Read it all here in this Word Document (cos otherwise it would be too massive to post here) [url="http://www.philliplowles.co.uk/gallery/worldcon2008.doc"]MG's Worldcon 2008 Report[/url] [i][b]Read and enjoy yourself![/b][/i][/quote] Well, I skimmed it at least. :) Sounds like you really enjoyed being in a room with three ladies. :P Thanks for putting all that work into your report.

Yagathai Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Some mostly self-serving corrections, goatse: I was made a Prince (it goes Knight, Lord, Prince, King, whatever the hell Pod is. I think we now have two Kings and a Queen. I think Stego was officially created the new Baron, though I could be wrong on that). Also, I helped Katie make the stickers. Also also, I did work the bar for a little while on Saturday as well. Mr. X came up with the Murder Hole idea. Saturday's punch was called the Kid Dinosaur Memorial Punch. Never forget!

GoN Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Fuck me, that was an epic report, MG. One minor clarification: The Tickler wasn't the Brotherhood Without Manners guy, just some guy we were shouting enjoy yourself at and who took offense at it. Its a better story if it was the Tickler though :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theMountainGoat Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Kat you should probably read that, you're in it, like a lot. Potsherds - [i]quite[/i] dedicated? You have [i]quite[/i] the talent for understatement :P Thanks for the clarifications Yags, clearly no one man can no it all :( Thanks GoN - my misunderstanding I will make corrections and additions tomorrow including a full report of Saturday and what I saw/heard of Sunday. If there are any other good stories missing from the report let me know and I will add them in too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xray the Enforcer Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Jaysus motherfucking Christ, MG, that was epic. for the record, the Great and Powerful Turtle cocktail was vodka, limeade, triple sec, midori, topped up with sprite. The Kid Dinosaur Memorial Punch (Never Forget!) was vodka, pineapple-orange juice, midori (more than the first night), triple sec (less than the first night), topped up with sprite. A citrus drink and a melon drink. :) Enjoy yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think MG, Soph, and Real Writer Guy (tm) rescued me from him more than one time. (Why do all the con weirdos I meet have to be from my city? Seriously, what's up with that?) I guess he was more interesting when being whipped, but if you see him again, run away before he starts talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yagathai Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Oh man, that guy... He gave me an assignment: Find someone to ravish Mo horribly so as to improve her mood. He also was convinced that if he knocked Stego down, he could claim Mo for himself. Whiskey or whisky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
