[London] Picocon '07

Anyone out there on my F-List going to Picocon on Saturday (17th)? Charlie Stross is one of the guests of honour.

I might still not make it myself, but I know some people who are considering going, and thought I'd see if anyone else was.

[livejournal.com profile] makyo has just posted about this and will be going...

Aye - he was one of the people I knew who was going. [grin] I was just wondering who else I knew might be there. [grin]

Thought you might've known one of the GOHs - had [livejournal.com profile] fjm left York by the time you arrived?

[identity profile] d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com 2007-02-12 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
I think he had. However, he does seem to have an unnecessary number of my fandom acquaintances on his f-list ...

You definitely didn't overlap in that case - FJM is most definitely not a 'he' ;)

Yes!

Myself, [livejournal.com profile] damerell, [livejournal.com profile] ceb and [livejournal.com profile] naath are going to be there.

[livejournal.com profile] damerell will be taking part in Not A Fish Fight.

If you are very lucky I will show you my desk ;)

Is damerell representing Oxford or Cambirdge, by the way? You see, we already have someone from Cambridge, and if that's not him, then this will be first actual tri-varsity fish duel (iirc, Oxford have never managed to send a representative before).

[identity profile] damerell.livejournal.com 2007-02-12 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oxford had someone in 2004. I trounced him.

I think I am your someone from Cambridge - no-one else in CUSFS is dumb enough.

I will be pimping my splendid con, which everyone should come to:

I'll be along, although the fact that they now seem to invite authors who I want to listen to, which keeps me out of the bar, is a disturbing development.

What a peculiar concept! [grin]

I'll be there.

[identity profile] bugshaw.livejournal.com 2007-02-12 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Me too.

[identity profile] gothicat.livejournal.com 2007-02-12 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
ooh I have the day off that day... I may just head over :)

[identity profile] dwagon.livejournal.com 2007-02-12 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
Given that I'm meant to be manning the desk for part of the day, I really should be there :).

[identity profile] d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com 2007-02-12 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
[grin] Thought that you might be!

I am considering going. Would you believe that I've never attended a con before?

[identity profile] wechsler.livejournal.com 2007-02-12 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Damnit, that's now 3 things I'm supposed to be doing at once. At *least*.

[identity profile] d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com 2007-02-12 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I can empathise!

Dur... [g]

You! At a Picocon!

It would be lovely to see you, darling :-)
You might even get a copy of my fanzine [grin]

[identity profile] d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com 2007-02-15 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
I only said I might be there! [grin] I suspect that other scheduling will conspire. I'm not really a fandom person, honest¹

¹ Romantic liaisons and wedding DJing notwithstanding. [grin]
