I got my ticket and hotel, just browsing flights for now.
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 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
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.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 :/
Ooh a lan party! Good idea thanks for organising it!! I am in South Wales where are you? :DSo 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?Ooh a lan party! Good idea thanks for organising it!! I am in South Wales where are you? :D
For some reason, when I read this, the show Red Dwarf came to mind.*disclaimer: my incompetence by far outshines my idea generation so this may not go well at all.
This is one of the coolest fuckin pics on this entire site o7Hey 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.
