Places wot we have been
23rd Oct 2003 'They Came and Shaved Us' Erm, what can I say?
Brought to you by the
same people that did ASMH and DFC
A jolly good time was had by all. Plenty of pics are now linked from the site, so go see what you missed.
18th April 2003 - Eastercon Officially, it's a literary type convention where 800 people gather to
hear talks from authors, discuss books and art.
We just go for the beer and to watch women in corsets.
Apparently it lasted 4 days, not sure where it all went. I remmeber a disco, where I was covered in latex and fake blood (but still didn't win a prize)
There were room parties, with AGWA + calvados + amareto + chocolate + UHT milk.
There was dressing up, which we should have got a long service award for (3 costumes in not many minutes), lots of blood stained fluffy toys, then more room parties. (I'll put up some of my own pics soon, honest)
12/13th April 2003 - Unconvention
A 2 day convention hosted by Fortean Times. Used to be good fun to go and listen to some people who know too much about topics that no one else does.
Less nutters this year, and a much smaller dealers area. (Note to self: scan in the pic of my aura I had taken at last years Uncon)
Ken Cambell was quite restrained, after last years, erm, shower scene.
22nd Feb 2003 Picocon We heard about a
small group of 'special' poeple in London that gather once a year. We went to
see if they were similar. They weren't, they were just students. But they
did have cheap beer.
13th - 20th Dec 2002 Serre Chevalier
Snowboarding Having just organised a group booking for 16 of us in
March, we noticed a cheap deal, thought "What the hell" and went off for a
week.
31st Oct 2002 'Halloween'
While no one was looking we slipped out into London, but it was
halloween so no one noticed us. After wandering the streets for a while we
ended up at the Ben Crouch pub, where we fitted right in
9th Nov 2002 'Dangercon
40' A Danger Mouse convention, what else could it be?
7th Sept 2002 'Eddy Bears
Picnic' The book launch of
Robert Rankin's then
new book.
3rd - 6th May 2002 'Damn Fine
COnvention' Another drunken weekend from the Aliens Stole My
Handbag team.
May 2000 'Aliens Stole My
Handbag' What happens when a group of mates want to throw a
party, for over a hundred people, for an entire bank holiday weekend?.
