someone replied to my mail on the list, so I've decided on the 'safe' route now - I'm sharing a room at the Jury Inn with a fan from Hungary. Sorry... I'm a wuss, I guess. I was just getting really nervous about the whole sneaking-into-the-hotel issue, so I'm quite relieved now. But thanks for the offer, anyway. :-)
And of course we still have to meet and spend time together and stuff! As far as I know there'll be exactly four BABEs at the con. I guess we'll be the four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse! *g*
Well, I'm not sure about my phone, either, so we should probably find a way to meet that does not require phones. I'll be arriving in Leeds at 19:45 on Friday evening. I expect it will take me at least half an hour or so to get to the hotel and get settled there, but maybe we could meet later in the evening, perhaps at the Queens' bar, or at a restaurant? I'm probably going to be downright ravenous - by the time I arrive I'll have spent 9 hours on the coach. So, I'd probably really appreciate dinner with my BABE clansibs. On the other hand, I suppose I could also have dinner with my unknown roommate, if she doesn't have plans for the evening... or we could just all have dinner together. What do you think?
I'll be staying until Tuesday, too, though I haven't booked a room for Monday night yet - my Hungarian roommate leaves on Monday. Maybe *then* sharing your room would be an option? I'm a lot less nervous about sneaking into (and out of) a hotel *once* than I am about doing it for four days. *g* I'll be meeting a friend from Farscape fandom who lives near Leeds on Monday for half a day or so, but we could still at least spend some time together in the morning and of course in the evening.
Well...
