S2C and I are off on the boat in the morning to go to Coventry. I know we are a day early - as a committee member it is nice to be there to welcome everyone, but we can't get any earlier than 16.30. So we go a day early, meet up with fellow committee members Gillo and Daiseechain, have a lie-in on Friday morning and then sort out break-times and things with the hotel staff on Friday morning - before retiring to the bar ready to greet everyone else as they arrive on Friday afternoon!

I will have time on the boat to put together a Powerpoint presentation with my headers on - and possibly the odd illustration... the talk is more or less written.

We will doubtless be blogging more or less live on the community - quite possibly including our thoughts on Eurovision through a slightly alcoholic haze...

If I don't post anything here over the weekend, we should be home on our small island on Monday evening.

I'm sure we will - time spent with fellow geeks is always time well spent. Especially when it also includes wine and food...

It should be a nice trip - the weather is good. And the company will be good once we arrive, too.

We are really looking forward to it. Talking to people who are fellow geeks and fanfic writers is always fun.

It is always fun to meet up with so many fellow LJers. As you know, of course.

I DO know.

Have a wonderful time. Going a day early sounds like a very good idea.

We have the chance to gossip to Gill and make sure everything is organised so that we can enjoy the event ourselves. And enjoy it we will!

Have a good journey! See you there mid-afternoon!

Are we watching the Eurovision?

Date: 23/05/2012 09:46 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] curiouswombat.livejournal.com
We most certainly are. Anyone who doesn't want to can do something else - but Eurovision is a whole fandom in its own right and is to be recognised as such!

Absolutely! I was going to have words about picking the weekend of the contest and the Monaco Grand Prix!

I have a feeling we might be ensconced in the bar on Sunday afternoon until the Grand Prix is over...

Jolly good!

Oh, thank god.

I was totally dismayed to realise this week I was going to miss my normal yearly Eurovision snark party, but this sounds just as wonderful.

Moldova and the trumpet man forever!

I think we should include it in our fandoms next year... Daiseechain and I considered the possibility of there being RP fic out there for it - there must be, surely? But then my mind went to Engelbert Humperdink and the Russian Grannies...

I haven't quite shaken the image yet!

I will watch the Community for your blogs. Have a fabulous time. It sounds wonderful :)

It should be very good fun. I am quoting some of the stuff you said to me in answer to my query on Faerie a while ago, in my talk.

Aww - that's so nice. Hope it made sense! O_O Obviously it's very subjective, and only my opinion.

We will doubtless start blogging there soon - and the talks will eventually be podcast.

It should be - and next year it should be a bit later again so maybe you can come.

Also - Gill and I are having a serious chat about Tolkien 2012 whilst we are in Coventry.

When is Launch day?

From: [identity profile] inzilbeth-liz.livejournal.com
It starts on Thursday 16th August and finishes on 20th but you can come for any number of days or even just turn up and register on the day. Do let me know if you can come and we'll definitely meet up.

We will see you there!!

I'm sure we will - meeting up with fellow geeks and LJ folk is always fun.

I know that you and S2C will have a wonderful time.

It is always such fun - it is the 'not having to describe things to people because they know what you are talking about already' part as much as anything else, I think.

Have fun! :))) *hugs*

We will! We are in Coventry now and the first of the others will be arriving soon.

Have a wonderful time! One day I will actually get there.

Well you could just jump on a train in the morning ... it's not THAT far from your house to Coventry... we don't start till 10.00 am!

Arrgh, can't now, too many commitments ferrying the Small People around. Serves me right for hiding grumpily in a Slough of Despond for all of April/May. I shall track the comm and watch the podcasts and enjoy it vicariously!
