Fantasycon 2011

Ooooooh... sneaky advance news...

According to Martin Roberts (via facebook,) next year Fcon will be in Brighton, in the same hotel wot WHC was in this year.  With the ever awesome Sarah Pinborough as MC.

Nifty!  The drive's much nicer than the Nottingham trek and there's a sea view!  A sea view, people!!  And I may get to actually walk outside and see it this time!  ;-P

(Alas, the parking is utterly shite.  And you need a second mortgage to pay for it.)

But, still, Brighton!  Woot!

And next year is also the British Fantasy Society's 40th birthday so expect fun stuff.  And parties.  With drinking.  Lots and lots of drinking.  And shenanigans.  And more parties.  Possibly there might be some convention stuff slipped between parties.  But you can still drink during the aforementioned convention stuff.  (I don't drink, so the whole convention boozing thing remains a strange custom... but y'all go ahead and get bladdered.  I'll collect the blackmail... ;-D )

No news on who is doing the actual organising of it yet, though given the location, I have a few suspicions...

Oh hooray! If F-con's in Brighton next year, Patrick and I will probably go - I can't wait!

oooh... Brighton's really convenient to get to from Paris (and mmm, the sea....).
*tempted*

And the con hotel is right next to the Pier so there's plenty of additional entertainment to be had... (There's a ghost ride there :-P )

Martin says he's putting the official information up on the BFS website sometime this afternoon...
