Nice to meet you too!

("almost" as in I take care of her as if she were mine but I don't own her and I only pay the "running costs" like hoof grease)

It`s gonna be soo expensive, I`m gonna have to rob a bank. still, got to be there, haven`t been to a con since ... well before some of you were born :) (just kidding, it has been a while).
Is there anybody else in the same situation? finding the price of hotel expensive for a single person and would like to share the cost of the hotel room? email me for conatact details (TheOne`AT`Blueyonder.co.uk). I really want to stay the 3 days (Friday, Saturday & Sunday).

p.s. Does anybody know if replica weapons are allowed in the hotel

Zol, why don't you post some information about yourself and perhaps we'll find someone who is looking for a compatible Serenity Con roomie?

Just a suggestion

Zol, why not post on the Serenity thread in the Starfury message board for a roomie?

As for replica weapons, not exactly frowned upon but might be difficult if you're flying into Heathrow from another part of the U.K. Mind you, having heard recently about the wonderful "security" at Heathrow, you probably could fly in carrying a replica - frightening thought! Having said that, we don't get as many replica weapons as we used to, so you may be a bit out of place.

If you're flying in at all, I don't think you'd be able to get it through to Heathrow, lol.... having tried the same thing.

That said, if not, call the Thistle, explain the circumstances, and ask?

Thanks Guys,

I live in the UK so flying is not a problem - I just don`t want to commute 100+ miles each day (although it would be the cheapest option - but the holstered weapon might be a bit of a problem

Here`s some personal details - I`m a 36 year old male and live in Gloucestershire. I have a fast car (or is that just a fast driver?

I`m hoping that I`ll have a suitable costume done in the 4 months before the con, I`ve already made a good start with some great buys.

Anyway, must book the con, and figure out the accomodation (I`m thinking maybe if there is a Premier Lodge nearby that might also be an option - time to do some googleing)

Cheers,

Zol. (Darin)
