Discworld Convention 2012 Launched

[Penfold]

Not half as much as I am.

Dotsie, I still have that elf-ish cloak, do you want me to bring it along for you? Might be a bit on the long side for you, but that's stylish

Bless you! I tell you what, pack everything you want to, and if it fits in your case, then yes please But only if it fits, mind!

OK, I was curious, so now I'm packed And it fits perfectly

 

[Dotsie]

Cool!

I'm here! Currently sat in Ops taking a little break.

If you see me around I've got a purple committee shirt on and two name badges - one says Karen and ones says 'authorised to run amok'!

I've also got a radio headset on so I'm listening to the voices in my head...

[Toothy]

OK, so how come I haven't found any of you yet here at the Con? Must be going round with my eyes shut or something! I'm in a long navy and black gothic gown thing with a big collar. I'm member number 274 and have both a watch and gopher badge. For the Gala Dinner, I'll be in a long black dress with a sort of Egyptian style beaded collar to it. Sort of 'goddess wears black for a change to go out'. If you spot me (probably looking for errant offspring at various times), come and say hello!

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Toothy I have had to cancell at short notice, but you can find Jan and Co in The Dice Box which is in the Wyrmberg room which is handily just around the corner from Unseen University where SF will be showing she is doing the tarot cards etc.and we were involved in the Quiz.

We did indeed. Thanks, Dug.

The trailers were amazing, ramtopsman. Can't wait for these thing to come out on release. :clap:

Last day of the Con tomorrow but had a lovely little chat with Terry this evening which eases the blow. And it was fun to meet up with Jan, Mad, Penners, Dotsie, Sjoerd, mC and Tino for the first time.

Not a trailer unfortunately but a mood reel, clips of films put together to give a feel of how the production will look. So it's not even been cast yet, but it looks like they're after having some international names & big budget special effects
