Convention Happies

So, due to being skinter than a very skint thing at the moment, I'm having to miss Eastercon, Alt-Fiction and anything else interesting that might come up this year. (Fantasycon, however, is sacred.)

Except...being a wild and crazy thing (yes I am...shut up ;-) ) I've pre-booked for some rather juicy looking events coming up in the next 3 years. (Therefore, the world is not allowed to end in 2012. Or I'll be having words...)

World Fantasy Convention in Brighton in 2013!
Which is several different kinds of awesome. I mean, a major con in the UK! Woot!
Have never been to a WFC, so can't wait for that.

And talking of major conventions in the UK...
Worldcon in London in 2014!
Technically it's not getting voted on until the 2012 Worldcon but, last I heard, there were no competing bids so... London! Worldcon! Wheeee! Another con I've never been to, so, yay!

Also, not forgetting - Eastercon 2012
Back at the Radisson in Heathrow, which also happens to be just down the road from where I grew up. Ah, the comforting sounds of low flying aircraft. Love it.

Now to start saving up for them all... ;-)

Am seriously considering coming to Eastercon 2012.

Yes, I know it's in London, and I'm in... Australia. If it's at Heathrow, so much the better. That will allow me to both attend the con and periodically check up on my missing luggage. Whaddyamean, have I been through Heathrow before? ;-)

Heh! Be aware that the Radisson operates in its own personal whacky dimension and is renowned for its non-Euclidean properties. (I *swear* the corridors move.) :-)

That is cool and close!

I'm sorry you can't make Eastercon, but shall see you at F'con.

Eastercon is also the weekend of mum's 60th birthday so I'd be keel-hawled if I was absent.. ;-) But, yay! Glad you can make Fcon this year. Brighton's parking sucks but the scenery more than makes up for it.
