And I'll be the loopy teenager, also in glasses, who will very likely be wearing something orange and probably my dinosaur necklace (reminds me of my love of dinosaurs

)! And also masquerading under a different name!

Just seen this discussion and might try to get along.

I will have been in Nottingham the week before though for a 3 day conference on traffic signals.

Does the fantasycon have a free bar for three days?

One company sponsors the bar, another puts wine on the table for the meals and a champagne reception on the middle day. Another sponsors the free bottles of water during the day - needed after the free bar the night before!

A couple of years ago we managed to drink the on-site bar dry...

First the tap lager and beer, then the bottled beers and we were working our way through the alcopops at one point....the last one was hard going but we had to try.

I presented a paper a few years ago - got to bed at 4 am the night before but at least I wasn't on til the 3:30pm slot...got there at 9 to be told that a resuffle had put me on at 10 am instead!

Hope to be there for the Saturday as usual.

No but you do get a free drink or two at the book launches.

And I have lost count the amount of times at Fantasycons we have drunk the bar dry and on occasions went for breakfast because the bar closed, last year being the latest one.

You will be easy enough to spot we will just get someone to go around offering free PEANUT BUTTER SARNIES AND COFFEE,THEN WATCH WHAT ORANGE CLAD PERSON MAKES A RUNNER FOR THE DOOR.

SJAB · 15th September 2007, 04:35 PM

Yep, got a confirmation email earlier about both the convention and the booking for the hotel. It's all sorted now, woop! Roll on Thursday! Very much looking forward to meeting Chronners there...and I finally get to meet the Green One in his human form

Woo HOO!

pyan · 15th September 2007, 09:24 PM

Yep, got mine too...Now all I have to decide whether or not to show myself at the pick-up point, or quietly slide away hidden by my newspaper.....
