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!

Well I haven't been to a Worldcon or anything like it yet, so it would be really cool to go. I just didn't think I'd stay till August. My exams end sometime in May, so I thought maybe another month or so of hopping around and then back home. But we'll see, nothing is fixed yet, and until I get the results of a certain exam back I have no idea what I'll be doing that summer.

My financial situation is worse/ more erratic than it's been for years (and they say students are poor, lol) but springmoot in Edinburgh/ anywhere else in the UK/ or Europe for that matter sounds very good to me.
