I'm still smiling from a bloody great weekend and it's at times like these that I'm honoured to be a part of MLG.
As the community keeps growing, I'm always left wondering if the little people like myself will just disappear into the background. So many talented and loving people. So many beautiful faces. It turns out that there's more than enough room for everyone. I don't think I've had as many hugs in my life, and for that I thank you, one and all.
So if you're reading this and were thinking of going to the Expo, but just didn't feel like hanging around with a bunch of strangers, let me tell you that you'll never meet a nicer bunch of people. Always welcoming and always willing to make you feel right at home. If you've got the slightest inclination to go next year, then please do. You won't regret it. I never have.
Thanks again to Matt, Daren and all the wonderful community managers.
Love Wayne. x
This still cracks me up!

Wayne what you posted is absolutely spot on.
This is the first year that I gone to the expo and I've never met anyone from the community before. I was a bit apprehensive as I was going on my own but everyone was so friendly and welcoming.
My only regret is that I only stayed in London one night. Next year I will be staying more so I can spend more time with everyone.
I would encourage anyone to come along to next the next Expo, you'll have a great time and meet some truly awesome people.
I'd also like to say a massive thank you to Matt, Daren, Kyle, Adam and Neale for organising a brilliant weekend.

Wayne you are spot on.
I was a little apprehensive about going to begin with, but thought fuck it. I even dragged the Mrs along and we both loved it.
We are both itching to do it all over again, and made some good friends along the way.
My only issue is that much beer flowed over the weekend I'm gonna struggle to remember everyone's names next year

That was my problem too, I took the missus (II Gizmoo II) and she really enjoyed it too. As for name/face/gamertags, I think next time I'll be taking pictures of people and taking notes
