Eastercon after all…

Having spent the last six months telling various folks that Jo and I won't be going to Eastercon this year for one reason or another, we've had a change of heart. Seeing as Chester is just an hour down the road from us on a good day, we've decided that we're going to invest in a day pass each and nip down for the Saturday session.

So if anyone is going to be around on the Saturday who particularly wants to say hello for any reason, do let me know and I'll make a point of keeping an eye out for you and we can sit and have a natter. And I'll be driving there and back on the day, so it would be a perfect time to offer to buy me a drink - should you have the strange urge to do so - safe in the knowledge that the worst I can do is ask for an orange juice...

Edit: Thanks to Eddie C for pointing out (within 20 mins of my posting) that I'd put the link to the old, defunct Eastercon. D'oh! More caffeine needed, I reckon...

Those are incorrect site links. Convoy is the old, defunct 07 eastercon. The new 2007 Eastercon is Contemplation, web site is http://contemplation.conventions.org.uk/

D'oh! Talk about amateur hour... :)

Thanks for pulling me up on that one Eddie. Logo and links now updated. And I'll be dosing myself up with fresh coffee imminently...

I'll be there -- would be nice to finally say hello in person!

Likewise - it'd be a pleasure to meet you, old chap. Look out for a shabby hippy with bad taste in cowboy shirts...

Niall mate, it will indeed be good to meet at last. I have a feeling we passed on the stairs at P'Con a couple of years ago, but you were in a hurry and we were checking out... so yeah, let's say hi properly.

And Paul, it would definitely be good to talk to you too, so I'll make sure to keep an eye out for scruffy cowboy-shirted hippies. I'll be the bloke dressed a la Johnny Cash (mostly in black, although probably without the wing-tip collars) asking every hippy in the room if they're Paul Raven... :)
