Well, I had a tremendous time at Eastercon. The unprecedented fact that it had sold all available memberships beforehand boded well; and the hard work put in by the team paid off in almost every way.
I was amused at the parallel conversations I had with you and glitterboy1 - both of you started out by telling me that you hadn't seen the other for [19-20] years. :)
As noted previously, smallclanger is visible in your games room pic [navy tshirt with his back to the camera - it said "Trust Me, I'm The Doctor" on the front] and I believe he spent most of his time in there when not a) building robots or b) "sonicking" hapless Atrium lurkers while dressed as Eleven (apologies to anyone reading who was bounced upon!). I wish I'd had the chance to stop and play something with him, but sitting on the floor isn't an option for me and the room was rarely empty enough to find table space! (We more than make up for this at home, of course.)
Lovely to finally meet you, and I look forward to more opportunities!
> Unfortunately (as I found when compiling a subset of tweets on Monday morning for an event the previous evening) Twitter's memory is pretty shallow; to archive all of the Eastercon content at the time would have been pretty laborious, and by now it may be functionally impossible. Perhaps there are solutions here that I don't know about.
The project I was working on last year was a Twitter analytics system which should have been quite useful in recording tweets about a particular topic for subsequent reporting, analysis and statistics. If you have any suggestions for what would be useful to you at conventions then I am all ears.
Not sure, to be honest. Bradford is not quite as easy for me as Heathrow was. On the other hand I do want to support Juliet and her team. (And chilperic as FGoH.) So I will have to think about it.
It's not quite as easy, but it's not actually hard ;-)
Besides, you could make a detour to the National Media Museum to see the Dalek...
(Seriously, we couldn't afford it when it was last in Bradford, but can this time assuming nothign changes, and it's a single bus journey up the road, the hotel's around the corner from where Jennie was workign when I met her).
