You've not mentioned if you're going to Serenity3. I'm assuming that you had such a great time last year that you've signed up again. Which of our BDHs were there then?

I've spent the afternoon doing a little research. I have now officially booked my ticket (don't you just love credit cards? They let you buy thinks you can't afford!)
Terrible news folks, the Thistle Hotel (the one the convention is at) is fully booked! However, the Radisson Edwardion just over the road is still available and just a bit cheaper. There price for a single room and breakfast is about £60, whereas a twin room is £63.45 (inc vat) without breakfast or £75.20 with. Split that in two and you can see why I am so keen to share (apart from the fun of getting to know someone!)
I have made no definate committments as yet although have been chatting to Tayeatra in PM and feel we have a lot in common! What I think I'll do is book a room tomorrow so that I don't lose out and just hope I can sort out someone to fill the extra bed!! Better to take the risk than end up without a room I think!

I'm going I'm going!! Me! Me!
S2 was my first con and I loved it so much I wouldn't have missed this for the world. Infact I've put off moving to Canada for a month so's I could go! Call me crazy but you know.. Jewel and Morena are gonna be there. Totally the funniest sweetest girls ever! If Nathan was going I'd be on top of the moon.
I would have said I'd love to share a room with someone, but alas I am already taken! There'll be so many people there though it won't really matter who you share a room with.
I can't wait I can't wait!
Also when the Team Random thread gets going again we'll be talking about S3 insessantly! Coz I for one am too excited!

I really really really want to go, but I don't live in the UK and I'm not sure I could ever find as cheap of a ticket to Europe as I did last Dec/Jan ($250! Chicago to Dublin! AMAZING!). Especially given that I decided I absolutely cannot be in WI this summer and thus I'm running away to Hawaii (fingers crossed) to hang out and volunteer on organic farms.
But if you can handle me being incredibly last minute and probably not knowing whether or not I'm going until about a month beforehand (flight deals!), I would be more than happy to split the cost of a room. Even if it involves sleeping on a floor and I don't mind sharing with guys either. I had this great experience at a hostel . . . it was 11 guys and me in a room. Fun stuff.

I'm going!
Yay me!
First time in London. First time in a hotel! Staying with EmmaRigby.
Horrifically excited. Not stopped jumping up and down since I booked.
In fact I just told everyone in my hall of residence despite the fact that most of them couldn't care less!
Woooooohooooooo!

Okay, I've just been on the phone to the Sheraton Heathrow (Not the Radisson as previously stated, got confused with names!) and casually asked if they had any triple rooms, since two people had definately said they were interested in sharing. There was only one left so I provisionally booked it! There'll be no penalty if I want to change it to a twin room later.
Leaina, do you want to join Tayeatra and me in a triple room? The room is £84 plus vat a night (without breakfast) which works out at about £68 a head for the Friday and Saturday nights. The salesman guy persuaded me to reserve this room by telling me that he'd cut the rate from £150 a night so it should be a good room!
If it's all happening a bit fast for you and you want to hold off for a while I'll understand (I don't want to push anyone into anything) and Tayeatra and I'll opt of a twin room (there's not a great deal of difference in price). I just panicked about how quickly rooms were disappearing!

I've just had to confess to my family that I have already spent the birthday money they haven't actually given me yet!
Never was one for patience! What if it had sold out while I was waiting?!

Shiny, how did they take it? Yeah better to be safe than sorry.
Sucks that the hotel is full, better make bookings quick. Anyone else interested in sharing and saving some cashy money, let me know.

Well, they rolled their eyes a bit but forgave me!
About that room, unless someone asks me not to in the next few hours I think I'm gonna change it to a twin. After all that is what I originally intended (I think I got salesmanized!) and there's less risk of one person dropping out (for whatever reason) and leaving the others to foot the bill. Taya, hope you're ok with that. Don't worry, we don't have to pay till checkout time.
That reminds me. I've been to this hotel before. The nearest cashpoint is about 5 miles away and the merchandise sellers don't accept credit cards. Whatever you are expecting tospend over the weekend on cool Firefly stuff, double it at least and take cash! (Oooh, look at all the pretties! And me without any cashy money!
