h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A week on Saturday then? I'm sure we could be up in town by midday.
Any old shoes, Toc, I'll give you a phone tonight once I've packed and we'll see

Both sound good to me, I've got a big batch of Egg fried rice planned for my tea, and will play the rest by ear!

It has come to my attention that there are only a couple of weeks left until Damn Fine Con. And I still have no plans for costume. Anyone any ideas? And does young Scorpi still lurk around H2G2 or has he slunk off?

I resemble that remark.

Is a chap no longer allowed to hone his lurking skills?

And anyway, stupid computer wiped my bookmarks.

Er, sorry.

Posted that from the account I accidentally set up while hitting buttons like a monkey.

S'really me. Honest.

Monkeys have a fine history of pressing buttons. I wouldn't feel ashamed at all.

So, thought up anything cunning for DFC or are you still trying to understand cross dressing police as a costume choice?

Well, I was going to use the 'Dinner Suit knackered by easyJet' costume for the Prom, and felt that 'Surly drunk in the bar' may be the best choice for the other disco.

I think that you should mention the con's imminence to Munchkinstein, as they're all useless swine.

I'm beginning to sound like a broken record there. Almost as much as those who say, "I'll sign up soon".
I really would like to find a loud check jacket for the Prom thing, but that would involve going looking for one in Woking charity shops. I have tried Nodnol but I came away with a fine tailcoat instead which will be no use until some runs a Burns con.

Lurkity lurk

The shop by the station had a great midnight blue velvety jacket thing, bit on the steep side for a costume though

Maybe have a look around on Saturday me thinks.

Well, I shall have a quick look at dresses, but shall probably just recycle what I've already got

Well Scorpi, not even Camden could supply me with a Prom suit so I'll just look like I've been at work, or at a wedding, why change the habit of a lifetime. On the plus side, I do have cheesy sheriff down pat. I've even acquired some videos of Twin Peaks so I can find out what all the fuss is. Just need to find time to watch them.

Nah...but it did supply you with a rather natty pair of 'riding' boots, so what you moaning about?

Hmmmm...most satisfactory......
When's the next con then?

Well, "allegedly" there is Hypo in September. Other than that, I feel I'm going to have to start going to Easter Cons just to learn of other decent cons. And complain about the lack of hot food.

Oh dear...and I wasn't going to go to Hypo....but now...

Well, somebody's DFC pics are up on the site. And dull they are, too.

I'm in 009, most of us are in 061 and the other 107 are mainly out of focus, shots of nothing in particular, or out of focus shots of nothing in particular.

Whoop. Ee.

Any chance of telling us where they are then?
Does this mean I should have had me camera to hand all w/e?

You could try damnfinecon.org.uk

But that's just what they'd expect you to do.

Oi, number 9 also has Simon and myself in it. Well, I assume that is the fuzzy blob with the big gun anyway
