Eastercon 2010 - London

[Nesacat]

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]

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]

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

 

[GOLLUM]

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]

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

 

[GOLLUM]

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]

Any chance of smuggling me in?

 

[J-WO]

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]

Socks are my specialty....

 

[J-WO]

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

 

[Nesacat]

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]

Still lurking hey?.....

 

[Nesacat]

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.

 

[GOLLUM]

Well you should know...

Night Nesa.

 

[Tirellan]

I'll be there.
There is a free writers workshop on the Saturday, but you do need to apply for it in advance

 

[Ian Whates]

For anyone who is going, I'll be launching several books on the Friday, 6.00pm. Free wine, and come and meet some authors!

I know Ian Watson, Eric Brown, Adam Roberts, Keith Brooke, Michael Cobley, Andy Remic, Una McCormack and myself will all be present; not sure who else as yet.

 

[Nesacat]

Yay Ian ... will be there.

 

[Morpheus42]

ohhh, a flock of authors .... or is it a gaggle?..... troop? barrel? army? clutch?

 

[J-WO]

A Skinful, If they're at the bar.

My badge, BTW, will bear the imaginative moniker- 'Jim Worrad'.
