Samlomax Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hey all, I will be attending the Saturday on my todd (again) wanted to know who's going Saturday night party? i didnt go party at last event so bit nervous, anyone else attending alone? Me too lol. I'm attending alone but have been assured by people here on the forum and on the FB page that there's gonna be loads of people both in groups and alone there so not to worry. If in doubt I can very easily stalk you for the weekend lol. Sami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmwheels Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I will probably be attending with someone else,but that's not certain. Am happy to say hello, etc. But, having been to DST3 parties, I found people very friendly, so recommend coming along :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Hey, I have 3 trekkies on my crew lol. Non of whom seem that keen on going due to the expense! So I may be going alone for the full weekend, but I don't mind because I'm going to be with my people :) See you at qwarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmoriarty Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I will be with my PA and best friend from school, but one of the fun things I liked about DST3 was meeting new people. Will happily do so again, and thoroughly recommend going to one of the parties. Alcohol always make introductions that little bit easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesmd85 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'll be going on my own also as I'm sure many will be. I'm hoping I'll meet some people and getting chatting to some fellow fans. Perhaps all of us that are flying solo should band together so that no one is left out? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEOLDBORGKING Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I'm also going on my own, that sounds a great idea to meet up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnyaWilcara Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) This will be my first time at DST and i will be on my own. I'm a little nervous about going. I've got tickets for both parties . Edited May 30, 2016 by AnyaWilcara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blogmanollie Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 First time at a con in cosplay, would be great to meet some like-minded trek fans who are also newbies :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinnyVonB Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 same here, flying over on the Friday, would be lovely to get chat to people in a similar situation before the weekend, get to know some others, so wont be too embarrassed to say hi to people. so who is up for becoming new internet friends haha, without a creepy undertone? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmwheels Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I went to DST3 on my own. I found, without exception, that people were very willing to 'engage' (sorry) and share, whether they were fellow newbies or old hands. I just got chatting to people as we queued - in line or at the bar - or sat waiting in talks. Having a love of Trek in common made it easier, and I came away with some new friends and a host of great memories - and photos. Connecting before Oct 7 could certainly make that even easier - even if it's just to agree a known location to meet and introduce yourself. But if not, my experience suggests you'll make connections anyway :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trancetrousers Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Connecting before Oct 7 could certainly make that even easier - even if it's just to agree a known location to meet and introduce yourself. This is what I've been meaning to ask on here. I'm going on the Sunday, 9th October. It'll be my first ever convention of any kind (a 50th birthday treat to myself), and I'll be going on my own. So, I was wondering, is there anyone on here from the Portsmouth area who'd like to attend with me?! Either a newbie like myself or an old pro, preferably a single lady though. If you're interested then please get in touch . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnyaWilcara Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'll be arriving on the Thursday now because I'm still unsure of all this rail business going on. Booked my travel already . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony1975 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I will be going by myself as none of my friends are Trekkies. It's no big deal for me as I have attended a few conventions on my own before. Not sure if I would have the confidence to go to the party by myself afterwards though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinnyVonB Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 never been to anything on my own before, would find it strange even the idea of going to the cinema by myself, but jumping into this convention fully and plan to head to the parties by myself if needs be. if i cant arrange to meet up with anyone before hand, i'm thinking people with a few drinks on them will be even more friendly.

Not sure if I would have the confidence to go to the party by myself afterwards though! By the looks of it there's quite a few of us by ourselves so as someone said we'll hopefully meet up and attend the party as a group. I hate attending parties alone so even though I have my tickets I'll only go if we do arrange a meet up 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesmd85 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'm going on my own also but I'm sure we will be OK. We Trekkies are good people. We should all make a pact that if anyone sees someone on their own at the parties that we introduce ourselves and pair up then take it from there so no one is alone and feeling awkward. Should be easy after a few drinks lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
