Although I am a penniless student I am hoping to somehow scrape together the funds to go to the London, Heathrow convention this September to meet shiny, shiny Jewel, Sean, Morena and others. (Well, it is my birthday coming up, I shall just have to spread the word about what I really, really want!)

Anyone going or tempted to go? Here's the link:

What I was wondering was if anyone was brave enough to split the cost of a twin room for a couple of nights (it's a lot cheaper than going for two singles). Or, if you're feeling particularly naughty/ cheap we could stretch the rules, get one single and I would sleep on the floor! I've done it before!

I split the cost this way with a stranger the last convention I went to and we ended up being great friends!

Just a thought I'd send out there to see if there was any interest.

Psychopathic axe murderers need not apply!

You do get 3 days of fun-packed guest talks and sales and parties and stuff, but still it is expensive!! Room prices are about 59 pounds a night if you want to stay at the convention centre and party till the wee samll hours (but that comes down to 38 pounds or even 30 if you split it!)

No Alan yet but Starfury always have a great surprise guest (when I went to the Buffy con they sprung both Joss and Nicholas Brendan on us!) and I hear he had a blast at the last one so you could always keep your fingers crossed!

Oh my God that sounds great, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I'm really quite up for going to that, I'd love to meet some of the cast, especially Jewel (mmm) and that could count as my holiday this year.

I'll have to think bout it, and see if I can drag a friend or two along.

I wouldn't mind splitting a room (if I decide to go), as it would be nice to have someone to hang out with, but I am a chap, so can understand if you ain't comfortable with that.

But whatever we will all have to go for a Big Damn Drink (BDD), question is, can I find me a cool brown coat in time?

Oh and just read chapter 1 of your stargate crossover, fantastic work.

There are other cheaper hotels available if you want to cut down the price. But the 78 pounds is for three parties, a bunch of autographs, lots of talks and several surprises, plus you get to meet BDH's. And me.

I'm a little curious as to why you ruled out psychotic axe murderers. Does that mean well adjusted axe murderers are acceptable as roommates?

Ha! Yep, well adjusted witty axe murderers are welcome so long as they don't bring their work home with them!

I'd be happy to share a room with a bloke (hey, I'm not that shy! But I am that broke!) so long as I get to vet them online first to check that they're just weird enough!!

I'm going but my rooms already booked I'm afraid. Good luck though and hope to see you there.

Neither myself nor Simonwho bring our work home, but we're evil geniuses, we have people to do the axe murdering.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

I’m going, my first and most likely last convention. Ticket bought room booked. Now I just need Summer to show up.

Well if you do decide to go, let me know. I'd be honoured to share a room with someone with such excellent taste! (Have you read any other chapters yet?!)
