I thoroughly enjoyed the show, as did my mates, none of which had even heard of diggnation before!
The only two things that annoyed me were the fact I couldn't find the Adobe guys who were handing out beer to the underage (I'm 17), and the security guards who stopped me from trying to talk to the Diggnation guys. :(
I was one of about a total of five people who owned up to owning a PS3. The people there were friendly and I even recognised a few names.
What were your impressions of the show?

AMAZING!!! All the guys were great:), only wish we could of stayed for the after show party.:mad: Lets hope they come to the UK more often so we can show our support for what they do. Guess the supply of t-shirts was a little much to ask bearing in mind that every seat was full. I hoped it would be full/packed out, and even won a bet after saying it would be.
Can't belive Alex really thought that we DIGG Pigeon to eat???
Alex, Geoff and Dan were great in the pre-show bar with no persons request being to much for them.

Yeah the show was flipping brilliant!
LOL @ the whole pigeon thing... nasty lol.
The Diggnation and TRS guys are cool irl. We had a nice chat with Alex when we caught up with him upstairs in the after party. Found out about the red laptop!
Kevin disappeared to his hotel room :O
Alex was like "DUDE If you say you're in your hotel I'm gonna give out which hotel you're staying at" ... and he did lol. Even the room number. Pure jokes.
The "Near end of tape" issue was just like a pantomime, haha "look BEHIND YOU!!!".
Anyways, the show was great, and the afterparty was fun too.
Bigup Revision3.

The show was great :)
Had alot of fun.
I was going to get Kevin to sign my iPod, but I was stupid enough to FORGET A SHARPIE. I was like, "DAMN".
I always laugh when I watch Diggnation, I'm not a big TV guy (barely watch it to be honest) so it's the best entertainment around in my honest opinion :) Hope they come back sometime :D

What a show! I video'ed the whole thing and will put it online tonight, but trust me, it's nowhere near as good as Glenn/Pragers video'ing. It's wobbly at best.
But how NICE are the guys. Kevin was a bit of a ninny and left early (fair enough, the crowds were nuts) but Alex and the TRS guys stuck around til something like 1am. Really good meeting them.
Here's my pic w Alex:

It was a great show.
I went to the expo by myself but I actually got to meet a few people at the Diggnation show which was great as I wasn't expecting everyone to be so friendly!
I was sitting just infront of the the guys and gal holding the Alex marriage proposal.
I tried to take some photo's but they call came out blurred due to the fact that I kept laughing and could not hold a camera still and I have a crud camera :D
The episode taping was great and it was just a great night. Thanks to Rev3 and everyone coming down to London and doing a live show here. I hope you all come down again soon.

Awesome show! It was so great meeting the Diggnation and TRS guys. These guys are lucky, because their work is to talk about things they and we love, and they are great at it. They are for real and they spent the whole night talking and making pictures with their fans. And it was so cool meeting so many nice people. It was a great day!
BTW, London Stansted airport is a horrible place to sleep.
Keep going guys!

We managed to get a bunch of pretty good quality pics, check them out at http://gallery.mac.com/johan.adell#100029&bgcolor=black
If you can't see them, that means you have a lousy old browser and should upgrade now ;-)
We had a great time in London, except my throat mysteriously got soar after cheering for about an hour, and now i have a cold :-(
Great to meet Kevin and Alex, but my friends are sadly more impressed by the fact that we went to Starbucks (nope, no Starbucks in Sweden yet) than us meeting a bunch of computer nerds. :-D

Although it doesn't pay off for me at all. I have to say I am so glad all of those folks had fun at the show and after party. The show itself doesn't make me jealous that I wasn't there, (loved the show though) but the great English that had such a great time do make me jealous. (I am a NY'ker BTW) All you English also made me look forward to this episode more than any other. I got'sta go there soon.
Oh and triple thanks to all of you that went, got pics, and shared them with us Yanks as soon as you could.

The only two things that annoyed me were the fact I couldn't find the Adobe guys who were handing out beer to the underage (I'm 17).
I am the boy who was mentioned in the show.
This beer I was given was given to me by Adobe because I was going to the conference not just Diggnation, it was available to those going to the conference from around noon. Don't feel so hard done by, I'm not exactly small for my age, I am six foot four and weigh seventeen stone. Although, I do look about twelve... ;)
