Bristol Farewell...

[locustsofdeath!]

Ah yes, shaping up to be an epic con! I'll be there of course, and my wife's coming too (I've finally convinced her). It'll be great to see Colin and Bolt and his Lordship and Fiery Bou again, and all you new faces (to me) too!

Me and Mr Dave Thomson are at table 75 flogging our glorious wares.

FQP & Zarjaz are at table 78, while Satchmo and Mike Battle will be at table 80! Cool room!

Fiver says it degenerates into a war with rubber bands being fired across the bows...
EDIT: ...Just as Mrs Locusts walks into the room...

And table 77 is WJC, I want to get his Kani comic.

Wait, I'm confused, is there more than one bristol comic event type thing, because there is more than one site.

[Bolt-01]

Will, there are actually two events now; One for all the mainstram comic-types, and then there is the Small Press Expo round the corner. I'm in two minds as to whether this works, as I really loved the free-for-all nature of the commonwealth Hall the event used to be in, but Fallen Angel are doing their best.

Plus- the Small Press venue has glorious air-con, while the Ramada is like wading through a swamp full of nerd sweat and farts.

This is true... I had to unexpectedly catch up on a lettering job on the Sunday last year and spent about four hours on my laptop with the delightfully cool bar almost entirely to myself, barring a walkthrough cameo by Al Ewing.

Can anyone definitely confirm if 2000AD are going to be there? I was hoping to go this year after an unfortunate absence but if they won't be there...

[Simply Si]

Unfortunatley I won't be able to make Bristol due to work commitments in Egypt which means that Bolt's charm and sales pitches won't make me part with £1.50, don't worry Bolt I'll save it for Birmingham!

There's hardly enough going on at the 2000AD stand to keep you occupied for a two day convention, so I'm slightly mystified at the idea that their absence alone would make the Con a non-starter...

No it's not that , it's just I haven't been in a long while but every time I read on here after the event , there's always someone who has to mention how great it was and so and so was there who did this and that for me , and I didn't want to miss out this year.
Or am I not understanding it right? The 2000ad droids will be at the 2000ad table , no?
Like I said , I haven't been for ages and even then I'm too embarassed to queue up for a sketch and always miss out  .

[bluemeanie]

Looking like me and the wife going to be at Bristol now. Not sure if its just a hit and run on the Saturday or if we're staying over

But I'm 99% sure that while the usual 2000AD faces will be there, there isnt a 2000AD table this year.

[Matt Timson]

WTF?!? An extra £90 to stay at the Ramada this year?!?  I don't think so- looks like I might be giving it a miss after all...
