See this is where a gif of Alex taking off his jacket, showing his bandoleers of clubs and saying "Can you step? Come at me bro!" would be appropriate

We'll meet and both be decked out in clubs and it'll just be awkward because we showed up in the same outfit...

LogicSword · Postby **LogicSword** » 29 Apr 2013, 15:57

I am... Considering it. Maybe just the Saturday. Need to decide quickly though, and then get trains etc booked.

Geoff_B · Postby **Geoff_B** » 30 Apr 2013, 00:29

Well you will be safe from clubs from me on this occasion...

Merrymaker_Mortalis · Postby **Merrymaker_Mortalis** » 30 Apr 2013, 02:41

I might consider comming to the Oct one.
I would need to raise funds for that however.

Would be nice to observe some forumites in the flesh, in a none-creepy way.

Keab42 · Postby **Keab42** » 30 Apr 2013, 03:24

If we can confirm enough LRRites going in Oct we could list it as an official fringe meetup, might lure some other LRR fans.

And make sure we know before we get there, cos trying to organise a meet up place over twitter in a building with zero signal worked so well last time

But yeah I'd like to be there if I can - may not actually know until summer.

Merrymaker_Mortalis · Postby **Merrymaker_Mortalis** » 30 Apr 2013, 03:51

Good thing I don't have a mobile device that can access twitter then!

So. Saturday was mental, they con was definitely bigger this year. Sunday is clearly the day to go unless you're looking to hit a specific panel. Much quieter so you can actually get to the stalls and it's also much easier to see and photograph the cool costumes. Not as many standout ones this time around but I got a few photos of some of the good ones.

Highlights for me were the Jane Espenson panel and the Edgar Wright panel.

Amazingly I seemed to have full mobile signal at all times, though I did appear to be the only one.

Mild thread hijack to point out July's apparently a busy month and the Con calendar with a bunch of others lined up. This weekend its London Film and Anime Con and at the end of the month its London Anime Con. Both in London.

Between them, and I hope I can be forgiven the rather shameless plug, a bunch of friends and associates are putting on ReadCon in Reading next weekend. It'd be nice to see them get a bit of rub for their work.

Having recently moved to Reading I may actually be able to go! Thanks for telling me.

Anyone planning to go to hyperjapan at earls's court on 27th July?
Maybe we should make this a general UK/London con thread

Geoff_B · Postby **Geoff_B** » 27 Sep 2013, 00:26

I've put the call out on G+ but in case I've missed anyone, are any UK runners planning to go to LFCC next week?

Hepheastus · Postby **Hepheastus** » 27 Sep 2013, 01:39

I would but I'm super busy

Merrymaker_Mortalis · Postby **Merrymaker_Mortalis** » 27 Sep 2013, 03:39

I will be conning when I have money... who knows when I will have money.
I am eager to stalk some of you see.

UK Cons:

It's a bit smelly, expensive, food is bad, The Isle of Wight, the red breasted robin. And so many more.

Elomin Sha · Postby **Elomin Sha** » 27 Sep 2013, 07:29

Whoops, wrong type of cons.

Hey, British food is very very good. British cuisine, on the other hand, is functionally non-existent.

*psst* That's part of the joke.

Could 'clubbing' someone work with a Leek work?
For some reason, if I ever met you Elomin Sha, I'd try to "Leek or "Bara Brith" you.

Maho?

Putting together the final bits of my costume for MCM this weekend. Anybody planning on being there?

LogicSword · Postby **LogicSword** » 22 Oct 2013, 08:59

I will be in London briefly on the Saturday, but only King's Cross/St Pancras

Ptangmatik · Postby **Ptangmatik** » 22 Oct 2013, 09:25

I was in King's X yesterday for an hour, I would come back but I can't afford the fare.

I need either a northern convention or much more warning :-)

(Unless I get the job I was interviewed for)

Dates clash for me again. These things just happen on the wrong weekends for me.
