Eastercon 2010 - London - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Nesacat · 3rd February 2010, 05:00 AM

Eastercon 2010 - Odyssey 2010 will be held at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel, London from April 2-5.

Odyssey 2010

Anyone going? Care to try and meet up?

GOLLUM · 3rd February 2010, 05:07 AM

Sadly no but I still live in hope for WorldCon....

It's over 20 years since I've been to London, so combining a Con with a wander through such a Literary mecca would be a genuine high point.

At this stage Eastercon 2012 or 2013 is a possibility

Nesacat · 3rd February 2010, 05:10 AM

Am still hoping for Worldcon ... we'll see how it goes.

GOLLUM · 3rd February 2010, 05:15 AM

Yes, I appreciate that you are trying your best there.

In the meantime enjoy Eastercon!

BTW, you should have told me about Bones, they had a heavily discounted sale here recently incl. Volumes 1-9.......

Nesacat · 3rd February 2010, 05:20 AM

Am still looking for Bone 4 and 9. Might have to finally get it in the UK or Amsterdam.

GOLLUM · 3rd February 2010, 05:29 AM

Off-topic: I'm sure you'll track down a copy.

The sale also featured the rather rare and exquisitely produced single volume gold-gilt leather bound edition of the Complete Bone. Needless to say that was not on discount.

I presume you are aware there has been a TPB edn. of the Complete Bone available for some time now on the net? It may be cheaper to get that, albeit the production quality will suffer.

I'm going with a pal of mine. If I see a badge saying Nesacat I'll be sure to wave hello.

GOLLUM · 3rd February 2010, 10:13 AM

Any chance of smuggling me in?

J-WO · 3rd February 2010, 11:19 AM

Well, I always make space in my bag for all the books I'm likely to buy. Can you disguise yourself as a pair of socks?

GOLLUM · 3rd February 2010, 11:21 AM

Socks are my specialty....

J-WO · 3rd February 2010, 11:28 AM

If I was Ursa Major I'd say something like 'that's darn terrific'. Only funnier.

Nesacat · 3rd February 2010, 01:33 PM

My badge will say Feline

Look for the very tall Morpheus (his badge will say BFG) and you ought to be able to find me around.

GOLLUM · 3rd February 2010, 01:56 PM

Still lurking hey?.....

Nesacat · 3rd February 2010, 02:09 PM

and you my Preciouss .... sharing my shadows I see.

We did meet several Chroners? Chronics? last Eastercon and that was quite fun. I'd love to meet more. And since it's in London this time, am hoping more people will make it.

Very Lovecraftian hotel to boot with its seemingly endless corridors. Plus they tend to not run out of mushrooms, which seems to be a very important consideration.

Well you should know...

Night Nesa.
