We should deaf-in-Italy plan something of the kind, preferably in springtime when it gets a little warmer - maybe a moot to commemorate the crowning of King Elessar and the marriage of Sam and Rosie (May 1st, that would be)? Or anything really.

Indeed! I won't even need a plane ticket for that!

Why thank'ee! I certainly hope to meet many Downers at some point next year. I will have no excuse at all not to pay a visit at least to those living on the island!

Yaaaaay!

Welcome to Europe!

(This is my first post on the forum in a year. I'm embarrassing.)

Eönwë mentioned this to Kath, Hookbill and me when we were in Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival this year, and we kind of started planning an Edinburghmoot (provided that there's accommodation). However, if you should feel like visiting Finland, we're more than happy to put you up and show you around!

Also, can I just point out that Worldcon 2017 takes place in Helsinki in 9-13 August 2017?

Didn't think I'd stay until then, but this is tempting.

Well these aren't mutually exclusive! I don't know about accommodation, but I will probably have a better idea of things once I actually start living there. At the moment I don't have a place myself so I can't really say anything on that account. But I'll be very happy if people actually come!

As I said, though, I don't see why I can't go somewhere else for a weekend, or for longer in the early summer. I really hope to go places and see as many of you as possible while I'm at it.

Yeah it's obviously different for you because about half of all Worldcons take place in North America, but as a Finn I'm pretty excited. Plus it's probably going to be awesome.

But a big yes for (extended) weekend trips! I'm also hopeful for an Edinburgh moot, although it does depend on accommodation.

Can't wait!
