Discworld Convention 2012 Launched

[Jan Van Quirm]

Talking of corsets and saucy ladies - I'm going to be dressing up more this time (for our Temple of the Lady mainly) and will be 'doing a Sadie' at some stage (I got a parrot-headed umbrella special for it). Do we know a Dotsie with a big handbag...?

[Dotsie]

Ooo oo me me!

[Jan Van Quirm]

I can just see us 'enforcing' in the gambling den

I've also got a Mrs. Earwig style witch outfit and of course Ysabell (when she was still a chocoholic) - I'll probably leave Jackrum behind this time as it's hot wearing the jacket/cardi for that.

[The Mad Collector]

The vampire will re-appear at some point over the weekend but I have a new costume for the Gala Dinner bearing in mind that this convention is set at the time of the first books so later characters won't be appropriate.

[The Mad Collector]

Oh - and has anyone been and clicked the 'I want to be the Head of an Order' button yet? Let me make this very clear - I'm NOT going to click it...

No, although I was VERY tempted as there was a warning sign telling me not to press it and I'm curious what it does

I did

What have I done...............

[Sjoerd3000]

Death will make an appearance somewhere Since this con is set at the time of the first books I can be nasty

Sort out large amount of cardboard for Hedgehog Race



Arrange cover in the shop so that I can actually go - oh bugger

[michelanCello]

Hedgehog race...?

Edit: I thought you had that young girl who wanted to do a summer job...?

[The Mad Collector]

The hedgehog race is a traditional part of convention and needs lots of cardboard, I don't know why maybe they eat it *

Megan cannot work the weekend of convention because she is on holiday





* Actually the hedgehog race needs cardboard to build things but nobody knows what yet as it is different each convention

[michelanCello]

Ah, I see...well, I'm sure there are lots of enthousiastic youngsters waiting for a summer job. I know there are here. There's a shortage of summer jobs...

[Who's Wee Dug]

I'm toying with the idea of not going it's going to be a bit tight for time, and it would be the 1st DWCon I have missed in the UK.

[michelanCello]

Oooow, c'mon, WWD! You don't wanna miss this!

[Who's Wee Dug]

No I dont really want to break my record but........

[TwoShotTino]

Have you a lot going on in life at the moment?
