This statement comes from Summer of Sonic creator and co-organiser, Svend ‘Dreadknux’ Joscelyne.
After five amazing years of creating and organising the world’s best-loved Sonic the Hedgehog fan convention, I have decided to retire my position from The Summer of Sonic team. Effective immediately, I will have no involvement in the organisation of 2013’s event.
I have passed my duties and responsibilities in developing the convention to Adam Tuff (T-Bird) and Rory Joscelyne (Roareye). Having been key members of the Summer of Sonic team since its very first year, I have no doubt that they will continue to realise our vision for the show, and put on an amazing day’s worth of fun for Sonic the Hedgehog fans all over the world.
The Summer of Sonic convention is an event that will forever remain incredibly dear to me. I would like to thank everybody who’s ever been involved with the show’s development – volunteers, special guests, our collaborative partner SEGA and of course the fans that have attended and helped transform it into the international success it is today.
I will be cheering the Summer of Sonic organisation team on from the sidelines as I prepare to embark on a new adventure. Thanks again everyone – it’s been a fantastic ride!

Jeez, all the best Svend. You did an amazing job and inspired me in countless ways. I MEAN that…
Last year me and my friends could attend to the Summer of Sonic event, travelling from Italy, when all hopes were gone only because of Svend’s kindness! You helped us to realize a great dream, so all we can wish to you is all the best for your future and… thanks for all you’ve done to Sonic fans and for us!
