This year's extravaganza
May. 22nd, 2008 01:27 pmGreetings earthlings.
China and I have had preliminary discussions (and two whole meetings! sort of!) about this year. We have at the very least decided upon a date, whereupon you may all begin to plan, or at least envisage possibility.
The weekend we've decided on is the 4th and 5th of October, and as usual starting from the Friday afternoon/night (3rd) for anyone who happens to have blown into town early/live here.
We're exploring options re venues and accommodation at this stage, and will keep you posted.
I'd like to put out a call for papers though. Heh. Sounds like an academic conference. Even so.
Pimps and highlight reels, as always, welcome, but if you ever feel a sudden mad desire to use your editing powers for evil, or to abuse powerpoint, or to hand out questionnaires, let this day be that day!
I, myself, am currently, for your edification, for lols, for Great Justice, because I need practice, etc, editing together the entirety of forty years of Doctor Who canon into fifteen minutes. I consider this a constructive use ofschool my time. :-D
Take up the challenge! Be all you can be! Go Navy!

Date: 2008-05-22 07:16 am (UTC)I would offer to pimp, but I think I am basically a year behind the curve on everything and we've already had excellent pimps for what I'm in. :D

Date: 2008-05-22 09:55 pm (UTC)I may not *quite* make the fifteen minute edit mark. But I'm the boss. I'll just slow time down. "I'm a Timelord, I have that right." Ahem.
Yes indeed, think of something. Even for existing fandoms, that don't need "pimps" per se, it's always really interesting to see a ship manifesto or whatever too, just throwing that out there. There are several that haven't been done.
no subject
Date: 2008-05-24 04:14 am (UTC)I will do anything I can to make it down this year, though I don't have anything planned for pimping. Yet. But I'll think about it, for sure. :)
