Third time's the charm, it seems. (HL con Leeds)

[hmpf]

After two abortive attempts in 1999 and 2000(?) I'm finally going to a Highlander con, it seems. Like the last time, I bought the ticket off someone who couldn't go - (((rasmizar))) - but unlike the last time, the con will (I hope!) actually take place (last time it was cancelled just a couple of weeks after I bought the ticket, and I never saw my money

Oh...I wish I could go. So so badly. No money to get there, though.

(((Bria)))

[hmpf]

I wish you could go, too. I would love to meet you.

Re: (((Bria)))

Maybe after next year. I know I'm going to Europe next summer, but I can also start saving for cons.

You know you have a place to stay in Frankfurt, right?

[hmpf]

Mi casa es su casa.

I WANT TO MEET YOU!!!!!!! I CAN SHOW OFF MY COOKING!!!!

I'm serious. ;D

[ommadon]

Poor, poor hmpf *shakes head sadly*

[beebee852001]

Psssht, you're just mad because you didn't get to try any of the sauce I made. It was beautiful :p

Beautiful? Or tasty?

[hmpf]

The latter's more important than the first, though it's true that it can't hurt if the food *looks* good, as well. ;-)

Hey! Just a few more weeks! I'm getting excited here! (Mostly, that's my panic of flying, though... *g*)

[fleta]

Yay!

Yeah you can share. Chip on in for it. We're there from 3-9 to 3-14

you can crash with me, I don't bite. much ;)

Don't know about Becca though....

we've got regular seats.

You can email me and I can give you my cell phone number tooif you want.

we fly to heathrow and are taking the train up to leeds (much cheaper for us that way)

Of course I'll chip in!

[hmpf]

Sorry for the late reply, I got a bit overwhelmed by various Real Life things and writing, and lost track of my LJ comments.

I'll probably only arrive on the first day of the con, i.e. the 10th of March, 'cause I'm visiting a friend in Plymouth before.

We can talk details later, in an e-mail. :-) I'm too tired to concentrate now... reading Spanish archaeology texts is frelling exhausting.

Hotel problem (possibly)

[hmpf]

I remembered hearing somewhere that British hotels aren't as easygoing about sharing rooms as some American hotels are, so I inquired with Aine (the con organiser) about it. She said that yeah, it could be a bit risky to try something like that. I'm a bit uncertain what to do now. Getting a single room is a very pricey proposition, even at the con rate, and most of the other hotels I checked out online today don't provide information about single room prices, so I can't tell if it would be significantly cheaper if I chose another hotel. And the only hostel in town seems to be closed for winter. Someone sent a mail over the hlww mailing list a few days ago about looking for a roommate, so I e-mailed her, on the off chance that she may not already have found someone. Haven't heard from her yet

Yay! Another BABE!

[hmpf]

It's turning into a medium-size BABE reunion, it seems! ;-)

Still no trace of Brokeback Mountain around here, btw.

Two things.

[hmpf]

1.) Brokeback Mountain seems to be opening in Germany the week before the con, i.e. next week. Since I'll be leaving for Britain on Tuesday, though, we won't be able to watch it together here before the con. Maybe after? I'll be back from Britain on the 17th.

2.) So, how will we find each other at the con??

[cdngirleh]

Add me to the "poor and jealous" list. ;)

(((CanadianGirl)))

[hmpf]

I really wish you could come, too. :-(
