Guys, I booked my Loncon hostel.

Weeks late, so it's nowhere near the con site (it's somewhere near Canary Wharf instead), but the good thing about that is that it's actually pretty fucking cheap (and probably horrible, but never mind that, I'll be at the con all day anyway ( Read more... )

Hello! I check LJ! Are you in London in August? It sounds like you'll be staying near where I live! Unfortunately it's boyfriend's brother's wedding that weekend or we could put you up :-(. I guess you're likely to be pretty busy with con things? Likely to be any scope for dinner or something on the Thursday night? No worries if not, will catch you next time :-). xxx P.S. Congratulations on job and things!

Hiya! hmpf July 13 2014, 11:38:55 UTC

Yes! I'll *probably* be in London for Worldcon (my first since 2005), but really only for that, because technically I can't even get those five days plus two days travel time off from work (disadvantages of being really new at a company: you can't get much time off yet....) and I'll have to give them the entirety of the rest of "my" August to get those days (and also, I don't even know yet if that will work - will only find out in a week or two). Uhm... I haven't looked at the programme yet, will have to do that before I can say if/when I'll be available on any evening. Worldcon is notoriously packed with programming (there's usually around 12 programmme tracks at any time of day, except for the later night hours and very early morning, and I'm usually interested in at least three or four of these, lol) - but I do have to eat, too, after all, and thus may want to take breaks. ;-) I have to check the programme, though ( ... )

Check my latest post, my plans have changed somewhat, in a possibly useful direction! Sorry, really tired - blergh day at work and all.

Hello!!

Right, you are light on details in your post. My situation is that boyfriend's brother is getting married that weekend so most of it will be given over to the many and diverse family celebrations that entails. It definitely knocks out Friday night and all of Sunday - there may be a chink in the Saturday, I am making enquiries. I am defo free that Thursday but that may not be any use to you! Would be lovely to see you but c'est la vie if our horoscopes don't align for this one :-D xx

How early do you have to get up on Friday? ;-) That is to say: might a late dinner on Thursday work for you? The last programme item I somewhat urgently want to see ends at nine in the evening. I'll be at the ExCel/London Convention Centre (Docklands), so maybe we could meet after that, perhaps somewhere near there so as to save time, and have dinner together? I don't know anything about the culinary situation there, though ( ... )
