I plan to be there Thursday eveing as well - assuming I don't forget my ticket this year and turn round and go back for it.

I wouldnt miss the Thursday night - that is very much part of the Blackpool expierence.

Mark - will you have a pint waiting for me at the bar?

Silly question, is that worth it going down the night before? I might change my plans if so but I couldn't get there until at least 8

we've just launched a new feature on www.magicconventionguide.com for Blackpool 2009.

http://www.magicconventionguide.com/200 ... ur-guides/

Conventions can be hard work to attend, where do you eat? where do you park? how close is the convention center to the restaurants, hotels and so on.

Well we now bring you our interactive maps. In the guides we’ll start to put interactive maps that show the convention location, HQ hotel, local restaurants, coffee shops and places to eat, local places to stock up on supplies, some parking, pharmacy’s and so on.

We’ll also be collecting any click and print vouchers, or special offers we can find to make your convention cheaper.

You can click, zoom, drag and work with the map, and we’re very much interested to hear what you think of it.

We’re launching this for Blackpool 2009, and we hope to get some more up for the conventions we’re covering.

You can check out our guide (including the map) at : http://www.magicconventionguide.com/gui ... ion-guide/

and all the news and information on Blackpool as we report it (including live reporting during the convention) here: http://www.magicconventionguide.com/cat ... tion-2009/

We really hope you find it useful, and we can build on it going forwards..

Sounds good to me. Wouldn't be practical for me to go Thursday.
Cheers Buddy
