Got Peg 2 ticket

[selenay]

Got my Peg 2 ticket in the post yesterday - number 90 :-)

Anyone on my f-list want to pipe up with ticket numbers (if you have them yet)?

Judging by some of the comments on the Wolf message boards, I'm very glad that paranoidangel42 and I have already booked our room at the Sheraton - people are starting to report difficulties getting a room! I'm guessing that this won't be quite as small a con as it was last year.

Today I am mostly working and trying to leave at a sensible time. There will be no Internets at home due to all the computer equipment being moved to make way for a new window, but there is Holby City tonight.

I am considering signing up for femslash07. Would I be totally crazy considering I've never done a ficathon before in my life?

I'm so jealous. *SO* jealous! ::is green:: I'm glad you've got all your arrangements sorted! You'll have a blast. :)

{{hugs}} Sorry you can't come :-( Next time you're on this side of the Atlantic, we'll have to arrange some kind of meet up to celebrate your presence :-)

Having arrangements (and now having tickets in my sticky paw) sorted relieves me a little, at least, and I'm now starting to really look forward to it. At least we've got tickets and a place to stay! Now I just have to get there early enough to snag tickets for a DH photo session...

421 *g* See ya there!

Squeee!! I will report on all the meet and greet goings on :-)

Ticket #409. :) hullfire and I got our room booked at the Sheraton last week. Did you stay there last year? Do you what the check-in and check-out times are? I could phone or email the hotel folks, but thought someone's experience would be more helpful.

SO EXCITED!

*g* We've stayed there several times - it's much nicer than the Thistle while also being cheaper!

Check-in is, I think, after 2pm and check-out is by 12pm. There is a restaurant on site, which is better than the Thistle's, or there's a McDonalds opposite the Thistle. You can usually get parked without much problem if you arrive in the afternoon. I think we often end up with only one key card between the two of us, but that's not too bad if you co-ordinate properly.

We'll have to try to spot each other over the weekend!

Thanks for the info! It certainly looked like a pretty decent hotel from the website photos, but I know those can be misleading.

I didn't bother telling them I've changed my address, so my ticket'll take an extra day to get redirected.

Sign-up, you don't know until you try. And I've found there's nothing quite like a deadline for actually getting you to write. And finish something.

[selenay]

Have you had it yet then?

And I've found there's nothing quite like a deadline for actually getting you to write. And finish something.

That's what I'm figuring at the moment. I'm getting work done on the original novel, but haven't had much inspiration lately for writing fic. I'm hoping that being given some kind of prompt (even if it's just a fandom and a pairing) and a deadline might spur something!

[paranoidangel]

Have you had it yet then?

Not yet. But then the post round here is really quite shite. So I expect it this time next week, probably

[selenay]

Hope you get it before we leave! I'm reasonably confident that you're ticket will be near to 92 - we were queuing together, after all :-)

[paranoidangel]

Oh, yes, that's true. If it doesn't turn up I'll dig out the credit card statement with it on, so I can prove I paid.

[selenay]

Remember to bring that along if it hasn't turned up! Somehow, me vouching for seeing you buy the ticket won't work...

I got ticket number 109.

[selenay]

Squeee! You'll be joining us in the meeting and greet then. Although possibly we'll just be cameras passing in the aisle as usual...

Starting to get rather excited by the whole thing :-)

Hopefully I'll have a better meet and greet than the one at SG-11. I was still on BST for SG-11 and was ready to fall asleep only part way through the meet and greet. Oh yeah and I was on a table where I vaguely knew the three women to my right then the rest of the table were a group of fairly excitable girls. With my hearing difficulties in such a noisy environment I couldn't follow anything much anybody was saying - I have been known to get paper and pen out and ask people to write things down if they want to communicate with me.

{{{hugs}}}

Hopefully you'll manage to find a table with reasonably sensible people this time! My biggest concern is that I'll be so knackered from the week at work I'll be falling asleep during the meet and greet, particularly if my back continues with the tricks it's been pulling over the last couple of days. I have to remember to get early nights next week so that I'm at least semi-awake Friday evening.

PS. If we're near by at the meet and greet, feel free to get out a pen and paper :-)
