I'm staying at the con until Monday so may be up for HHGTG that day.
Hopefully there will be bulletin boards, paper or electronic, so folks that want to get together for this kind of thing can do so.
Stay shiny...
"didn't she shoot you one time?"
"everyone's makin' a fuss..."
My problem with monday is that I will have a car to take care of & more stuff to do for work the following day. I would love to see it with firefly/hitchhikers fans but this day just isn`t practical for me.
I may end up seeing it alone when I get back to Cheltenham/Gloucester

That is not so nice, I am sure there will be people here who can do the same time as you. If not CapnEric is right - put a sign up at the con and see who is up for it.
I really should get me a signature

CapnEric: Sami and I aren't flying out until 4 pm on Monday; if there's an 11 a.m. matinee, I suppose we could see Hitchhikers before going to the airport...but it'd be realllly tight unless the movie show is very convenient to Heathrow.
Hitchhiker opens 29th in UK?
BTW, Psychicriver (and Phoebe)-- Sami's close to your age so it'd be nice to be able to identify you. I know you probably already said, but could I ask anyway: Are you wearing a badge, special shirt? What do you look like, generally? We won't be arriving early enough to do lunch after all, but maybe we could meet at the registration desk or something?
(That goes for the rest of you FFF's too.)
And this may be a repeat but if you haven't seen my photo on the Prospero boards: I'm around 5 ft tall, shoulder-length hair with blond highlights, and I'll be accompanied by slightly taller brunette daughter. The daughter looks a bit like Natalie Portman (hence, her Padme costume for Jedi Night). We'll be wearing badges with our names on them.
Edited to include Phoebe :)
I don't care, I'm on a spree! Three days of Serenity! You can't take the sky from meeeeee...

Quote:That's cool. Okay, this weekend I'm going to get a t-shirt printed that should probably say "PsychicRiver" on the back along with something-witty about knitting needles on the back. (I'll post the official t-shirt details once I get it done) I'm 6ft 3", short brown hair, um, hazel eyes (not that you wanna go up to every 6ft 3" guy with brown hair really close to check) and I'll be in jeans, and on my left wrists, will be about ten black bands, on the other wrist, a blue band, some beads and a black band with the word "Working Class Hero" on it. And I'll be wearing a silver crucifix round my neck, if that helps you to identify at all.

Oh, wait! I forgot to mention; And I have a tail!

Now see, I'm glad I asked, because otherwise -- seeing you as some tall lurking fellow with a tail -- I'd never have the nerve to go up and introduce myself. In fact, I'd be hiding the daughter behind me and backing slowllly away. LOL.
But hey, now I know it's just PsychicRiver/Matt!
OK, us small people will crane our necks skyward and scan the ceiling for ya. Better make the print on the shirt really big so will be visible from way down here near the mice...;-)

It's tax day here in the States so one of my friends sent this to lighten the mood:
Passing on because some are funny...
Gentle thoughts for today...
Birds of a feather flock together and crap on your car.
When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the neighbor's dog run to the end of his chain and gag himself.
If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
Don't assume malice for what stupidity can explain.
A penny saved is a government oversight.
The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
He who hesitates is probably right.
Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are " XL."
If you think there is good in everybody, you haven't met everybody.
If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.
The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.
There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. For example I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.
_____
Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it spells "Theirs."
Happy Tax Day from New Jersey :-)
ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS! HURRAH!

Got my badge yesterday (thanks Zol 
) I'm not having much time to think about the con at the moment; parents are moving house at the moment, and all my evenings next week are taken up with rehearsing/being in a play in Abingdon. But I should probably start thinking about what's going on more seriously. I'm afraid I'm not organised enough to think about costumes and so on, but I'll be wearing my badge, and probably some SF/fantasy-based tshirts.
Regarding Hitchhiker's I think I'm going to see it on it's opening night, Thursday the 28th, and to be honest, I don't really want to risk missing anything at the con if I can.
I've really got to think about practicalities of driving to Heathrow from Oxford though - and since I'm staying at another hotel a fair distance away, I suppose I'd better find out about public transport in the late/far too early hours of the morning...
Argh! So many things to think about

I`ve got mine all done, it`ll be good to get soem photos done (especially the fans) - I`ve also got 2 keyrings madeup too - for hanging on jeans etc.
Does Hitchhikers open on Thursday 28th? that might be a good idea to see it before the con (with Srenity trailer? possibly? yes/no/maybe?)
I shouldn`t worry too much about transport too & from the con, there`s probably a heathrow shuttle bus or something - check with the hotel before going - or alternatively bring parking cones and we can reserve a space in the main hotel carpark (with a sign reserved for firefly class vessels only - all opthers will be squashed!
)I`m not sure on getting top Heathrow from Oxford, but for me in Cheltenham, my easiest route is upto Cirencester though to Swindon (on the bypass) and join the M4, get off M4 at Heathrow & locate Hotel - Easy. The Hotel will be marked by various low flying atmospheric vehicles of the 20th Century design
