Back to the ForumAt times that could be the other way around "go home!" On the whole, an excellent Con but too tired to type right now... need sleep... hate driving...

After the End of Days - the report
Would do on for ages giving the full account of the weekend - so will leave others to put bits and pieces in, and put the full write up in my journal.
The guests were superb (tho i think Andy Hallett may need to learn some new songs
and the parties cool. Tho the weather was dire, and i had no voice for karaoke on sunday 
#huge hugs# to all those that were there, especially Koala,Kate,Evil Willow, Judith,Wylie,Yvonne, Sydney, Taz,Slaughtered Lambs,PoF,Spike (do i get the £100?,Miss Edith, Redwitch,Pegasus and hubby,Jola and Len,Desire, Velvet Glove, Lioness,Sloopy, Ed, Phil and Spikeo.
Should have piccies sorted tomorrow, tho i will be getting a lay in to catch up on the lack of sleep this weekend (thank mercies for Red Bull!!
)

Got home after a stop off at Collectormania and just about had the energy to ring for a pizza last night.
It was good to see people again (even though I couldn't spend loads of time with you all) and it was *such* a blast. More later, when I've sorted myself out!

not meaning to be a bee-atch but anyone thinking of contacting Watchdog in reguards to the crappy hotel and the ridiculos prices they charge??! maybe if enough people say something (i mean come on it WAS horrendus) they'll sort themselves out and maybe next year it'll be a lot nicer place to stay in for everybody.

Well, I'd have to agree about the crapness of the hotel. At one point I bumped into Nicole Bilderback in the ladies toilets off the main hall where it absolutely stank and was in a complete state. I was really embarrassed, and thought that it reflected badly on us, although was not our fault!! The room I had was really grim, and soooooo not worth £100 a night!
However that said it was my first Con and it was great to meet the guests, although the queues and organisation could perhaps have been better (especially when buying photo tickets, but that's another story!). Others have told me that with less attendees it is an improved experience.
So I'm looking forward to the Harvest now as I met some great friends at EOD and can't wait to see them again there!

I can also add my name to the complaints about the hotel. The toilets were rank and had no paper 
Organisation was a little shaky, but I think on the whole it wasn't bad. Looking forward to Hyperion now - 800 tickets, so should be better.
By the way - con photos HERE

Had a great time!!! I got a bit sdtressed out with all the queues that I ended up in, and the auto queue was a bit random at times, but conmsidering the size of the thing, I thought it was organised well. I managed to get all the autos I wanted (I got through all the groups more or less!) and I LOVED the cheerleader costumes on the Saturday (?) night guys!
SPIKE - Gummie Bears are perhaps not the best thing to use as nipples
PoF - Good to see you again mate! Love the Lara Croft outfit!
Can't think of anything else right now...am stressed cos I've come back to uni with an essay to do for Friday
Had a class weekend though

Feeling slightly more with it now but am still soooooo tired from the weekend.
All I can say is "What a blast" I had *such* fun even though I was running around like a headless chicken all the weekend. I think that I worked out the whole weekend me and Len must have had about 4 hours sleep a night and we worked in excess of 54 hours the whole weekend
Would I do it again? HELL YEAH!!
I'm just sorry I didn't get alot of time to see you guys Big Hello's to you all. I'm not going to list names as I'm sure I'll miss someone out and I don't want to do that.
Costumes were FAB Everyone looked amazing.
Photos are Here
Oh and on a sidenote did anyone get pics of the Guest Liaisons up on stage on the Sunday Night making total prats out of themselves
