Meet-Up! Anticipation Worldcon, a Montréal Meet-up! - Page 6

Correcting an omission.

After the reunion, most of us gathered at the city's old port to end it with a bang and fireworks. South Africa produced the show on Spanish, Italian and James Bond music...

After we parted, Cat and I enjoyed reflecting on the evening's events in the car through the worst series of traffic jam I've ever had the bad fortune to be stuck in. The crowd from the fireworks, the crowd from the Francofolies show and an other from the ACDC show. We left at 11 and I was safely home at 2. Worth all of it!

I like the one with all the bright sparks in it, and also the one of the fireworks is good too

I recognise all the other devices in the middle picture, but what's the one on the left?

pshrynk · 08-10-2009, 07:25 AM

That's my Kindle 2 in a Patagonia case.

Thank you, Verencat, for organizing the meet-up. Spending an evening with everyone in the old port was great fun. And seeing all those readers in one place like that...

Did you really recognize the 5" device? It was nice and had good openinkpot support.

With a hint like that it almost has to be a Hanlin V5, but I can't tell who sold it. I think only Jinke is actually delivering right now...

I give up - I'm not good with guessing games.

Verencat · 08-12-2009, 08:25 AM

Hanlin V3 and Hanwang n516!

tompe · 08-12-2009, 09:53 AM

The Hanwang looked very interesting. There was mentioned a Russian re-seller that was soon going to start selling it.
