I did feel like a child. A rather unusual way to feel young again. Cat holds great parties though. She has all the nice touches like blue cocktails and jelly dinosaours on the glasses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066416.post-11450611730908283942007-06-16T06:52:00.000+08:002007-06-16T06:52:00.000+08:00Have the hotel not hosted FSF cons before then?The...Have the hotel not hosted FSF cons before then?<BR/><BR/>The hotel here on the rock that we've used for a couple of the British Eastercons actually welcomes our return because they know the fans (and professionals) are maybe a little eccentric but otherwise a well-enough-behaved amiable crowd who won't trash the joint. :o)hrugaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621922879300266376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066416.post-20882376612484061702007-06-15T19:40:00.000+08:002007-06-15T19:40:00.000+08:00It was the hotel that did the threatening.

And i think the delusion was that a simple request would not have worked.<BR/><BR/>A hotel employer remained outside the door, standing well back to make sure we left - and the expression on her face was a picture. She obviously expected to be abused by a mob of unruly drunkards carrying beer cans and slopping alcohol. Instead, what she got was a far from drunk crowd of (mostly) respectable writers/ publishers/ professionals trooping out in an orderly fashion, grumbling mildly, all somewhat bemused at being threatened with a police presence. It was actually quite funny.Glenda Larkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113271268122909969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066416.post-38079367550272900522007-06-15T07:38:00.000+08:002007-06-15T07:38:00.000+08:00Presumably it wasn't the police threatening the ac...Presumably it wasn't the police threatening the action, but some spoilsport civilian with delusions of being able to sleep during a con?<BR/><BR/>Darren has put on weight, bless him - it's either those publishers' lunches or the joys of fatherhood.hrugaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621922879300266376noreply@blogger.com
