[Catch-up]

Are you kidding?! I know how well recorded these events are. I've seen plenty of photos and video of past events. I will behave.

Safe journey Susanne!

I envy the lot of you. I hope Sir Terry is in good enough health by the time I get to go to one.

Suzanne, Ratty can you distribute hugs around to Kris and oh everybody...hugs to everybody.

Tina at the opening cermony today Terry did say he would not be opposed to coming back for another Discworld one in the states so keep an eye out and a ear open (not literely)or watch this space in about 2 years or less his health permitting.

[Tina a.k.a.SusanSto.Helit]

Thank you, that puts a bright spot on me weekend.

Maybe that one I'll be able to make too. It would be nice to meet you Tina and other American members as well. At the Birmingham con there was a lady who did a brilliant Nanny Ogg. She was with a friend and I could hear they were Americans but I never really got a chance to chat with them until the last day. She has been blessed with a head of Oggish iron gray curls by nature and she's shorter and really was perfect as Nanny. She even brought a big toy cat to carry around as Greebo. Anyway, we chatted on the last day of the con and wonder of wonders it turned out that they were from my home town of Houston, TX. So, when I went home for my daughter's wedding I invited Peg (that's her name) and my family really liked her and then when I went home in May we met up for Scrabble and chat and really hit it off. So, she's at the con in Phoenix right now and will give me a full report next week when I go home over drinks and er...drinks. Did anyone else meet Peg in Birmingham?

Thank you, that puts a bright spot on me weekend.

And there is more I'm still here at the Mo,in a B&N bookstore typing on my little netbook before I catch my flight later today.

When I'm back I can give you more details.

[Tonyblack]

Have a safe flight Dug!

[Catch-up]

I'm back! Had a wonderful time and got to meet so many people, including Who's Wee Dug! He was wonderful. Beth I'm sorry to say I didn't meet Peg. If I'd known earlier, I would have kept an eye out for her.

The charity auction raised $22,000!! And Terry said it was the best convention he'd ever been to. Of course, that was right after the bellydancers so that might have influenced him.

[Tonyblack]

Great to have you back Susanne!

I guess it wasn't such a joy meeting me then!?

DAMN YOU #135!!!! WE SHALL HAVE OUR REVENGE!!!!

It was an pretty amazing auction! I actually won an item! I won a UK paperback copy of Hogfather movie tie in with Michelle Dockery as Susan on the cover for $65 and that was one of the cheapest items!!!! NO LIE!!!

Soon photos will be posted!

Sorry for the fuzzy photos. Camera was a little off. Might have been the HEAT!
