All Activity

So I checked my Eventbrite account on the app and all the tickets I have paid for are transferred over and listed as 2027, so my guess is that they’re currently down for that event, and they’re not be moved sideways to another event with the hope I either attend that or don’t notice to claim a refund

The guests will have been informed about the change before the announcement, and I imagine contracts rolled over to next year. Anyone unable to attend next year would have been cancelled prior to the announcement. Or, to answer your question - Yes. Lol

I was at that one too.

The Slough ones were nice and relaxing, close enough to drive to, but for some of the weekend events i'd stay over. Especially the Project Motormouth where they had Peter Capaldi.

In my defense, the sat nav wasnt very clear.

Now to spend an hour or two filing away the 20 8x6s I got signed at the weekend.

If you're okay with it, I don't mind.

Not necessarily, but his last LFCC I didn't attend because of my ex not letting me do events without her, and I am forever resentful for that fact, sorry if that’s a little too personal

I guess you started collecting after Tom more or less retired from events.

What an idiotic fault, usless part

A lovely round number 0

Yes, I went to many of their events at Barking, & their events at Slough and Newcastle. I certainly remember Derek, & it was a shame when they stopped. The panel after the signing was a nice feature.

In other news, my latest car survived a trip to London this weekend, the only fault was the driver ignoring the sat nav

I mainly met him at the old Tenth planet events, now that was a company I was sorry to disappear from the convention scene, but the main organiser retired

Same, Ive met him several times,so didnt enter this one. I was surprised only 749 people entered the ballot though, guess its because Cygnus Alpha are not disrespect intended a small event company so might not be well known

How many times have you met him then?

I am jealous sir, I curse a thousand curses on you or getting stuck behind me in a queue again, whichever comes first

No, but I have met him at least 7 times so I can't complain.

So is it safe to assume that the guests who were attending the 2026 Con are now attending the 2027 Con?

I didn’t even try as sadly I knew with my luck it would be a lost cause

Did any of us beat the ballot for the Cygnus Alpha event with Tom

That makes a lot of sense.

The only guess I have, and it would line up is that “city of death” is a Douglas Adams, and given that his written stories only got official licensed novels under the Whitaker logo, along with “Shada” only getting released by accident, maybe copyright has prevented a popular character from returning. even “Original Sin” when adapted had to remove any direct mention to a character being Tobias Vaughan

It didnt even need to be his own audio. As you said he appeared with Tom and Lalla so they could have written for Duggan if they fancied it

I have often wondered that especially as Chadbon has done audios with Tom and Lala so it makes no sense
