This evening (well, yesterday evening by now!) I went to see the play Lionboy with two of my favourite peeps, asifidletyou and her son.

FYI, I have posted about the MCM Expo in Manchester Birmingham* yesterday on both the Merlin Locations site and our Rupert site (the same report is on both).

I was lucky enough to attend, and I wrote an account of my day. You can find it here on rupertfyoung.comThere was an unexpected Merlin Locations connection, by the way ( Read more... )

I had a lovely day at West Ham today for the Celebrity Soccer Six Tournament, with asifidletyou and many other lovely Merlin fans. I glimpsed a few familiar faces, but alas didn't have the chance to say hello to more than one.

Unfortunately the team didn't get further than the semi-finals, and the guys were really gutted about that, but I think a good time was ( Read more... )

Some friends and I have been slowly working on a new fannish website in honour of the awesomeness that is Rupert 'Fabulous' Young. You can find it here:

It's very much a work in progress. Among other things, however, you'll find out what Rupert's birthday is, what the F stands for - well, other ( Read more... )
