[Nesacat]

The draft programme is up and I think I need to clone myself.

Programme

 

[J-WO]

Squee! Woot-woot!

 

[Winters_Sorrow]

"Blakes 7 drinking game" - I may have to go just for that...

 

[Tirellan]

You've got about a week before the writing workshop closes to applications

 

[Toby Frost]

Despite being horribly busy and somewhat broke, I'm definately considering it...

 

[J-WO]

Well, there's someone calling themselves 'Lemmingman' on the membership list, TT. Perhaps its an actual Yullian...

 

[Nesacat]

TT ... will be great to see you again.

Winters Sorrow ... there's also whiskey tasting I believe

You're not making it easy for me not to go here, Nesa

I'm in similar straights to Toby. Hmm. Will have a long hard look at finances and see what I can manage.

 

[Ian Whates]

Feeble excuses, Toby, neither of which make you unusual, let alone unique... See you there!

 

[Nesacat]

I hope you both make it as then I'll get to see the one again and meet the other. Am very tempted to offer all and sundry crash space but from experience the rooms are way tiny.

 

[J-WO]

The new Dr Who is on telly April 3rd. Do you think they'll put a big screen up or something? Otherwise, things may go quiet because everyone's gone to their rooms.

Be great if they had it on in the bar- everyone cheering like its the footie.

 

[Nesacat]

I can't remember if there were tellies in the bar but there are programme items for the screening of films. Maybe something could be done about using that room and the equipment they have to screen Dr Who.

 

[J-WO]

They'll be a riot if they don't, I tell ya! And Fanboys can give one helluva bite.

I'd be astonished if they don't. It's become something of a tradition at Eastercon.

Dr Who made it's return (Christopher Eccleston's first episode) during my first ever Eastercon, and it was quite an amazing atmosphere; sitting in a room full of SF fans, waiting for the return of this iconic show. Especially when, with the tension at its highest, somebody passed round a bag of jelly babies.

 

[Nesacat]

Ohh yes do remember that. That was your first con It was indeed a lot fun fun. The jelly babies seemed absolutely appropriate at the time.

 

[J-WO]

Is anyone else having problems downloading the new progress report from the Eastercon site?

 

[Nesacat]

I've managed to download it ... took some time but it's all here now. I didn't download the print version though.

 

[Toby Frost]

Ok, I'm in. I'll be there on Saturday and Sunday. If anyone wants to say hello my name will be on my badge.

 

[Susan Boulton]

Blank, blank rail strike! Can get there ok, but if the strike is on, hubby is going to have to come down and pick us up on the Tuesday morning, and then take daughter back to Uni, as she is in the middle of her dissertation, and only having a break to go to Eastercon.

 

[Nesacat]

Will be there tomorrow evening at the latest with Morpheus. We're staying at the Radisson and I think we're having dinner at the hotel. See you all there. My badge name is Feline and Morpheus is BFG.
