Fatal mistake #1: Going to the Concourse website and reminding myself that the guests of honour are Christopher Priest and Philip Pullman.

Fatal mistake #2: Noticing that there is an option to register online.

End result: I'm going to Eastercon!

If you're going to keep doing this kind of thing, you can stop whining that you have no money.

;P

Magic credit card ahoy!

The problem isn't the up-front cost, and with any luck it won't be the accomodation cost. No, the problem is the amount of books I'll buy if I ever go into the dealer's room...

I still haven't got over your obvious lie when you came to Birmingham last, insisting you hadn't intended to buy as many books as you did. Then you open the backpack you'd been carrying around to reveal it was totally empty and just the right size for a big pile of books.

You really need to do something about this problem of yours ...

No it wasn't! It's just that everything in there (ie clothes) was conveniently squashable.

And I didn't buy that many books. I talked about a lot of books, yes. But I only bought...what, three?

See? Still with the denial. It's frightening.

But he's right. Three books does not a big pile make. Why three books are hardly any at all! More than 10, or 20... now that's a big pile. And it ain't 'alf hard to carry that many home from the shops, I can tell you.

But that's the thing. Niall *sees* three books, but he *buys* 15.

Now fifteen books is a pile. Mmmmmm books!

*goes off in search of book shaped goodness*

We can make a solemn promise to physically restrain you from going in the dealers room if you like. Or we could allow you in chaperoned, as long as we're allowed to use force to prevent you from reaching for your wallet.

(I too made fatal mistakes #1 and #2. It's so easily done!)

Yes, I'll help stop Niall buying books.

(Oops, damn him for pointing me to that online registration link.)
