2014 DWcon Manchester - The Grand Exhibition!

[shivers]

Are you going to Shamrokon in Dublin as well shivers.

I'm actually UK based these days so Shamrokon is more of a trek than Manchester. Haven't made up my mind yet, but I don't think I can afford it so soon after DWCon.

This little snippet from Snowgum films:
You’ll also note that our completion date is looking to be around late July. Whether we hit that date or not, we’d like to have an in-progress backers only screening sometime in August. If we do hit that date with a completed film - we’d still like to have that screening anyway.

So if anyone knows where we could find… oh, I don’t know… a large gathering of Discworld fans early August, let us know. We’d absolutely be up for some continent hopping.

:dance: But wait - they've been flirtatiously touting this to premiere at several cons already haven't they! No matter their podcasts/webcam interviews are always interesting and hilarious :twisted:

They're emailing bi-monthly progress reports I could post one Jan if you want to see the 1st one.
edited as I maDE A MISTOOK.

A report from a fan checking out the main hotel, sound promising.

OH MY GOD!! This is incredibly great! I didn’t know about this con but sounds amazing!

Those who are going there HAVE to keep us up to date about EVERYTHING, ok? Otherwise we’ll die of envy!!! XD

Oh, and if you meet Sir Pratchett send him this forum’s love and regards!! :* :* :*

The last couple of Cons have feature live blogging/updates on the website (dwcon.org) so I'm sure you'll be able to follow along when the time comes.

There will be photo's as Mad,I think Penners,Catch-up, phalarope, a few others and myself are going.

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

I'll be there too - complete with the housemate and the Great A'tuin coffee table for the Art Gallery (which is in need of some remedial work as 3 of the tusks on the ellies have been knocked out by doggy comet tails.... :shifty:

I've also confirmed with Eelco the head of Programme and they want the Discworld spoof of QI - Strangely Fascinating to run again. Will be looking for Elves to volunteer again v. soon

 

[michelanCello]

Ooo, Me, me!

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

The more of us the merrier Jan.

 

[Molokov]

I'll be one of the small handful of Australians present

I'm definitely going and so is my camera.

 

[The Mad Collector]

And so am I and my camera

I have also had some thoughts about Strangely Fascinating, just need to work them up into suitably confusing questions

I'll be one of the small handful of Australians present

Look forward to seeing you there

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

I have to hear back from Eelco still re the official convention theme but I think we can probably assume that it's going to be AM-centric so we can probably stick to the Watch, Moist and Unseen Academical as the 'modern' city side of it book-wise

Have also asked for Jacqueline Simpson and Stephen Briggs again and, if possible Rob or Rhianna with Chris B and Pat duking it out as to who's going to be the quiz master this time around

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I've no Transatlantic Worldcon to interfere with DWCon this time.

 

[Catch-up]

I'll be there! Can't wait to see you guys!
