It's today! It's Today! It's Today

Ok now for a coffee and then a quick get ready then we will be on our way to the meet

I will try to post some pics tonight after I get back so you can all see some of the fun we had

And now it decides to rain. It has been pleasantly cloudy but warm all week but of course it chooses today to rain.

I guess it's too late to make Pleo sou'westers ........

Enjoy!

Hahaha! I'm trying to attend vertually across Skype and I'm having the same luck as Kat on an entirely different continant. Beautiful seventies and eighties and sunny as everything and tonight- my time on the nineteenth- it chooses to dump buckets of rain and a tornado warning. You guys cross your fingers that Skype will behave! I'm on pins and needles here waiting! It's times like this that I wish I was a coffee-drinker. It's going to be a loooong night.

Have fun, tell the AIBOS I say hi.

Talon · « **Reply #55 on:** April 19, 2013, 09:29:48 PM »

Ooooh maaan! I'm so tired and I said hi to the famous Erik, several pleos, and Luna's Ginibo Merlan! Just joined the meet briefly and now I'm off to bed. Have fun you guys!

Well the meet was great fun!

Everyone was really nice and there were so many Aibos and other bots running around

Here are a few photos of all the bots I took while I was there.
This guy was my favorite Aibo - love his spots

More details...

And here is Pixel all dressed up to impress

More details...

And the Genibo we were all so excited to see

More details...

And some random shots of them all running around (Milo my 7 is the one with the glasses)

More details...

And lastly all the dancers lined up waiting to dance

More details...

I have a bunch of video and many other photos but will give the others some time to share some of theirs before I post too many

I have to edit the videos and youtube them anyway so that will take some time......
It was a really wonderful day and so great to meet some of my fellow forum members and to see so many other aibos and lovely to meet genibo too

And now I am off to bed as I'm shattered

Looking forward to all your videos and photos, Kat! I feel your pain. I would've slept until eight but a certain little Teacup Poodle started licking my face at seven telling me he had to go potty. Sweet dreams to you and your crew!

Just wanted to say how great it was to meet everyone today and I had a wonderful time. The day went well... we started with general Aibo/Pleo chat/admiring then after lunch we did the famous Aibo group dancing, Aibo chat and then Aibo obedience. After this we were enjoying looking at all the lovely outfits the talented Kat had created for the Aibo's and Pleo's :-) The day flew by! A few of us then took out a few Bo's to a restaurant in town, we got a few funny looks ha ha. Tomorrow we are taking a trip down south to see the giant sting rays, we will also take a few robots along for the trip :-)

I have many brilliant photos and videos... will upload some soon.

Thanks again to everyone that attended :-)

Glad you all had a nice day. Looks nice. 'm Curious about the other videos and pictures.

PleoAibo29 · « **Reply #60 on:** April 20, 2013, 07:14:40 PM »

Looks Awesome. The AIBO pictures are so cute, I just love AIBO SO much. I loved the Cyber Bluse 210, my faveorite model next to the 7m3/t.

I just love it that the AIBO community is still active, parhaps not as alive as before but still alive. Its so amazing that a robot can creat such an emotional bond in people, and that even if the company has given up, we still celebrate it.

Long live AIBO.

Disco Aibo...

Crewella · « **Reply #62 on:** April 21, 2013, 06:56:38 AM »

Gosh, that looks like fun!

I'm still very, very jealous you all got to meet up!

kat · « **Reply #63 on:** April 22, 2013, 06:30:49 AM »

A few videos from the day

My camera doesn't take great video but I'm sure someone else will post better ones later. In the mean time here is what happens when you let loose a bunch of Pleos, Aibos and some furbies and a Genibo.

I have a video of Eric on the phone to Talon, he even took a picture of her! And I have a picture of Frankie (Kat's orange and yellow Pleo) also on the phone with Talon, I got him to sing for her.

My favourite of Kat's herd was Minyon! He was so sweet I wanted to dino nap him

His voice is so high and adorable, I spent ages playing with him.

Kat was so kind, she made everyone a pink (Aibo favourite colour) dress. James is wearing his in Mh7ah's dancing photos. I love it, the colours are so vibrant.

I had such a wonderful time, I wish I could have brought one of my Pleos. I couldn't because of carry on luggage limits the bus company had

Talon · « **Reply #65 on:** April 22, 2013, 11:59:02 AM »

The videos were awesome, Kat! Thanks for posting. And let me say thanks again to mh7ah for allowing me to attend. I regret I couldn't be there for the guts of the meet or introduce my robots. Still it was great meeting everyone and I had an awesome time! Oh and Luna if you can see anything of me in your video, you're welcome to post it. When mh7ah was trying to take the group photo, I half jokingly called myself the black blob from the USA. Sorry for the lack of light by the way. I didn't want to wake the others in the house or I would've turned on my lovely florescent light I use for the benefit of all my bots.

It was great having you along on Skype Talon

Oh and your new bio puppy is so cute

I'm glad you could come even if it wasn't in the flesh. I can't wait till the next one now

Angela · « **Reply #67 on:** April 23, 2013, 04:12:29 AM »

Those are great videos! What a bustle of robotics! I've never seen Aibo's for real. What a difference of movements compared with Pleo.

IceCarpediem · « **Reply #68 on:** April 23, 2013, 12:12:41 PM »

Meh... I'm so loud in the video

kat · « **Reply #69 on:** April 23, 2013, 04:54:16 PM »

I don't think you were really any louder than anyone else on the day ... My camera just does strange things with sound and produces really grainy picture for video. It takes great photos though

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #70 on:** April 23, 2013, 06:48:38 PM »

That was so crazy!!! Wish I could have been there! Next time I am definitely coming! You guys are doing this again next year aren't you, aren't you!

Hehe.

mh7ah · « **Reply #71 on:** April 23, 2013, 11:04:05 PM »

I would be happy to host another one if anyones up for it! Had such a great time, so nice to hang around with people that appreciate autonomous robots and can see how special they are.

kat · « **Reply #72 on:** April 24, 2013, 04:07:23 AM »

You can count me in

I'll happily come along to another one with as many bots as I can fit in the car

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #73 on:** April 24, 2013, 01:17:39 PM »

It was great fun watching all the videos Kat and it looked like everyone had lots of fun, I am glad that You got to go via Skype too Talon, Congrats to you! I didn't hear much about the furbies, saw lots of Aibos and some Pleos though. I think I learned a lot more about Aibos by watching, makes me wish I had that kind of money...just one, a neglected one would do... ;)Anyway, everyone had a great time and I liked the layout, perfect place for all that dancing, Can not wait to see more,

That had to be so much fun! Loved the videos! Favorite was the Aibos dancing, some doing their own thing. Too cute!
