SF events - Sept-Dec 2005 UK

[Brian G Turner]

I need to know of any interesting SF events happening over the next 3 months - any mainstream movie releases, big events, anything that the mainstream media might be interested in covering. Also needs to be in the UK - sorry!

Thanks for the headsup, but it's not quite got the drama I'm looking for - premiers, major cons, etc.

If it helps, I need something that TV will like.

 

[Princess Ivy]

don't know if this'll help, it seems to occur quite often, the latest is for October 29-30

and this one holds links to both a buffy and firefly convention, one in blackpool and the other in London

[Brian G Turner]

Thanks for the recommendations - London Expo especially looks good - I've put Mark Robson and yourself forward for it to Rahnak, with myself as a third option just in case.

 

[Princess Ivy]

sounds good babe

 

[Rane Longfox]

As a point of complete uninterest, I hear that at Expo, the new "Soltice Park" complex where I'm gonna be working will be heavily advertised.

Bet you're so excited now

 

[Princess Ivy]

oh yes, jumping

 

[Rane Longfox]

Knew I could count on you

Brian, Newcon3 is happening on 1-2 Oct in Northampton: http://www.serpens-argenteus.com/newcon3/

Also, the British Fantasy Convention is on the same weekend from 30 Sep to 2 Oct in Walsall: http://www.britishfantasysociety.org.uk/fcon/index.htm

I intend to do a day at each. I'll be participating as a panel member in Northampton on the Sunday morning, but am just going to Walsall for a nose around. I hope this is useful.

 

[Brian G Turner]

Did our friend at Grenada send you an e-mail??

 

[Mark Robson]

Did our friend at Grenada send you an e-mail??

No. I'm afraid not. However, I'm in contact with the national press now due to the consequences of the other email I sent you. I think you'll be seeing something fairly soon. I'll let you know when it's likely to come out.

This look interesting, but far too expensive for me

 

[Mark Robson]

That's a shame, Rune. It would have been nice to meet you. I'm off to see the Princess in Birmingham soon! It's very exciting ... my daughter is very jealous of me going to meet a 'real' Princess!

 

[Princess Ivy]

my daughter is also excited that i'll be meeting a real writer (obviously i'm not). Looking forward babe, but be warned, so are the rest of the group. poems at the ready . on the plus side, we've a costa opening up, so you might be able to get a decent non micki D's cup

Hurrah! (Will be wearing my anti-bad poetry deflection sunglasses and carrying a stun gun to stop the really persistent ones!) Hey, I might even be famous by then - The Independent are going to be running a story on me towards the end of the week. You know the sort of thing - "Tall, dashing, devilishly handsome young man writes brilliant work of fiction set to blow the world away"!!! Will no doubt start a new thread on my author page when it has been released - not that I'm self obsessed, or vain, or anything like that, of course. It's just that my public need to know ...

Your public needs to know what, that you are set to blow the world away? Nice warning. Where's a Vogon ship when you need one!!!

One of these days I'll get to one of these conventions

 

[Princess Ivy]

checked out the costa, reasearch only of course, you can get your late, but first it's the dreadful stuff of the centre. btw: Chris says he'll send you info on how to get there, but give me a shout if you need real directions or you might end up in scunthorpe!
