

    Knux: oh come on. Creamfields is every year. This one will be last. Take Rapier with you.

    Stin: whoohoo, congrats matey and hope to see you this year again.

    G'kyl: I am so happy to hear you are coming.

    that's a pretty damn cool idea! what about a 'PS4-community' called 'wipEout Convention 10 Final Blast' or something similar!?!? that would be a nice place to spread the word as well, kind of advertisement for the event

    i would like to be there again, im not 100% confirmed yet though, but i'll try my best...XD

    @Mad-Ice I swear if we hadn't already paid for the tickets for Creamfields we'd be there. Proper gutted.

    Never been to one of these, and never been to Amsterdam.

    I'm all over this.

    Now so many guys reply from which I never heard anything within years, questioning if they're still alive...

    That weekend is okay for me, so count me in at 90%. Looking into details about where we meet - thinking about PS3s or PS4s and screens I think Hotel Brinkers wouldn't fit anymore... maybe your long-living idea of renting a house might come true now.

    I'd really like to meet you all again, especially the oldschool ones!


    May I add: it'd be the 9th convention. The 7th one was in 2013. In 2014 we couldn't tag down a date to meet. And 2015 there wasn't even any attempt. So 2016 was the 8th one after all.

    Count me in if I can find somewhere cheap enough to stay (I only have a part-time job!).

    I've never been to Amsterdam. Anyone any suggestions for cheapo accommodation? I'm not fussy about anything other than cost - even sharing would be fine.

    @JFthebestJan: You just try harder

    @Sausehuhn: If it's only one night, it would be amazing to see you again.

    @Hellfire_WZ: I am counting on you!

    @Knux_Chaotix: Sell the tickets to Creamfields for more money

    @OBH: Happy to hear that. Please make sure to confirm your attendance 100%

    @eLhabib: Happy, happy joy, joy, Renn & Stimpy style.

    @AmigoJack: You just have to be there! We are the only two who have attended all the conventions. About the screens and the tournament set-up. I am working on a place right now. About the amout of conventions: I know there have been less then 9 conventions, but the number 10 stands for 10 years ago This will be the last one. Next year it will be a drone racing fpv convention

    So we're doing this Windows' style? Jumping from edition 8 straight to 10?
    Oh yes, it's a bit shocking we two are the only all-contenders - would have never thought so. Lots of things have happened since 2007. To all of us! I wonder how many people we'll be this year...
