Pegasus 2

[trinityofone]

I just bought a ticket to Pegasus 2 even though 1) it's in England, 2) it's expensive, and 3) I have no idea if I will be allowed to take time off work. But siriaeve, randomeliza, and megolas are going! And I desperately want to see them, and I really, really miss Europe. Maybe I'm only freaking out about the purchase because I'm not used to really buying myself stuff or spending money not on food. (Or rent. Or, okay, books.)

But:

1. David Hewlett
2. I've never been to a con before!
3. David Hewlett!
4. Friendses!
5. DAVID 'THE AWESOME' HEWLETT!

So...who else is going?

In other news, I went up to Berkeley this weekend and thus am even more out of the loop than normal. What's going on? Did people like 'Progeny'? I'm tired. Can I take a nap now?

ETA: looking4tarzan started a comm for people going to Pegasus 2: peg2con. *runs off to join*

Usually just via Yahoo groups or LJ or things like that. It seems that people try to meet up the night before the event starts, or on the morning of.

The night before is fun because you can make it a bit of a party, maybe bring some related-DVDs, stuff like that.

For London Expo, we all arranged to meet in the hotel bar between certain hours. We had some drinks and food, then went to one person's hotel room where we (geeks all, yes) watched obscure episodes of television shows that the actors had been in pre-our-fandom. Got to see things like Dominic Keating (Star Trek) in his early twenties doing odd (and bad) British television, then Desmonds, then... we totally geeked out. Next morning, we met on line, went in together, etc. It was great. I highly recommend trying hard to meet up with the people you speak with online.

I probably won't be attending, but I'll keep the idea in the back of my mind. I'll have to be at Oxford for a week August next, and two overseas trips would be pretty expensive and difficult to manage. Still, it is so...very...(DH)...tempting.
