Psychosis Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Probably - what date is easter? And you don't mean to move Eclipse, do you? Eclipse is perfect for me where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morden Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 If you mean the weekend flanked by two bank holidays, then YES! Finding the holidays to go to cons is always an issue, so that weekend is far from a problem! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acdfolk Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I would, especially since it's during spring break, but then I would be spending something like £1,000 in the course of a month. o_o; But don't let me rain on your parade. =) Sounds like a great idea, even though I have no idea what it's for.

jael001 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) theoretically I could do it, but having another con the week after Eclipse and just a couple of weeks before Lockdown may make finances difficult for lots of people.

Zarina Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 theoretically I could do it, but having another con the week after Eclipse and just a couple of weeks before Lockdown may make finances difficult for lots of people.

zebredy Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 theoretically I could do it, but having another con the week after Eclipse and just a couple of weeks before Lockdown may make finances difficult for lots of people. My thougths exactly. Ditto, it might be a good time due to bank holidays etc to hold a con, but showmasters your looking at holding events you can make money from, how you gona make as much money when people have already decided what there pay is going on. It would have to be something very big to take peoples money away from other conventions your running that they might be going too, and spending there money on, though theres always going to be at least one person who can aford to them all, Im afraid this time it isn't me . Thats just my opinion. LLAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyKid197 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 If it was an event I really wanted to go to, then Easter would actually be better because I wouldn't have to take annual leave. And if it's in Northampton, travel wouldn't be a problem either. *still disappointed she can't make Aftermath* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobbs Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 if the event is something/has peep's im intrested in then i'll be there no matter what time of the year its held Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Home Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 One time of year I canNOT attend a convention - family comes first! Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leana Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Easier for me (from France) because we always have some days off with religious holidays dates.. For Eclipse, as i am a teacher, i will have to be 'ill' and i don't really like lying like that...But for Zachary, i'll do worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keladryie Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Depends on what the event is. I live in Australia =p So it has to be worth it XD But the dates would be fine - as long as the event is worth it I'd go during any dates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerinc1234 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 if the event is something/has peep's im intrested in then i'll be there no matter what time of the year its held fully agree it all depends what it is not when it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imaniac Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Yes, definitely. There have been events in the Netherlands on Easter, and I have always gone to those. The good thing about it is, most people don't have to work ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morden Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 theoretically I could do it, but having another con the week after Eclipse and just a couple of weeks before Lockdown may make finances difficult for lots of people. I've done back to back (and back to back to back) cons before. VERY tiring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovbug Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 i have nothing agaisnt a con being at easter time. However its unlikely i will be able to get time off work, as term time goes to priority people with kids. So i doubt i could come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz931 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I suppose it depends on what the show actually is. I have to say though, not everyone is a Heroes or Lost fan, so this should have no real bearing on the show you are talking about. I support it.
