Oh, I've been meaning to do a Gally (Gallifrey One, the greatest Doctor Who convention in the world) report for, uh, two months now? A long time anyway. In my head it was a beautiful thing, detailed, and effervescent and lengthy. I think I'm going to manage one of those things. For this post will…
A I type I keep glancing up at the window to make sure the land hasn't been covered in a sheet of white. Storm Ciara has hit the UK and it's a bit, uh, blustery out. And cold. And sleety. And snowy. I'm off to Glasgow later today, where I'm flying from tomorrow, but there's…
A timely con report! Well, almost timely. Eastercon, aka Mancunicon, took place pretty early this year, since it takes place (clue in the name) over the Easter weekend. Also, (more name clues) it was in Manchester aka NORTHERER THAN LONDON, YAY. So my travel time from home was delightfully modest.Also, Manchester is a little bit…
Afternoon, readers! I'm back home after a super lovely Eastercon, which will forever be etched into my memory as THE V FIRST TIME I PLAYED DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS. That's going to get a whole blog entry of its very own, just so I can keep all the embarrassing capslock of ridiculous glee to one space.…
I'll be in Manchester this weekend at Eastercon (aka the British National Science Fiction Convention), enjoying all the sciffy related goodness, and being on some panels, which are: Little-Known British SF TV Shows of the 1950s to 1970s Saturday 17:30 - 18:30, Room 6 (Hilton Deansgate) You might think you really know your early TV,…
February was A Month. By which I mean it was quite busy and great, and also bloody awful and sad. The greatness came muchly from the Gallifrey One convention, which was smashing and while I have The Best of Intentions of writing some manner of conreport, I have met myself and my ability to regularly…
In a few minutes I'm starting the first leg of my epic journey to Gallifrey One. It's particularly epic this year as thanks to a major bridge being out for at least the next month, and a change in airport, it's become rather more complicated. I would be worried except I actually know where stuff…
Mmm, books. There were many books at Fantasycon, and many freebies, but I was v conscious of the six hour train journey and limited luggage space, so I tried to be strict with self and was less so than I intended but never mind. Books! (Also, cons that give out canvas tote bags with the…
I'm off to Fantasycon tomorrow, which is an Exciting Journey that takes me to places of the country I have never been (Nottingham!), and also makes me change trains like fifty times (three, but still). The programme looks rather spiffy, and I shall be contributing a wee part as I'm on a Doctor Who panel…
