Some SFnal stuff.

I know I say I usually just wait until a draft post is out of data and abandon it. I was trying to get that last one posted before the exhibition closed, but failed. At least partially due to spending the last couple of evenings working on a costume for Sunday. Anyone going to the expo?

Speaking of which anyone fancy a grand cosplay ball? I've got my ticket.

Oh, and is anyone planning on going to Novacon and want to share a room?

Craig Gidney, (who ran the Tanith Lee novel discussion at Orbital) is in a spot of financial bother and his publisher is selling pre-orders of his book and giving the whole amount to him, not even covering costs.

One last sfnal thing: I see from issue #6 of Captain Britain & MI:13 the the Cabal have clearly been at work on paulcornell2 is it features a villain called drplokta.

Possibly. Hadn't quite decided, and haven't actually joined yet. Was toying with the idea of commuting in, but then I remembered how little fun that was last time I did it (had to leave, mid-conversation, at about 9pm, then the trains couldn't be bothered and I ended up stuck in the middle of Coventry at 1am). Were you planning on staying on the Friday and Saturday, or the Sunday too?

[cdave]

I've booked the Friday and Monday off work, but hadn't yet decided if I was going to stay on the Sunday night. I'd think I'd quite like to.

I'm tempted by the ball, but I'd need to check my rota and find a place to crash...

When is Novacon? I might sit in the bar for a day but I'm not going to the con proper.

The lumpiest-futon-in-the-world(tm) is available, if you need a crash pad in London (I just need to check with flatmate first, but he's usually okay).

Novacon's the 14th to the 16th of November.

Ooh, that sounds like a good idea...Although, I've just checked - the 30th is a Sunday isn't it? That's no good, cos I'm on a course on 1st/2nd December back at home... Who thought it was a good idea to hold a ball on a Sunday?! I'm pretty sure I'm not working the Novacon weekend though, so I'll come down to sit in the bar for a bit...

[cdave]

An odd choice yes. But then who can tell what goes through the minds of a conrunner :)

Hope you can make it down. I'll buy you a drink.
