2000AD 40th Anniversary - 11th Feb 2017 - London

[shaolin_monkey]

Tickets and hotel booked - just travel left to sort. Given the cost already I'm eyeing Megabus.

But I don't regret a penny of it!!  😄😄😄

[Bad City Blue]

Really looking forward to this.

[Goaty]

No job, no payment from job centre for last 6 months cos of Universal Credit. So can't go. Have fun creeps!

I just booked. Wasn't going to, but then the wife said "well, it's been a big part of your life for 40 years" so...

Happy to share a room with anyone who wants to buddy up; I'll likely go for two nights but might stay with a pal on the Friday depending on what's going on.

Also, any Cal-habbers wanting to get a train down on the Friday?

Sorry X my flight is booked for Saturday morning and I have slightly worrying accommodation lined up. See you there - looks like a good %age of the bard/readership will be in attendance.

PM sent.

Er, worried that I won't be able to keep up with the cool kids! No, it will be great not least for the nebulising sleep onslaught!

Pretty much what happened with me; booked a ticket in case I could somehow swing a trip from Norway then the missus pushed me into it.  Now the whole family are now London-bound in February and I'll get to be a geeky kid for a whole day.

[Hawkmumbler]

I sincerely want to go, but not sure at present I can afford it. Time will tell.

[Satanist]

You can all relax as I can now confirm I will be there!

Oh that's great news. Now all we have to do is make sure there's enough Lego to let you run riot and we can sit and make stuff all day.

Don't suppose there's any chance you'll have any of the sketchbooks to hand when you land?

Thanks!  See you there...

With a bit of luck I'll bring enough Lego to make a few fatties to give away on the day.  As for the sketchbooks, if any artists currently in possession are attending there might some on hand, yes *cough* inkymonkey *cough*.  Will be very weird for me to see things first-hand; 42 contributions so far and I've only seen one of them myself.

Speaking of which, I have something to add to that thread.
