   Oh Em Gee! SonicLondon is back!
    
   As many of you will know I decided to step down as the group's President at the most recent meet in November. I just felt I'd been doing it too long (nearly 5 years), have grown away from the scene somewhat, plus wanted to concentrate on my new meet-up group StreetPass London.
    
   After much back and fourth (and the group's near demise) SonicLondon has made a miraculous comeback thanks to ForeverSonic of RadioSEGA! Yes, ForeverSonic refused to let the group just disappear, and, hence, agreed to be its new leader. The fella recently announced the comeback SonicLondon meet, the details of which you can find here : https://www.facebook.com/events/1076009949093336/
    
   Also, if you're not already a member of the group on Facebook please show your support by joining : https://www.facebook.com/groups/107060975984482/
    
   As for me, well, I've found walking away from my baby a little harder than expected. As a result I'll be helping ForeverSonic out with the marketing of the group and events. He's my boss now, however, so he gets to tell me off if he sees fit XD. I'll also be taking a step back from the meets themselves, atleast until ForeverSonic establishes himself.

   Just a reminder that the next SonicLondon meet is this Sunday, and it looks like a fair few Sonic fandom superstars will be attendance! Indeed our RSVP figures are currently a massive 46 yeses and 26 Maybes. This could easily be our biggest meet ever...
   Nintendo have once again ever so kindly pledged to donate some goodies for us to give away as prizes, can't wait to see what they send us this time =3
    
   I published an article about the meet on my site 3DSBlessed this morning. Do check it out : http://3dsblessed.com/?p=1634
    
   One last time ; for full details/to RSVP for this meet please see here : https://www.facebook.com/events/571207212959354/

   Yes, as Tanner so kindly pointed out ;  the 13th SonicLondon meet has been announced!
    
   
    
   Date : 23/2/14
   Time 1:30 - late (although if you're planning on coming later do be sure to either communicate with the gang via Facebook, or with one of your friends who you know are attending, as there are no guarantees with regards what time folks will leave. We should be around til early evening atleast, however!)
   Venue : Meltdown London, 342 Caledonian Road, London N1 1BB
   Age range : 18+
   
   Activities
   
   There will be contests going on throughout the day. These will include :
   
   ~ Sonic Lost World 3DS Tourney : You will need a copy of the game to partcipate in this (hence why this meet is being advertised as Sonic Lost World Hard Mode. But don't fret if you don't have a copy, because you can still take part in other contests!)
   ~ Sonic & Sega AllStars Racing (Xbox 360) : The details of this will be decided by our Xbox 360 guy (aka Tareq/Cyburn). They will be confirmed on the day.
   ~ Art Contest : Draw a picture inline with the Art Contest's theme (to be decided and confirmed on the day by our Art Corner maestro Andrew Hamblin). All entries must be created by event attendees on the day itself
   
   Drinking
   
   SonicLondon kindly asks all attendees to purchase a drink or two throughout the course of the day at the very least. This is because the reason we are allowed to use the awesome Meltdown premises is in exchange for business. If you don't drink alcohol we urge you to buy a soft drink atleast, or a pint for your buddy.
   
   Meltdown are, however, cool with people bringing in food from outside! So do feel free to bring a packed lunch! A pizza run is also something which may well happen around dinner time... (if you'd like to take part please do ensure you have some cash on you).
   
   As Central London pubs go Meltdown is pretty cheap! You can get a pint for as little as £3.50, and, for those that can afford it, they have a scrumptious range of gaming-themed cocktails! So yea, bottoms up <3
   
   Meet
   
   SonicLondon is a wonderful oppurtunity to meet and make new friends with other Sonic fans in the Uk. Many friendships have been forged at SonicLondon (staffie Torch even met his wonderful girlfriend Val at one of our meets). Please don't be put off by the fact this is our 13th meet, yes we have history, but we have new attendees coming all the time. Coming and staying. We're probably one of the least cliquey meetup groups you'll find. So come on down!

    Thanks Amalgamous!
     
    I have this title now...
     
    Does anyone have any idea how to unlock the full functionality of the Streetpass Cards? I'm sure there should be more options than what I currently have...
     
    Disregard that, I think full functionality is available from the beginning... I just couldn't work out how to unlock my Mii lol

    Looks like Nintendo will be helping us out once again, with copies of Sonic Lost World (format to be confirmed) and eShop vouchers to be won! You need to be there on the day to be in with a chance, so make sure you go ahead and RSVP!

    I honestly believe the 3DS version is the best handheld Sonic there's been so far. Feel free to read my FULL review (its finally here, after all the previews, lol) here : http://3dsblessed.com/?p=1355
    
    Since writing that I've had a look around and noticed other reviews of the game haven't exactly been kind... half tempted to sit down and write a further article addressing all the criticisms. We'll see...

    Further details about the upcoming SonicLondon meet :
    
    
    
    This one's been titled the Sonic London Winter Party. It will be held on the 30th November between 13:30 - 17:00 at Meltdown London, an eSports (aka gaming) bar in North London (UK). The owners have kindly agreed to let us use their Xbox 360, so expect some Sonic Transformed/Sega Superstars Tennis action!
    
    There will be an Art Corner, kindly hosted by Andrew Hamblin, with pens and paper for guests to use. An art contest will take place based around the new game Sonic Lost World.
    
    There will also be a Handheld Corner, with an emphasis on the 3DS Sonic Lost World multiplayer. Don't worry if you don't own a copy of the game, because myself and SonicYoda will both be hosting VS matches via 3DS Download Play. The meet will also be a great place to trade cards with fellow Sonic Lost World players if you -do- own the game, as well as missions.
    Other multiplayer games will also be played, such as Mario Kart 7, Sonic Transformed etc.
    
    To check out venue details, keep up to date with developments and RSVP please see here : https://www.facebook.com/events/1412673555626472/
