U.K. trip, part 1
Aug. 28th, 2005 10:04 amWe had a great convention. Our flight over was filled with fans (am I obviously fannish? I was certainly spotted by others). Convention highlights: great conversations with
brisingamen,
peake,
ladyjillian,
dmw (hardly saw
dalmeny though, alas),
coth,
tamaranth (met for first time), Mark, Claire, Lise, Moshe, and many others that I'm blanking on. Program item standout: Book discussion of Troll: A Love Story (published as Not Before Sundown in the U.K.) with author Johanna Sinisalo present! What a treat. It was also where I met
tamaranth.
The real ale bar and the fan lounge were excellent places to meet up with people. It's true that the SECC lacks good meeting places, but
bohemiancoast's efforts with the real ale bar in the Moat House paid off big time. What a success! Sadly for me, the wine was overpriced and mediocre, but they did have Campari at the bar (although I had to explain to them each time how to make a Campari & soda).
Here's my first attempt to share some photos from the trip. Let me know if this works for you. I should warn you up front that I only took two pictures at the con, so don't get your hopes up. (
dmw and
ladyjillian, be sure to look.)
