Minecraft. Minecon. World of Minecon. Er... World of Minecraft

Last week Mojang put on a fantastic free exhibition last week called the World of Minecraft (possibly) at the Victoria Albert Museum in London. They really put on a show and fans responded in kind, with over 5,000 people turning up to the shindig. We had to leave in a hurry though since it was getting dark and none of us had the forethought to craft any swords. Here's a video with some footage of the event, my thoughts, and the moment I met Mojang's Lydia Winters which was totally awesome! And really awkward! But mostly awesome!

Everyone had a splendid time and I'm pleased to report that nobody died in a surprise creeper attack. If you haven't already, check out the Minecraft IMM blog which was wrapped up roughly a thousand years ago, as well as video of us getting to the museum. It was a fun train ride: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-\_-5S0l5hU[/youtube]
