Can I bring someone else? Gareth Fry, he's called. He looks a lot like me and will remain in the toilets after introducing himself (while I'm in the toilets). I'll take his meal through to him after each course is delivered. Exhausting work - I always come back slightly bloated with the effort. But Gareth does like his curry and it would be unkind to deny him two servings, I mean, his servings. | ||

Gary ... me and Cath are going to be there as well. Don't know if it's too late to include us, or not? | ||

We'll have to give it a miss I'm afraid GCW. I know I'm going to be putting my all into reading a Pan Horror Story (hooray!) at the Pan Book of Horror launch on the Saturday night & someone's told me I'm probably involved in something else as well that I can't reveal just yet, so I don't honestly think I'd be able to make it Hugs to Soozy, though!  | ||

Ok Lord P no probs! You can hug her yourself when we get there! gcw | ||

Lord P says: >>I know I'm going to be putting my all into reading a Pan Horror Story (hooray!) at the Pan Book of Horror launch on the Saturday night<< Oooo, that sounds rather good. Looking forward to that. And can I have a hug from you too?  (ooops, better be careful - is Lady P around?  ) | ||

Get in line, Caroline! | ||

Oh, sorry Mick - I didn't realise you were in the queue in front of me.  | ||
| Mick Curtis (Mick) Username: Mick Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.177.115.49 |
Exactly! Mind you, if he proves elusive I may have to cadge a second-hand hug from you or Soozy! | ||

Heya Caroline - the story that's been picked for JOhn to read will be quite the something...trust me and it should be a good launch - there are going to be some free goodies - replicas of some of the memorabillia from my Pan collection - and of course some free booze behind the bar. Hope to finally see you there! | ||

@Johnny M - hiya Johnny! Sounds good. Freebies too. Hope there's some free orange juice though, as I don't drink alcohol (bad for me  ). Yes, I hope to see you at last too! @Mick - if a hug from me is only 2nd best to a hug from Lord P I'm not so sure about that ... | ||

Hey all Just wondered if we needed to shift the booking to half an hour later, in case any of us wanted to go to Stephen Jones' Post-Brighton thing? I mean, there's apparently free wine... Also, Wendy now can't attend FCon, so we're down by one for this - apologies. I shall be dateless S | ||

We have no problem in changing the time, but 6.30 seemed like a good time because it means people attending the curry could also return to the Awards later in the evening. Does anyone know if anything else is going to clash with the curry being at 6.30? as the FantasyCon site is a bit vague on times of signings etc, at the moment. At the end of the day, you cant be everywhere, if things are clashing we will look at changing the time to later but bear in mind the later it is the longer it will take to get everybody fed as they get busy at Chutneys. So please let us know if you have any signings etc that will clash with the current 6.30pm. Thanks, gcw & Soozy.x | ||

Chutney's is aonly about 5 minutes away from the hotel, isn't it? Sod it, we can get the free wine and still make the curry on time!! S | ||

Oh no! Does this mean that no one's going to the Banquet?! And if not, why not? Is there something I should know? ;) | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 88.104.135.73 |
I'd rather go at 6.30p.m. so we don't have to rush the meal.... | ||
| Zed (Gary_mc) Username: Gary_mc Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 195.166.117.210 |
Yeah, leave it at 6:30, I reckon. | ||

Hi Carole! You'll be meeting/catching up with many writers at the Never Again launch. I'll bet some of them will be going to the banquet :>). | ||
| Gcw (Gcw) Username: Gcw Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 81.158.238.131 |

GCW, I posted this on the lovely Soozy's FB page, but can we count in my buddy Charles Rudkin for the curry? | ||
| Gcw (Gcw) Username: Gcw Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 81.158.238.131 |
Yeah sure Zed, I will put him ... daaaaaaaaaarrrrhhhhnnnn. gcw | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 88.104.135.73 |
'my buddy Charles Rudkin for the curry?' Our buddy...we all want him. Remember cocktail night at WHC Brighton? I, however didn't go to the casino...How much did you lose? Zeddy boy? | ||
| Mick Curtis (Mick) Username: Mick Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.182.155.251 |
He lost his shirt. And his trousers. | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 88.104.135.73 |
Is there any chance of adding the artist, Dani Serra, to the list? He's coming over from Italy, speaks little English and is on his own. | ||
| Carole Johnstone (Carolej) Username: Carolej Registered: 04-2010 Posted From: 194.176.105.55 |
@ Gcw: Cheers so much for the invite. Unfortunately I've already booked banquet - maybe next year instead? I love a good curry | ||
| Soozy (Soozy) Username: Soozy Registered: 09-2009 Posted From: 195.147.185.253 |
Yes Ally, I will add him to the list |
