Glasgow 2024 (Worldcon)
Arataniello replied to Luzifer's right hand's topic in Brotherhood without Banners
After a scramble (never received the email when bookings opened, lots of folk seem to be having the same issue), I think I have got a room booked at the Moxy hotel, which wouldn't have been my first choice but it's super close to the SEC and cheap enough. -

Just be aware that London 'suffers' from multiple airport syndrome, please check CHECK that any connecting onward flight to Glasgow is leaving from the same airport as your arriving international flight. Connection time between any two of Gatwick, Heathrow and Stansted is recommended two to three hours. Echoing William's comments, the train journey can be fraught with cancellations, delays, strikes, but is a more relaxing (IMHO) way to get from London to Scottish cities. The time is a major factor - fastest service London to Glasgow is maybe 4hrs 30 minutes. -

Does anyone have a feel for what sort of discount the conventions manages to agree with the convention hotels? I am looking on Expedia just now at the seven hotels listed on the WorldCon website, and prices being quoted for them are off-putting for a similar period as the convention. Can anyone recall details of the differential for previous WorldCons? -

First two on the list, from a trip last year Shucks https://www.shucksglasgow.com/ Paesano Pizza https://paesanopizza.co.uk/ Folk rave about Crabshakk, but I was underwhelmed https://www.crabshakk.co.uk/ -

I think I bought a membership way back, I just started discussing accom options with a group of close (nonBWB) friends - looking at AirBnB as a more cost effective way for four of us to attend. Also starting to build the list of good places to eat in the old home town, of which there are many more than when I used to live there. My last worldcon was I think LonCon in 2013. -

From comments I saw elsewhere (GRRM blog maybe?), there may in fact be more than the seven D&E stories, and he may not be working on them in chronological order. The comment (I need to go find this now) included reference to 'getting around' to writing about D&E adventure in Dorne, despite those occurring between tHK and the Sworn Sword.

Realistic kings council at a start of asoiaf with minor changes that make it possible. Also, 15 kings guards because 7 makes no logical sense on how they could guard me and all of my family and also be sent on missions. Also positions added to small c.

I'm confused. This seems to an attempt to give every possible named character from the books some sort of title and position at Court. What are you trying to show? -

The final volume in Wars of Light and Shadow by Janny Wurtis - Song of the Mysteries. The series has gone on rather long, but I just want to now see how she winds it all up.

The Winds of Winter: The Latest Info (updated 10 July 2022)

Head over to Twitter for a snippet of an update from GRRM on current status. I am sure it will be posted here in due course. -
The accent was a dead giveaway. Ser Harold = Scottish accent; the Cargills = Yorkshire. Taking Rhaenys into the city while wearing his white cloak was a blindingly dumb move.

It was one of the twins.

And Melys clearly was the beast beneath the floor, and it’s not a reference to Blood and Cheese.
