Great!
I just got aware, and I found it out myself, that my booked flight from Cologne to London got cancelled for some undefined reason.   

Called the travel agency. They told me that they'll arrange a new flight for me by tomorrow.

I wish you guys a lot of fun at Eastercon!

Finding Isis from the conference hotel when drunk is easy, just cross the road toward Marriott, then turn right over the highway, turn right again and proceed about a mile towards Heathrow. Next step is to slide back across the road and stumble back towards the conference hotel. Once you get there just continue down the road until you pass the Ibis, and rather than recrossing the street again, you turn around and enter the Ibis. Couldn't be easier.

Is it only easy when drunk?

We shall have to test it. Once when sober, once when drunk. That is the only way.

I'm also in the Ibis. There's a few of us I think. I know Peadar and the Nork are in the Ibis as well.

Luckily for you lot, the dreaded Nork's cage won't arrive until Sunday evening. Or so, the SAS have assured me. They lost very few people last time, so they're getting good at it.

I'll be arriving lateish on Friday. What's happening Friday evening so I can pop in and say hello?

If you want help hiding I can offer my expert advise and skills

Well the challenge is NOT to find Isis, so I mean I think between alcohol and my poor sense of direction not much help will be needed. It's not like anyone would want to hide from me anyway ...

Adz of CCAA - ( intriguing, I am not sure what oyur nickname is yet )

Sorry Jo, I just found this.

So, here's the answer:
Adz is short for Adzriel. It's from a book.
And the CCAA means Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium which is short for my hometown Cologne.

Finding Isis while drunk should be easier than when sober - Provided your hunting ground is the Con hotel.

This is because a certain level of intoxication (and/or previous experience) is necessary to process its Cruel and Unusual Topography; We don't call it the Radisson Non-Euclidean for nothing, you know...

[Davieboy]

Just to say I've just also booked into the Ibis on Saturday night - hoping I can tag along with the gang; as an older person I may need help crossing roads etc.

Unfortunately, I have to work on April 7 and 8.  There is no rest for the wicked.

That does mean no EasterCon.  I will have to catch y'all at ComicCon, GenCon, DragonCon, or WorldCon!!!

[Padraig]

Sorry to hear that Chataya.  But as you say...best laid plans and all that.

[Mr.S.Tooth]

I have to be honest, I'm currently debating whether or not I extend my stay at the Ibis by one night.  While I can get home after the viewing, I am facing an hour and a half trip home.  And I have to go to work the next day...might be easier to go with the option for extra sleep.

DragonCon and WorldCon are on the same weekend this year. If you can be in two places at once, then why not work and Eastercon this weekend?

Count me out for Saturday - Something has come up this weekend which I need to take care of so I'll only be seeing some of the daytime stuff.

Thanks for all being so accommodating anyway - much appreciated.

EDIT: I can still come on Monday night!
