I regret to inform due to circumstances beyond my control a budget of ticket+accomodation+travel+food\drink coming to 1000+GBP I won't be attending this year's convention despite it being in the country I'm in.

Have fun all who can get there in person, maybe next time

Yep same for me - pricing is crazy for 2 days in a convention centre I'd rather spend the 1000 on a 10 day holiday somewhere warm and sunny :/

I could have saved up a little pot with some advanced notice, but the month they put the tickets on sale was in the same month they sold 'em and I'd just a couple of days earlier donated a fair chunk to a family member to help out with car issues and other debts, so I'm just putting it down to the universe doing all it can to keep me away this year.

Suffice to say with omens like that I won't be entering any competitions to win a ticket if there are any!

So here's an idea... who wants to book a village hall somewhere equidistant from all of us all and put on a coffee morning/mini watch party? We can have village fete games like Ring Toss and Splat The Rat, a Bric-a-brak stall and home-made cakes on sale for 50p a piece. It'd be like the TEST version of Drakes IAE Defence Con.

Hmmmm, I'm in Lincolnshire which currently puts us somewhere round Birmingham way...? Depends where everyone else is from?

*disclaimer: my incompetence by far outshines my idea generation so this may not go well at all.

My grand pappy from there I do the trip every now and again to see what's left of the family and then up to newcastle to see more family, I was hoping you were gonna say bristol or somthing :p

For some reason, when I read this, the show Red Dwarf came to mind.

Hey mate, are you coming again?



Last Manchester CitCon was very cool, despite Carrack being delayed and few other disappointments.
Pre-show party with the CIG staff was great.

This is one of the coolest fuckin pics on this entire site o7

I told CitizenMom and CitizenGunnar we were going to finally visit our ancestral isle and started planning, then saw that not a single Man City fixture was going to be held in the month of October? Not sure how that works. Might be able to swing a two week holiday to catch a match early the following month but if not we'll have to wait til the next Manchester Citizencon to kick two items off the old bucketlist in one trip. I really wanted to go this year because I'm pretty sure it will be the best yet, with the most actual content, and things to do :) October is coming up fast tho. G's bday is October too and he really, REALLY wants to go to a Citcon though LA ones are so much more affordable.

Will it go Germany>Austin>LA? or anyone know the "rotation" ?
