When I arrived home from my vacation trip, the final progress report was waiting for me - how exciting! Of course I looked through the complete list of participants, in hopes of chancing on familiar names; those I recognized were the guests, the organizers, and the two real names of participants I already know - davem and Lalwendë, besides my own name, of course. I'm willing to collect real life names and send them by PM to those who will be coming, so that we know which ones to look for. I'm assuming that most of you, like myself, are using real names on the tags, not nicks. If you'd like to be included on the list and thereby entitled to receive the list by PM, please send me a message. I hope those of you who have registered and not yet posted here will let the rest of us know as well!

By the way, Bêthberry and others who are interested, this last report does say that "We will be selling on-the-door tickets for ... individual days: Friday, Saturday and Sunday." However, that apparently does not included accommodations - booking for that closes July 15, so I'd recommend checking with the booking agent for your country to clarify that.

For those who, like me, are still working on their costumes for the event, there is a brief respite - the deadline has been moved to mid-July.

Lalwendë · 07-01-2005, 11:38 AM

Is your accommodation booking fine, Esty? In the Progress Report it said you could look them up online but alas ours are not listed - possibly as we booked them right before the deadline for the rise in price. We have receipts but I can't help fretting...I'm using my real name though, so you can pass it on if you like - I saw yours in the list!

I'm just hoping it's not going to be hot weather like it has been in the UK for the past fortnight. I wouldn't want to suffer from another burned nose.

Estelyn Telcontar · 07-01-2005, 03:51 PM

I just checked my booking, and it's fine - you might want to contact the Bookings Officer just to be sure.

Now all I have to do is figure out where I want to spend the free days I have in between the two Birmingham events I'm attending - it looks like it might be difficult to travel far on what remains of Monday. I was thinking about London, but as I was there last summer, I am now considering a brief trip to Glasgow, since there are places and things I'd like to see there. I strongly suspect, though, that a trip there will take quite a few hours.
