MrsStarbuck Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hi all, this will be my second time at Collectormania but my first time staying in the DoubleTree (Friday and Saturday night) and I was just wondering what people do in the evenings? Do people just hang around the hotel bar or are there places to go? I'll be cosplaying during the day and would love to keep my cosplay on in the evening if there were others around doing the same thing? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I stay at the Hilton and I have my dinner in the bar and have a few drinks. Last November it was very quiet in the bar although I did have a quick chat with Billy Dee Williams in there lol. So I went to Asda bought a load of junk food and eat it in my hotel room while watching the footy lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inga Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Last year, I went to spoons on the Friday night, there were loads of con people there. On the Saturday night I was at the Hilton, so we had a lovely dinner in the hotel restaurant. This year we're staying at the Premier Inn, so I'd love a meet up in one of the bars or pubs locally. If it's a cosplay-friendly meetup that would be even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
