Eastercon 2008, Orbital

I might be going. I certainly hope to. I just have a long, established hisory of buying tickets to events then having to drop out at the last minute ;)
 
I'll be going -- finally got around to booking a B&B and paying for my flight yesterday.

I'll be the slightly lost-looking, bespectacled Swede with the Lovecraft-themed T-shirt (and had the season been right, I'd have worn my black convention kilt as well).


There'll be quite a bunch of Swedes there, including more of us from Gothenburg.
 
Maybe we ought to knock up a sheet of stickers that people can stick on their badges to show they're members of sffchronicles. Just the logo or something. If we ask nicely, I'm sure the people running the con would be happy to have them on the registration desk - so you can stick one on when you arrive.

That would be a great idea, Ian. It would be good to have something by which to identify each other.

I'm likely to make an appearance on the Friday. Can't stop for the whole thing unfortunately, (Easter is so early this year that it falls on my wife's birthday weekend) but have just asked my Publishers to accept the invitation to take part on a panel ... providing it's scheduled on the Friday!
 
Great news that you're likely to be there, Mark. I'm going to be launching certainly one and in all probability two books at Eastercon, and by the look of things, the launch party is likely to be on the Friday, immediately before the official opening ceremony, so come along for a free glass of wine or two! :)

Only problem is that the program isn't kicking off until Friday evening, so it seems doubtful they'll be running too many full panel items on the Friday -- they're more likely to happen on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
 
Who has access to a colour printer, then? Who wants to knock up a sheet of small stickers (no more than 0.5cm in diameter should be sufficient) featuring the site logo? Sadly, I only have a B&W laser printer.

Only stickers :eek: Gives a whole new meaning to masquerade costumes certainly.

Stickers are a very good idea especially with people wandering around all over the place.

Some people might find them appealing, Nesa. :eek::rolleyes::D
 
Confirmed yesterday - purchased my day membership for Friday. My panel event "Don't Give Up the Day Job" will be on the Friday evening at 6pm. Hope to catch up with some of you there.

:)

You've got some wonderful cover art on those books Ian. Could you keep one of each for me please? I'll try and be there for the launch, though I would like to be at Mark's panel too.

Thanks, Nesa -- must confess, I'm delighted with the way both books have turned out. I'll certainly keep you copies. It would be great to see you at the launch, but I quite understand if not -- I'd like to see Mark's panel too. Look forward to meeting you at some point over the weekend in any case.
 
Just noticed this

How much is it? It doesn't seem to say unless I actually book it. ( I'm probably being blind again!)
