SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Posting a new thread for this as it was taking over the general London thread a little bit. So who is coming to the GollanczFest? There is an event in Manchester on the evening of the 16th, but work clashes, so instead I'm coming down to London, so do we want to make a meet of it as well?

williamjm Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 To repeat what I said in the other thread, I'll be going to this. do we want to make a meet of it as well? I think the Gollancz event finishes at 6, so I guess we could head to a nearby pub afterwards (or alternatively go get something to eat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yeah it's til 5 with a signing afterwards or something like that, and my train back up North isn't til 9pm, so I'm totally up for heading for a pub/food whatever.

deleted01 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 We'll be there! Probably will want to be heading home around 8/9, so if the pub is nearby we can pop in for a drink :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Which station will you be going from? I'll be going from Kings Cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted01 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Which station will you be going from? I'll be going from Kings Cross. Us too, getting the Cambridge-bound train most likely. We can go back together if you like? :) which tube line will we need, do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the nearest tube station should be Picadilly Circus on the Picadilly Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I will tentatively commit to this shindizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I've bought tickets (and they're going fast, Room 1 is sold out), so I have rather more firmly committed to this shenanivent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 I think the nearest tube station should be Picadilly Circus on the Picadilly Line. Thanks William. :) Sounds like a plan going back together Dracarya! I've bought tickets (and they're going fast, Room 1 is sold out), so I have rather more firmly committed to this shenanivent. Coolios. I couldn't decide, Rm 1 or Rm 2, so I bought one of each! If, once they release what they're doing in each Rm, if there is one I'm clearly going to prefer, I'll release the other back so somebody else can buy it, but for now, I've covered myself to flit between rooms. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted01 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 You were smart. I've emailed Sophie Calder to see if there are any differences between the rooms, but I was too slow (actually, it was my SO, the sod) and missed room 1. But I'm gonna grab tickets for room 2 now just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Looking at last year the difference is merely which authors are in the room at any one time and what they're doing. All authors will appear in both rooms across the day, but they may only do a reading (if they do a reading at all) in one room: for example last year Patrick Rothfuss did his reading in room 1 and then his solo talk and Q&A in room 2.

Ah fair enough. Sophie just said the line-up is the same (more info please?!), so I got tickets for room 2. I wonder how many books I've got to drag into London for this event :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theMountainGoat Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Just bought a ticket for room 2. Kinda wished I had got on this early and got a ticket for each room as well, nevermind. Should be a good time anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
