further to cons

[julesjones]

I still don't think I'm likely to make it to Redemption, on the grounds that I'm unlikely to have the spoons for a con that particular weekend, but I have booked the Friday and Monday as annual leave so that I at least have the option if I feel up to it (and if I don't feel up to it, I'll probably want a long weekend anyway).

Conversation elsenet confirmed that the hotel for Eastercon next year is indeed not a happy choice for those who have diet issues -- some afpers had problems at Discworld because the hotel food was inappropriate for timing/content reasons, and it was difficult to find realistic alternatives if you weren't able/willing to drive in search of them. Since I will be limited to what I can take on a train, this is going to be a problem in a way that the current Redemption hotel emphatically isn't. I think I'll have to leave that one as a last minute decision.

Not really seeing anything else for next year on Ansible that says "must go", though there are a couple of small under-the-radar cons that probably won't turn up there anyway. Must keep an eye on their websites/LJs to see which ones are running next year.

You are one of the reasons I want to go if I have the spoons.

It's not entirely impossible to do as an overnighter if I don't feel up to a full long weekend, although at 3 hours each way it's not really feasible as a day trip.

Aww, thanks. It's been far too long since we met up.
