§ Collecto-London: So, I know we're all still in recovery mode from The Hub3, but I was wondering if anybody had started making plans about Collecto-London yet? Ideally I'd like to know which days people are planning to stay in London. I know the Saturday evening is a given, but is anyone planning to stay another night either before/after this one

No plans made yet for Collecto London. Can definitely stay Friday and Saturday night. May be able to stay Sunday night too but would have to leave about 10ish on Monday since I have class at 11.15 (or call in sick... depending on how well college is going at that point in time). If everyone is staying Sunday night though I can do that provided I remember to bring books with me so I don't have to go home for them!

Have not booked for the Hub 4 yet either. But yay it's in my easter break. Just waiting for Dawn so we can book together. :D

Aww I saw your resignation. I don't blame you. I'm still enjoying it, I love the whole craziness and spotting the posts that are going to cause wank and the occasional bit of good fic I come across, but I'm not surprised after all this time you're sick of it.

[cs_whitewolf]

Awesome! It'd be so much easier for me if I came up on the Friday and left the Monday, so my real question was who was going to be doing that and could we room share XD hehe. you up for room sharing? just lemme know if you're def up for staying till the Monday :)

lucky thing! Technically my rota was changed so that if I ever wanted a weekend off I would be able to get it as someone would always be working to cover Saturday's with me. That plan has kind of gone tits up so I'm in a really unsure place right now :S ugh.

yeah. man. I've been thinking about it for a while now and it really was getting to a point where I was resenting it more than anything. I'm not leaving the newsletter entirely, but I definitely need a break from the fandom side of everything. At least you can still take pleasure out of the crazy ;D hehe

[_stolendreams_]

Of course I'm up for room sharing! XD
Well Friday is no problem since I have Friday's off anyway XD. I'll say yes to staying Sunday night, will have to head off early Monday morning though - if this plan entirely falls through due to trains or some other unforeseen circumstance (academic review meeting next week. EEP) I'll still happily pay my share of the room for Sunday night even if I don't sleep in it ;)

Ugh. Stupid work. Beg the boss lady. Tell her you need a decision NOW so you can book tickets.

I really don't blame you. I admit there are times when I look at it and go wtf why am I doing this? But then I see a post by one of the resident crazies, or I stumble across good fic (found some the other week, I cheered) or something similar and it's great.

[cs_whitewolf]

That's no bother, I'll need to leave relatively early Monday too :) or, failing that, rather late on the Sunday!

zeitheist is looking for roomies too, you won't mind sharing with her too, will you?

I'm trying to find cheap places to stay atm, but not much luck. Do you know where we stayed last time? That's only a tube station away from Olympia according to the map and was cheap XD

lol, at least you're still being kept amused. I've lost the ability to spot the good fic anymore which made it all the more depressing XD

[timecake]

Well I'm staying in the EasyHotel Earls Court, it's cheapish and good if you don't mind orange walls!

And I'll be in London from Friday - Monday :D

I'm in a quandry about my Hub 4 ticket too D:
I really really want to go Gold but I'm afraid they'll sell out before I gather the funds!

[cs_whitewolf]

ta for the link! It's definitely going onto my list of potential places to stay- it is very orange though, isn't it? XD

Whoop! That is awesome news. It'll be so much easier for me to do the same and save panicing about travelling on the days :)

ugh, you and me both. I'm trying (and failing) not to spend money right now, but if my boss gives me the go ahead It'll just have to go on my card like everything else XD haha

[timecake]

Yes unbearably orange.
But at £56 a night, I can deal!

Omg I know.
Every time I spend money, I'm like "I could have used that to pay for a Hub ticket or spending money for Vancon D:"

[cs_whitewolf]

lol. Looks like they only have 2-bed "rooms" left, will keep looking (I think I need at least a 4-bed room!)

ugh. why do we need money!? fangirling should be free. (sent you an email, btw, lemme know if you get it okay :D)

[zeitheist]

I'm considering staying over in London Friday and Saturday night, actually, even though I'm fairly close as it is. It'll just be easier than trying to catch the first train out in order to get there early. I'd have to find somewhere cheap to stay, though! Or a roommate, but frankly I'd settle for staying somewhere with other fangirls.

ps. I'm going to make the halol post when I get back from this weekend. OMG.

[cs_whitewolf]

I'm definitely hoping to stay the Fri/Sat and possibly now the Sun too since I see others planning to also. You're totally welcome to roomshare with me and whoever else if you're up for it? :)

eeee halols XD this is going to be epic! wings? XD XD XD

[zeitheist]

Oooh! I would totally be up to roomshare as long as it doesn't cost too much (I have no MONEY D:). Keep me in the loop bb! ♥

OMG I could wear my enormous cardboard wings. Dare I? I want to unnerve Misha, not totally freak him the fuck out...

[cs_whitewolf]

I will defo keep you in the loop :) ♥

XD if we do wings I'll prolly just be wearing the ones I wore to Asylum (baby wings!) but I'm all for you unnerving him even more than our request is bound to XD XD XD hehehe.

[cs_whitewolf]

lol this is why I do not bother with the menfolk XD

jammy bugger XD I don't want to go booking anything till I know for certain (what's this about having to pay upfront and not being able to cancel rooms?!)

YOU CAN BET YOUR ARSE I'LL BE KICKING IT!!! HEH.

apparently she likes the wank potential too much still XD hehe. I just need to take a break from the whole thing before I go nuclear on half of the fandom!

[cs_whitewolf]

WHERE IS YOUR WRI-MO WOMAN?!

(also, am booking accomadation for Collecto-London soon, under £30 each for three nights if you want in, lemme know either way asap!)

[indiefairy]

Pete and I are coming in early on Sat, staying at the Hilton next door overnight and leaving sunday after the event.

::crosses fingers::

and erm I'm still up for doing it, though that may be failtastic XD

also totally don't blame you. I barely look at the TW related posts on my flist, having to do the newsletter must drive you nuts.

[cs_whitewolf]

Awesome! ...I assume it's probably ridiculous money, but how much is the hilton charging for a night?

XD I'm not going to let you fail! ::cracks whip::

I've defriended pretty much every TW comm I was a member of. Just keeping the comms I mod and the main TW comm on the off chance I want to know what's going on. It's coding all the drivel that gets posted that's been doing my box in. I want my old fandom back :((

[indiefairy]

Umm I think it's close to £100, he's mental that he decided to go for the Hilton, but he figured seeing as we're splitting the cost and we're only staying one night it was ok. Plus you know proximity for sunday morning.

::runsa away scared::

Yeah I really should do a cull of the comms on my flist.

[cs_whitewolf]

For one night between two it's not actually too bad. I think Bexy, me and some others are just planning to stay in the same hotel we did for LFCC we'll have to get the tube in but that's not too much of a hassle really!

MU'HAHAHAHAHA!

It was very satisfying! XD
