Well, it's Wednesday evening and I've been home for three days… I'm glad I've got this week off work.
FantasyCon is always a blast; a good natured weekend of drinking, curry banter and occasional book-selling. Unfortunately, unlike previous years, I forgot my camera this time around… and because of that, my memory is hazy without the prompt of photographic evidence, therefore I shall just write a list of names who I either chatted too, or shared a drink and curry with (in no particular order):
Gary & Ly Greenwood, Marie & Paul, Martin & Helen, Vicky Cook, Steve Upham, Andrew Hook, Paul Meloy, Steve Lockley & Paul Lewis, Roy Gray, Mark & Adriana Samuels, Simon Morden, Gavin Williams, Vincent Chong, Ally Bird, Geoff Nelder, David & Rosemary Howe, Simon & Frances (all too brief considering their journey!); the Humdrummers (Troo, Lee and Guy); Terry & Liz Martin, Sam Stone, Pete & Nicky Crowther, Bob W, Mark Morris, Sarah Pinborough, Tim Lebbon, Mark Newton, "Diamond" Dai Price, Emily McMahon, and least but definitely not last: the We Fade to Grey-ers: Paul, Gary, Mark, Stuart and Simon.
There were also several more on Saturday night, where we discussed Garth Marenghi and the Large Haldron thingy.
Don't ask.
Anyway, both Mark Samuels and Mark West have far better Con reports than I.
In other news: sorting through the stock, I sadly report that both Rough Cut and The Mask Behind the Face are now out of stock, with The Extremist and In the Rain with the Dead very low (but, you can still buy copies from various book dealers on the interweb).
Also, half the limited edition of We Fade to Grey is now sold – if you do want a copy, then be bloody quick; the first printing of the paperback edition is also low in numbers.
Finally, I'm probably be going to NewCon4 next month… if I do, say hi. :)
