I'm certainly interested in going, but I'm not sure about practicality... and I've just this moment realised that I've got tickets to see Ben Folds on Tuesday the 31st. Don't know how much of a difference that would make, I suppose I could take the Tuesday off and travel back down sarf on the bank holiday Monday...
It is a looong way from Oxford though...

It's a long way, but it will be worth it!
You candecide later on. Of course, if you can't stand me as your roommate for the 3-day convention, you might hesitate a little

I'm figuring since I'm in Lanarkshire, that Shetlands really not that far away, least not as far as France or US. Might be able do come up, gotta work out shifts etc though - and I think thats a bank holiday weekend too.

Very true
I'm sure it'll be a baptism of fire 'The question seldom addressed is where Medusa had snakes. Underarm hair is an even more embarassing problem when it keeps biting the top of the deodorant bottle.'

Well, I just went to the eye doctor today, so that's taken care of.
*BUMP*
I don't have my new glasses yet though

One and a half day till I go.
If everything goes according to the gorram plan, my plane won't be late, my luggage won't get lost and I'll be in Lerwick, Shetland on Monday morning, where I'll enjoy a nice breakfast on the boat. I'm hoping Murphy's taking the weekend off.
Then it's going to be a hell of a day, especially since I'm already working in the afternoon...

Okay, *now* I have my glasses and I won't be bumping this thread every day. I'm leaving in 8 hours to go to the airport. Will get some sleep now :)

Here I am, in Shetland. Now my laptop is connected, I can easily come here.
Okay, first impressions.
Snowy. Everything was covered in snow!! Beautiful when I arrived. Now it's raining like there's no tomorrow and... tomorrow I'm going on the field
Oh, something about my trip!!! I had to wait 5 hours in Aberdeen with tons of luggage. I thought that was going to be boring. Then I dropped my luggage at the railway station, went into WHSmith and bought the SFX issue with Serenity cast interview. I already read it off the internet, but to have it on paper makes things much more real. I walked around the town, reading the article and laughing out loud the whole time... Good times.
