FantasyCon 2010

We have only just arrived home a couple of hours ago from FantasyCon 2010, so I'm not really up to sayiong too much about it yet, except that this was one of the best, most interesting and well-organised conventions I have ever been too. It was also great to meet so many interestsing and nice people.

Anyway, as an appetiser here are a few photos we took there:

    That would have been great, though there are several people I had arranged to meet there that I never bumped into - conventions are like that, aren't they? Are you going to Brighton next year?

    Hi David. Thanks for taking some pics - I don't think there are any others of the Pan launch. Thanks also for your company at dinner on the Saturday night. It was really good to see you again & to talk 'proper horror'! Hope to see you soon.

    Best

    John & Kate

    David, I was only there for the Saturday, but I was disappointed not to meet you. I actually had Charles Black and Gary McMahon looking for you at one point, so I could introduce myself. Never mind. Maybe next time.

    Hi John, I really enjoyed meeting you and Kathleen. And, as for your reading on Saturday night, that was one of the highlights.

    Sorry to have missed you, Steven. These events don't colme round all that often. The next I'm off to is the Halifax Ghost Story Festival at Halloween.
