Never been to the Blackpool convention, but I'm hugely allergic to crowds.

It's only a few weeks before the South Tyneside convention too, and I like that one a lot. Very friendly and easy-going. And I'm a Geordie, so it has that additional pull for me.

Only 44 days to go now!!!!!

I'm sorry, can you say that again, I had something crazy in my ear!

You will find that the Blackpool convention is 99% male, the other percent is made up of (in decreasing order) barmaids, assistants, girlfriends and female magicians.*

*all statistics made up on the spot and do not reflect real percentages, but i could be convinced to argue they are actually correct.[/quote]

The sad thing is, you are most probably right about the order! I was always being ignored by dealers who assumed I was an assistant, until I got a snazzy suit BTW I am going

Is anyone meeting up say in the bar anytime Saturday or Sunday as I would love to put faces to names.

I know most of you, if not all of you will be going to the ruskins after the shows, but a meet during the day would be great.

So I'm up for a pint and a quick chat if anyone is bored enough to meet me...lol

Your most likely to spot the "usual suspects" in the bar at pretty much any given time during the convention!! The usual suspects being myself, Lawrence, and Agecroft.




Its the rule that the forum newbies buy the beer

I know what Lawrence looks like saw him in the ruskins last year but did not say hello as was a bit shy..lol

Will look out for him in the bar then hopefully you will be sat with him.

Can't wait for blackpool this feels like it is going to be a good one.

I'll be there but only Sunday:new baby limits funds. F-in-L Stuart will be there from Friday, grab him if you see him. I'm staying at the Albany I think!

I'll give Agecroft a ring when I get there to arrange a meet.

True, True.
If anyone wants my mobile number in case of getting lost trying to find me at a bar just drop me a PM and you can have it if you don't seem like some kind of wierd stalker (standard stalkers will be fine though (and ones that are weird in a sexual way (Mark, you already have my number I'm sure))).

It is dissappointingly small at the moment.

LOL

OK, can we get back on topic now?
Anyone else to chime in?

Are we hitting a club at any point? Looks like just me and Agecroft are in at the moment. Friday night club night?

Actually, you are wrong, he doesnt balance his ball on his eyebrow... the eye brow has actually grown on his ball, so he puts it there to make himself look normal...
