williamjm Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Revising my arrival time so I can get there for GRRM's 11am reading tomorrow. Not entirely confident I can arrive, check in to the hotel and register, so I might end up getting up at 6am and catching an early train in :) Just realised my Wheel of Time panel on Saturday is on at the exact same time as one of George's signings :( That's going to be a tough gig. Hope some of the BwB make it, surely most of you have run out of things for George to sign by now? :DIf it is anything like today you should leave plenty of time for queuing for registration, I am in the queue at the moment and the estimate is it might take at least an hour.I do have plenty of signed books already so I think I will be going to your panel, especially since the signing queue will probably be equally epic.

I wouldn't imagine Friday would be as bad simply because I imagine most people either come for the entirity of the con or just the weekend. (Saturday may be hell on earth...)

Werthead Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Arse, just remembered I prebooked the train tickets for off-peak, so I can't get a train before 9am, so it's not likely I'll get there pre-reading. I may loiter outside, if I even get there in time for the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the maid of woodlynne Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Jetlag kicked my ass yesterday, but BWB hugs more than made up for it. Special thanks to Pebs for all the cool pins for my con bag! \m/Wert - I'm sorry to hear about the breakup and travel woes. If I'm around for the signing I'll happily queue in your stead. (And if not, I'm sure we can wrangle someone for you.)In other news: I've yet to have a proper pint. This must be remedied ASAP. Headed to breakfast at Novotel early (7ish) if anyone wants to join me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LugaJetboyGirl Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 The Business Meeting is a fraking joke. What a waste of time. This thing could be done in half the time if people actually paid attention and stopped fucking around. Some of us would actually like to attend panels. Or George RR Martins reading. Which we missed.

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Luga,Well, that sucks. Was the ratification amendment changed to require ratification by WSFS membership in the third year after its proposal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 When I see you next, I'll probably try to pick your brain a little. I'm planning to go to tomorrow's meeting, but would like to know what I'm getting into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elder Sister Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Pebble, you are overwhelmingly cute. I suspect you could take over the world if you wanted.Seriously; the woman is freaking adorable. I didn't get enough Pebble hugs. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The robot dude was crazy. We're stealing one for future Worldcons so Ser Scott can be present remotely. Awesome con, great to meet new people, see old friends and, most particularly, finally meeting people I've spoken to on the boards and on Facebook semi-regularly for almost a decade. Particularly cool to see so many BwBers getting onto panels and finally getting somewhere in the business meetings. I also had some interesting blogging-and-publishing related stuff going on. Running from a publisher's party to the BwB impromptu concert on Saturday night was particularly fun. The Sunday night karaoke party was epic. We totally rocked and destroyed everything. Awesome stuff. And then this morning I found a way I might be able to make it to Spokane as well, because I have a trip to San Francisco next year I could tie in with it, which could be pretty cool.

Maltaran Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The Sunday night karaoke party was epic. Jon's MC'ing deserves a shout out here, and there are a few performances I also feel deserve a particular mention: Jon and Targh filling in an early empty slot with Bob the Builder Triff, Turlough and Mormont doing It's Raining Men Ran and Linda are apparently Big in Japan Baita giving us some multiculturalism with La Bamba Xray, Katie et al tellling us to Run to the Hills And of course the grand finale of Bohemian Rhapsody by everyone left in the room (Oh, and there were some twins singing the Proclaimers as well. Who were those guys? :cool4: ) Much thanks also to Jo for organising the whole thing, and apologies to all those I forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
