Thought Bubble 2016 5-6/11/16

[Proudhuff]

I feel, that given I'm attending Thought Bubble primarily to network and make contacts, that getting horrendously drunk and making a complete idiot of myself might not be the best tactic.

I should probably focus on making a good impression.

I should be sensible.

Okay, we'll see how long that lasts.

yeah you don't want to stand out from the other, ahem, professionals.

[Bat King]

Really looking forward to catching up with lots of you!

I'm not doing my Reviews Booklet this year as I simply haven't reviews enough. Being in hospital really messed my year up.

I usually full the weekend getting people to autograph my review of their work so I'll have a ridiculous amount of spare time probably. So those of you with tables might get me hovering around even though I've not reviewed you much if at all...

[Colin YNWA]

Really looking forward to catching up with lots of you!

Alas wish I was one of them. However I've decided its hard to justify both this and the 40th at the moment and so prioritising doing the 40th properly. Such a shame as it'll be the second year on the bounce I've missed it ... next year I'll be back, next year...

[Hawkmumbler]

Well that sucks, Colin. OK it'a actually very reasonable but I'm being selfish so it sucks anyway!

[Colin YNWA]

Well I was only going to get Proufhuff to sign some stuff for me and since he'll be in London I can do that there!

[Rio De Fideldo]

The Boar burger in the Palace is recommended.  Lots of lovely mulled wine/cider to put you into a winter frame of mind.

[Hawkmumbler]

Ah it's all reet Colin, i'm just pulling your leg!

[Bolt-01]

Hmm, I might have forgotten to book a breakfast at the hotel this year- which means I will be able to go to the Palace for breakfast. For anyone else around- I was there last year and it was the best meal I had all weekend!

[Bhuna]

All of the meals at great at the Palace, but yea the brekki is a cracker.

Not long now 

[Hawkmumbler]

Well I do get breakfast thrown in with holiday inn, but considering how early I'll be out I might have to jump on a palace breakfast...

[Blockmaniac]

It's my first Thought Bubble, and I'm already ridiculously excited.
I'm nervous, too, as I'm hoping to present a script at the writing competition.
Fortunately, a friend I've known for years is keeping me company; early train down to get there at about nine in the morning, hotel opposite the arena and then the party. Can't wait.

[Old Tankie]

Just had a WhatsApp from the lad and daughter-in-law, he's in the pub, next to the hotel, already!  He's really looking forward to the weekend.  For the first time he's taking a table.  He's going to be in the Comixology Marquee (Table 23, I think, just down the road from the 2000AD stand). I know he'd like to see any of you guys and he'll happily do some sketches.  So, if you're in the area, pop over and say Hello.

[COMMANDO FORCES]

You should be there as well, come on, you know you want to

[Spikes]

Just got into my hotel - the Holiday Inn at the armouries - and though it's a little bit early, I'm now ready for my tea, and some pints...

[Dandontdare]

was planning a quiet one tonight but just got a text from a mate I haven't seen for ages, so I may be a little the worse for wear in the morning! 

Spikes - if those are Holiday Inn pints, I hope you took out a second mortgage before arriving!
