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

*looking forward to piccies*

On conrunning, me and Pete were talking about Hypotheticon a while ago, and as far as we are aware there isn't anything happening next year (unless Hypo gets delayed again, of course...) Albacon seems to be dead in the water, sooo...

I'd help, for what its worth
hxx

It's been a while since I did artwork for a convention - perhaps Glasgow is ready once again...

Good on ye m'dear...you have my e-mail at least...somewhere on a green bit o paper in the depths of your wallet!

I does quite a bit of orgaminaizing for work type stuff, so.........

I'll picth up to the wicket too...even though it may only be in the capacity of the commity member who does bog all due to living too far away.....

Oi, I was going to do that job!
Hmmm, well ... not that I'm agreeing to anything at the moment ... but ... if someone currently in Glasgow is up to doing the groundwork ... then ... just maybe ... and if we get StAN ... then we could do the fabled Black Hat. Hmmm.
Jamie see what Pete says, as he would be the experienced bob (sorry bod) we would require to make sure we did not cock it up.

Oh, and Mrs. V. glad you went then?

See, Munchkin, this is why I don't post frequently.

I make an off-hand suggestion and it's taken as gospel by hordes of willing acolytes.

It becomes after a while.

But if you did post, think how quickly you could twist the BBC round your little finger. You'd have BBC TMBG up in no time.

*Opens the blinds, shakes out the cushions and bangs the door loadly to wake people up* As a matter of interest, and nothing is decided upon yet, You con type people, would any of you be interested in a convention based on Victoriana type stuff. i.e. War of the Worlds, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Arthur Conan Doyle, alll the way back to Frankenstein and up to the present the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and The Diamond Age. I'm having a thunk, and a bit of a fact find and a straw poll would be handy. Ta.

Nice to see I have grabbed your attention.

Frankly, I'd be interested in anything at all happening next year, 'cos at the moment there appears to be a grand total of - nuffink. Any excuse for a pissup...

You need an excuse?

Jamie jamie jamie.......

Oh, and on a different subject, you went on a boat cruise thingy up the Clyde at new year, as I recall. Was it any good, and can you remember the name of the company? Trying to think of things to do for the October meet here.

What! you need an excuse for a piss up?

I'm not thinking of next year, maybe the year after, so we can actually plan it, and advertise it and all those other things I have whinged about Hypo not doing.

Of course, if you have a Con to advertise, you have to go to other cons. For publicity purposes, obviously.

Hush, I was wondering what the options were of doing that on expenses So, Eastercon and Octocon next year ought to be a definate

Anyhoo, nice to see people might be interested, I will continue to think of erudite advertising slogans.

(Hypothetical) Victoriana con names:

Black Hat
The Egregious Moustache
Victoricon
The 2003 Empire convention

off the top of me head, like.
