Theda Baratheon Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Never! You obviously worked your story out ahead of time. Nope! ;) I just thought it would be hilarious if luke and I sang tom jones LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted01 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Gutted I didn't get to meet you, Drac!! You missed Luke and I, attempting to prove (probably in vain :P ) that Wales *just* might exist! :DA fruitless attempt, no doubt!I know, we in particular suck - a friend in common, used to live within an hours' drive from each other, were both in London, and we still didn't manage to meet up. It's just not meant to be :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Wow. That was an experience. The greatest thing about it all was meeting Dracarya, Fragile Bird, Baitac, my lovely roommates Sunny and All Men Must Rhyme, palimpsest, Mountain Goat, Paedar, Pod, CrannogDweller, Luzifer's Left Hand, Pebble, TMOW, Elder Sis and so many others that I cannot name them all. There are some that I wish I could spend more time with, and I wish I can meet you all again. :) Best moments:The karaoke night.Unexpectedly winning the new book by Robin Hobb (the answer was "Vivacia"!) and getting it signed immediately by the author.Those few sightseeing tours that I managed to squeeze in between.Being asked "Oh really? Which one of the three thousand?" by GRRM after he was told I was at the sigining in Ljubljana two years ago. :PJust the relaxed chats about the books and the TV series with some other BWBers.Playing mafia (maybe being brutally murdered by way of hugging is not the worst way to go?). Downsides:Getting locked out of the b&b place we were staying at 2.10 AM.Not seeing the poppies at the Tower.Being back at home and kind of already missing the con now? Unrelated: mormont, I swear I really did not know who you were that one time, I have never met you before. I hope I do not get a warning point over it, I was not trying to make fun or anything! I was just quite embarrassed not knowing who I was speaking to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I do not get a warning point over it, I was not trying to make fun or anything! I was just quite embarrassed not knowing who I was speaking to. This happened so many times to me, would be 5 minutes into a conversation before asking "sooo who are you on the boards?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Unrelated: mormont, I swear I really did not know who you were that one time This happens to me all the time. :lol: I don't know what people expect (apart from a beard, apparently).

Filippa Eilhart Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 heh, I remember being surprised at how young Mormont was when I first met him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 This happened so many times to me, would be 5 minutes into a conversation before asking "sooo who are you on the boards?" Same here. Well some had the forum name on the name tag, so that helped. :P This happens to me all the time. :lol: I don't know what people expect (apart from a beard, apparently). I was not expecting anything, I just had no idea who you were. xD So, what is the name of the group for whom this was the first con? Pebble said it was something like free company ... ? I wonder how many members were at a con for the first time, beside me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peadar Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 :blushing: I am really wondering how funny my accent sounds to native speakers. Your English is excellent and your accent is absolutely fine! It's probably a little better than my Slovenian *cough*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's endearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
