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...
I'll make myself as easily identifiable as possible, LOL! I'm only short (5'0 exactly), brown hair a little past shoulder length. And I'm probably going to be as colourful as humanly possible on the first day. No specific T-Shirt, but if you spot a 5'0 girl who looks around 17, wearing a) bright pink trousers, bright pink t-shirt, white jacket or b) bright orange trousers, purple tank top, black jacket, green/blue necklace, then it's me. Unless there's someone out there with eerily similar tastes to me.

Ive just got my badge too, so thanks Zol for the design. It looks so shiny! Thats the only thing i have so far to make me identifiable. Will see if i can get a t shirt done next week to say "Kiss the strawberry lover Mr Tam" but i might just stick to "Strawberry lover" because its not just kaylee who likes strawberries.

Err...Zol, was I supposed to order or download a badge? (I bet your badges are cooler than what I was going to print up and put in my Badge-A-Minit!)

PM message sent - anybody else? badge design? I didn`t think about people in the U.S. and getting the design made into a badge, maybe there is another site that can do the same for browncoats abroad (unless www.badgeplanet.co.uk will send abroad)

Right, I'm going to do this both here and on the Browncoats site. There's a cinema very close to the airport (literally less than 5 miles away) which is a multiplex complete with Dolby EX and all that.

They've yet to start advertising times for H2G2 but I'd imagine there would be a suitable showing at some point after registration and check-in (i.e. around 3 o'clock) that would finish in good time for us to return for the opening ceremony. I'm sure we could organise transportation without too much fuss and there's no danger of things breaking down in Central London that would stop us from returning in time (heck, we could walk back in less than an hour).
Does this seem like a good choice of venue/time? Any thoughts/suggestions? I'll post an update when the cinema puts up its schedule for that Friday.

Excellent Simon_Who (Dr `Who` Simon?)
That`ll be the ticket - if you go onto scoot, you can sign up for emails for that particular cinemas showings or alternatively do it on the day ro even ring the cinema this friday and sk about next friday 
Definitel;y more organised than me, even if we all loadup in a taxi (all 42 of us ) it shouldn`t cost too much.
I`ll put my name down for that, assuming that stewarding won`t interupt (I doubt it for the 1st day but you never know)
I might just leave hotel room registering until later depending on how bad it is - try to queue as early as possible for the registering of the con.
See you soon

*wanders over from Browncoats boards*
TBH the MyVue is still quite a trek, and not necessarily that practical. The CineWorld multiplex in Feltham http://www.cineworld.co.uk/cinemas/feltham.phtml looks like it might be slightly closer, with a bus service between Feltham station and Heathrow airport to boot.
Having said that, if enough people are up for the MyVue, the timing works, and I can share a cab, then I'm still up for it..
