@Claris - I didn’t get that impression at all.
Admittedly I didn’t spend the whole day on the floor - a lot of time recording from the Crows Nest.
But I spoke to a few people and also listened in on some pretty passionate Sonic-based conversations.
The atmosphere felt great to me, and there was a lot of Sonic love in the air. ;o)

Sorry you didn’t have a similar experience.

Hopefully when my “Highlights” video gets finished you might see some of the fun people were having.

I attended the Summer of Sonic event for an hour or so; for shame, I missed the live music. It’s a shame they’re obviously not on top form - Jacques is just playing his single keyboard line over a recorded backing beat!

I was astonished how negative the fans were, to be honest. You’d expect a fan gathering (it wasn’t large enough to be a full-blown convention! :P) to be full of bubbly, enthusiastic types - pretty much _everyone_ I bumped into seemed to be ripping on anything that wasn’t Chronicles. Probably wanted another go at the demo, I guess? For god’s sake, someone was wearing a Nintendo shirt! Either way, it really soured me on the idea of another Sonic community bash.

I can see my back from here! And believe me, I almost seized up after that performance.

Richard playing the Outrun section was awesome. Man, if i was there i would have been dancing to that shit. Turn the crowd into a nightclub or something, lol.

The added bonus of Dreams Dreams was wonderful. TJ Davis needs to be the singer for the next NiGHTS game…whenever they decide to make one.

Great event and i would certainly love to see this make a return sometime in the future.
