Citizencon 2015 in Manchester UK

[Lienna]

So I noticed in the latest comm link email an event list for 2015, which included citizencon in Manchester! I thought I'd start a thread to get an initial idea of who is interested in going.

Personally Manchester is very far from where I live, however my partner's parents live just up the road so I should be able to represent the squadron.

I guess what I'm asking is 'Who wants to be my drinking buddy?'

Also does anyone know if you need to buy tickets and when they are likely to be on sale?

I will be going and I trying to drag along some other fools tickets normally go onsale about 2 months before.

 

[Munken]

Green avenger and I talked about going. I'm not 100% sure just yet, but a lot of things have to go wrong for me to not get there.

I will sticky this thread around 1~2 months before so that you all can organize together :)

Also added this in our event calendar system so people can start RSVP-ing and see who is planning to go! Linkie: https://testsquadron.com/events/citizencon-2015.2/

@Munken I think I fixed the events system have fun :P and let me know of any bugs!

I'll never be able to go unless it's in the US, and even then it will have to be relatively close :(

Is this going to be in October, again? If so, I may be able to go, though this also depends on where I'm at, personally. Wife and I want to buy a house and have a kid, so if the wife is preggo, it's probably a no-go. Though, she'd love to go the England, as well, so, we'll see.

wait to buy house. Then have kid. Saves a TON of headaches. My parents can vouch for that.

Yes 10th October or as close as they can get it ;)

Well I live just across the water in Ireland so I'd be up for this.

 

[GeoToaster]

I live in the United States and dont have the money for a transatlantic flight, so I have to pass. :(

 

[CrashMan054]

Totally gonna drag myself over there, as long as I can get some tickets. I missed PAX east by 1 hour... :(

 

[the_angry_angel]

Assuming its not too expensive and it's not happening during a house move (my lease is up around then), I should be able to drive up :)

 

[AntiSqueaker]

I wanna go! But it's probably not in the cards since I'm way too poor to take off the necessary time and buy plane tickets. But someone stop in Ireland and drink some Guinness for me!

 

[WarrenPeace]

It's a little far for me unfortunately, but next one nearish to Texas I will totally be at.

People were talking about hotel rooms - stayed at this one before - nothing fancy but cheap.

ALL TICKETS SOLD OUT

Northern Ireland represent! Now all I need is my TEST T-Shirt. And a phone booth to sleep in..
I assume all testies will meet up, we need to make some noise amiryt?

Testies will be meeting up and sleeping together (though... you know, not sleeping with each other, that would be awkward in a 10 person hostel room). We still have 2 spaces spare in the room I think? check here: https://testsquadron.com/threads/weekend-accomodation-for-citizencon-manchester-in-october.3714/
