coalescentGiven that at 11:30 last night I was in the centre of Birmingham with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pikelet, immortalradical, wg, danmilburn and Jane, I'm somewhat amazed that I made it to work at all, never mind in a state that appears to be at least vaguely coherent. Great evening, though; it was good to finally meet immortalradical and discover that, like everyone else I've met from umta in real life, he's just as cool as he is online. How one newsgroup managed to attract so many great people is beyond me, but I'm not complaining.
I also say he looks like Nathan Fillion, but I seem to be on my own on that one.
It was a great weekend all around, actually, if utterly exhausting. I have thoughts on my first Eastercon (fandom, SF, awards and authors) roiling around in my brain right now. Hopefully they'll coalesce into something coherent later on. Meanwhile, it was good to put faces to names forsbisson, hawkida and others; frankly baffling to be identified from one audience as 'the David Boreanaz wannabie'; and excellent, as always, to spend time with greengolux, oxfordslacker, truecatachresis, squigglyruth, Damien and cleanskies.
Plus, y'know, spending obscene amounts on books never gets old.
And just so we're clear: We're all going to Worldcon in 2005. Yes, all of us. Got that?
Good.

Correction
Date: 2003-04-22 05:05 am (UTC)Actually, I think the guy called you 'the Angel wannabe'. I think there's a difference?
Re: Correction
Date: 2003-04-22 05:20 am (UTC)Because my friends decided my long black coat meant I was a)Angel b)Mulder c)Silent Bob and d)about to turn up with a machine gun and kill everyone.
Re: Correction
Date: 2003-04-22 05:39 am (UTC)I didn't have my coat with me. It seemed to be based mostly on my hair. Stop laughing.
And I really thought it was David Boreanaz and not Angel, myself. Hmm.

I can't. Seriously. I'm glad everyone else in the office has gone out to the pub.

I'm sure it was Angel. I remember thinking something about you being an Angel fan, whereas I would never think about you being a David Boreanaz fan.

I also say he looks like Nathan Fillion, but I seem to be on my own on that one.
Right. Was he wearing tight pants, or something?
And just so we're clear: We're all going to Worldcon in 2005. Yes, all of us. Got that?
Duh. Was planning on that since I heard it was gonna be in Glasgow. Can we reg for it already? Haven't checked site in a while..
no subject
Date: 2003-04-22 05:57 am (UTC)It was something in the nose. And the hair. And the fact that he swore profusely in mandarin.
One of those is not true.
Can we reg for it already?
Yes. And, indeed, save money by doing so.

TIM: No. He doesn't.
NIALL: ... He says 'cast' and not 'carst.'
So there you go.

And no, you can't have my share of the winnings.

Worldcon 2005?
Date: 2003-04-22 08:58 am (UTC)I'm finding that my capitalist might will have improved by 2005, and it may be entirely feasible that I may find myself in Worldcon environs...
Room for another? :-)

Check that
Date: 2003-04-22 09:03 am (UTC)Is there any question? I AM THERE!!!!!

Re: Check that
Date: 2003-04-22 10:37 am (UTC)Excellent! I'm going to be there too (already signed up).
All excited now, and I'm going to have to wait two more years. :(

Has Umta survived the curse of down loading better than umtb then?
I'd say so, although it's been more severely affected by the Curse Of Niall Getting A Job And Not Having The Time To Post, Dammit.
(I gues you know Tafka?)
Of course! And I was aware of you as
And you're still wrong about Spike. :-p
