Before I passed out I had a solid plan, get up early hit the floors before they filled up and shoot a few things I had missed. As I was crashing at 4am I made sure to set my alarm. Hell of allot of good that did me. I woke at 10:30 to a silent house, my alarm either never went off or I managed to somehow get up, turn off my alarm, and then get back in bed all without bothering to make mental note I was doing it. In no mood to hurry I just assembled my gear and wandered to the Jeep.

The basic plan was to walk the whole floor, shooting anything I had missed and touching base with a few key people. You will find that this final installment of the coverage is a bit fragmented and hardly rational. I can explain this simply by saying; I was burned out like you have no idea. Everything was a blur of boards and broads. A thumping mix of screenprinted fabric and the shining of curved rails. I did the best I could, I showed up.
