williamjm Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 https://www.mancunicon.org.uk/There was a thread about this before, but I think it may have been lost due to forum-updating shenanigans.I think I said on the old thread that I was thinking of going, I've now booked a ticket for it. I think there were about half a dozen of us going to be there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peadar Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 If by "half a dozen of us" you meant, me, then yes. See you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targh Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'm going with a friend (who was also at Titancon) and pretty sure Beth is going too. That makes half a dozen!Or, by Pebbles count of a dozen we're still 2 short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes half a dozen!Or, by Pebbles count of a dozen we're still 2 short. I count dozens the same way as everyone else. I just don't count those under a certain height as a full person. I now have my membership and a twin (can sleep 3 apparently) in the Jury's Inn. If anyone is looking for a bed and would like to share, please let me know - It will cost an extra £10 per day so I'm sure I will be able to modify the room rate accordinly.

Yep - all three of us, though the baby also falls under Pebble's less than a full person criterion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targh Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Should be good. Depending on how many of us there are and how good the con spaces are, we can always retreat to my AirBNB for some beers and games, too! I'm there Tuesday-Monday, I think.

Wee_Birdie Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I'm coming! Arriving Thursday (I think). I'm currently staying with a relative who lives just outside the city, but I might try to find something closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theMountainGoat Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I'd like to be there but unfortunately right now with still being out of work I can't justify the expense. But hopefully something will come through for me in the next week or so and I can still join you guys, but it is going to be a very last minute thing.

williamjm Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 I'll be arriving on Friday morning and leaving on Monday evening (it seems I didn't mention that in my original post). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theMountainGoat Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 It seems I shall go to the ball... Thanks to Pebble I will be at Eastercon after all. She has offered me a lift up to Manchester and I believe we'll be there from Thursday to Tuesday. Looking forward to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targh Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Anyone up for a trip to Cloudwater Brewing on the saturday? Guessing not, but you never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanCat Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Myself and @TitanCat's Cute Boyfriend (blame Pebble for the name) *might* be passing through Manchester that Saturday, in which case I could see us being up for that. Maybe. We haven't actually planned the plans yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanCat Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 If we are in Manchester, the brewery will also depend on whether we need to do more driving after or not. Otherwise, there's a possibility of Manchester and not!brewerying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed something to refer to him as while being able to give him some internet anonymity. The description seemed to fit. If I was going to name him for his board name I would have chosen something far more embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wanted to make sure I wasn't taking the responsibility for it, because that seems a bit too much like bragging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
