Hi guys unless someone else can come up with a better name, this was all I could think of - the other thread was getting silly in length and we were getting low down the list!

There is no news though - ya boo sucks

No News ... NO NEWS!

We`ve got 4 guests announced, the hotel is getting booked up & well over 2/3rds of the tickets were gone a couple of weeks ago.

ok so i thought i'd get to work early and check out a few things - about half an hour later i finally worked through the con threads - JEEEZUS

so everyone is v. excited!!!!

i've only really heard about photos and signings from the last con (and thats not my bag)

so what else goes down - as i've never been to anything like this - any discussions or partying??

'forgive my rudeness. i cannot abide useless people'

Not as much discussion as you'd might think though (or at least within my earshot), except of course with the guests.

Is there partying? Ha!

Serenity was my first convention and I came with the usual preconceptions, pretty much all of which were blown out of the water. It probably helps that practically every attendee was rather fabulous.

mwahahahahahahaha

Becs my girl, you sound like a woman after my own heart, first bookmarks now this, I could kiss you in fact I think I will

I too do not do photos or signings - I will make an exception for Joss if he ever goes (I am begging any God which will listen to send him). To be honest, I rarely attend the talks (I managed two at Serenity though - very imrpessive for me) and visit the dealers room only once or twice during the whole thing.

So, you maybe asking, why do I go?

PARTY PARTY PARTY

Here is my usual pattern for a con, give or take a few hours either side:

Friday: arrive at 4ish, catch up with friends at the bar, have dinner with friends, get changed around 9 or 10 and go to the party around 11. PARTY until antime between 3 and 6 am (if 6 I go straight to breakfast)

Saturday and Sunday: Have breakfast, go back to bed, sleep and do nothing until around 1pm, get ready, meet friends eat, drink, chat, laugh, get changed around 9 or 10 and (see Friday)

I don't know what other people think but I always reckon there are two main groups at cons although they obviously overlap considerably:
1) Those that go mainly to see guest talks, gest autographs and generally meet the BDH
2) Those who go to party in an environment totally unlike everything else on Earth where it is safe, non-judgemental, and you can be totally sure that you will have something in common with everyone else there.

I fall into the second category....join me!

I'm a floater!

Or, overlapper!

I met a really nice group of 6 or 7 who invited me to stay with them at the next con, and who seem to know all the Starfury lot. And it'll be nice to see them again.

And hopefully I'll get to talk to more FFN people this time round too.

Woohoo!

Fray, the bar it is

By the time the con comes I hope to corrupt everyone to the dark-side of the con, or at least the night-time.

Oh, and PR, give it about 5 cons and I reckon you will have joined the dark-side. You are such a party-animal!

Baaar.... baaaar....

And anything else I can get to. Talks, if poss, photo ops and signings with those I have yet to get (I've started so I might as well finish) and lots of general milling around and talking to folks.

That's my plan. Such as it is; my plans often make a certain captain's plans look like they are highly successful and always go off without a hitch.
