Is there a thread yet? Am I being redundant redundantly? I was just checking the list of attendees which is now 24 over the "limit" of 800 and saw tailing there at the end POOHCARROT!

Just in time! :lol:

It'll cost me an arm, a leg and probably my spleen too, but as I've never seen TP in the flesh, it'll be worth it.

Oh I'm so glad and I'll be able to meet you! Yes, it isn't cheap that's for sure but worth every cent and you WILL meet Terry and have a chance to sit down and talk. Sign up for all the klatches that you can so that you have a chance for a semi-private sit-down with him. They do a separate klatch for people flying from overseas.

What's a klatch?

Think fire side chat with about 10-12 people. they will post sign up sheets in a central area and it is first come first served.

At the USDWCon in Tempe I was in one with Bernard Pearson and most of the stamp forum people there. Was a lot of fun. You ask any question you want and they are obligated to answer, espc if you bring a Banananannanana Daqurie or a Bannnannaaanna with any alcohol in the vicinity Terry will be your BFF! :lol:

Yes the klatches are great (see coffee klatch) generally it's a pot of coffee and a small group of people. It's your chance to ask questions that you may not have a chance to ask due to Terry being surrounded a great deal of the time. Unless he is wearing his Silas T. Firefly badge and then you leave him alone.

Do you know the greatest story never told? Weave your tale and spin your yarn, whether a shaggy-dog story or a bardic drama, and you could come out on top.

Oooh! I could read my Gloob of Thannook story.

Oh man, there are some travel stories I could tell. I could tell my Timothy Leary story.

Will be good fun listening to all this

Y'all think of me when you're there. I won't be able to go ... :cry:

I've moved this topic the Terry Pratchett forum, where it's less likely to get buried.

Just booked the Hilton for 5 nights! Arriving a day early to get over jet lag.
I couldn't book before because I didn't realise there weren't meant to be gaps in the credit card number. :roll:

In similar fashion.
"For shopping," says he,
"I detest with a passion.
A pink tartan kilt
and a red woollen sweater
Is all I require.
There's nought I like better".

So who's going to lend me a pink tartan kilt/skirt and a red sweater, then?
Size L or XL sweater, large skirt/kilt.
If I'm going to read the Gloob and it's a competition, I'm going to try my best to win. (my game fetish!) (see chapter 3 of the Gloob of Thannook)

If you're very, very good* I might be persuaded to knit you a customised red sweater - knitting is one of my less obvious talents although I do of course have a better-known affinity for pointy things... :twisted:

*like keeping your pacts to yourself, at least for the 1st round in Oh Gods! :roll:

As for the kilt...

From Pinkkilt.com.

Or you could get one of these on eBay and adapt it.
