I get down to brighton all too infrequently, But I'll definitely be down over the weekend of the 19th for the first Brighton Comics Expo.

So, is anyone else going to this? And does anyone in Brighton have any crash space?

Hah! I was just coming to start a thread saying exactly the same thing!

Got some space on a table where I'll be peddling my wears. It's also my 30th birthday on the Saturday. Come along and buy one of my comics as a special treat to me. I've got the upstairs of the Victory for the pupose of drinky celebrating afterwards (from 7.30). All welcome.

The Victory is a green pub at the top of Middle Street, by the way. Not too far from the expo.

I'll be loitering near the Weebl and Bob table, drinking in the deliciously geeky atmosphere, but only on the Sunday.

Count yourself lucky, GGM. I'll be in town, but the way my month is going I'm gonna be sodding skint.

Look, look at the colourful things, but you may not buy them. Oh no.

Boo.

Oh, I never go to conventions to buy stuff. I just go to see friends!

I notice everyone is avoiding the question of putting any of us up... Surely someone can house little old me for one night? :: pouts ::

Well, were I in town I'd be going, if only to support me good pal Fraely, but sadly I'm off to deepest, darkest, rural Sussex that weekend and so won't be able to put anyone up.

Soz guys.

I'm afraid I have to put my Brother up, as he is also attending said event.

Apologies folks. Try kipping on the beach Quadrophenia style.

Gary Lactus

Gotta put birthday guests up. Cannot make kind offers.
sorry

Spaniel

11:06 / 10.11.05

Sleaze, why don't you PM (or indeed phone) Just Some Guy and/or Wedding-Heat? Wedding-Heat will be away with me that weekend so his room will be free.

Has anyone recieved their ticket yet? Mine has failed to arrive. I emailed Quality and they insisted they're going out this week in a bulk mail-out.

You're a clean man, sleaze, so you're welcome to our spare sofa bed unless we end up in Nottingham for someone's birthday... not sure as of yet if our pennies will stretch to that, so I'll keep you posted.

Gonna be down there because of work, so If any 'lithers will be attending, feel free to pop by the Panini/Marvel/Dr Who booth and say hello (ask for Ed). I'll be there all day Saturday (or in the bar).

The Natural Way

16:57 / 16.11.05

Actually, I'm in Brighton Sat night, so I won't be putting anyone up in my bed.....

That said, Sleaze, if you do need 2 bed down, you could always use my living room.

Haus of Mystery

13:40 / 17.11.05

I won't be there sadly. In Venice, not sadly. But head towards the Dave's table or the small press one next to it for MacGoodness. Hope you all have fun.

_Boboss

15:18 / 17.11.05

seriously? all of you cunts are fucking off for not only his thirtieth but the local comic do as well? you have no strength of character, any of you. i'll come to the pub for you fraely, and we can talk about how shit they are and how old you are.

Spaniel

18:22 / 17.11.05

I've apologised to Fraely and bought him a present and offered him dinner next week. That makes me a very thoughtful friend.

In all seriousness, I'm pretty pissed off that I have to go anywhere this weekend, but I have a birthing centre and my own belated 30th birthday do to attend (family - uncancellable). Fart.

lord nuneaton savage

08:28 / 18.11.05

Don't worry Fraely, me and gumby'll be your mates and get you drunk and stuff.

Although you might have to buy me a drink 'cos I'm skint.

Gary Lactus

10:27 / 18.11.05

Gambichkkchtch, are you going to the expo, son?

_Boboss

10:32 / 18.11.05

yeah fer sher - i'll come and see you at yer table - but which day? i was thinking sat. really, but if you have any news on the timetable, reasons why sun. may be better, let's hear it. i kind of want to see millar talk, and the alan moore movie, and i don't know when they are. i daresay i'd find the rich johnston thing on the sunday amusing, but i'm not keen on the notion of buying tickets for both days.

_Boboss

10:40 / 18.11.05

oh ok, just had a look at the timetable - i don't know now really - not going to see the moore thing because it clashes with the pub on saturday, and the millar thing is lunchtime sunday, so maybe i'll go then... events wise, this is all loking a bit dim. so, really i'm paying a tenner just to wander around some back issue bins (and maybe ask millidge how he managed to get two issues of strangehaven out with only a three/four month gap) - seems quite a price for the privilege, but sod't. what day do you reckon will be funnest? i'm inclined towards saturday.

_Boboss

10:43 / 18.11.05

actually, i might change my mind about that - sunday looks more intresting potentially - hangover though, tricky one...

sleazenation

12:08 / 18.11.05

I have no idea what is going on on each day - would probably pony up the cash for both days... might change my mind when i see the prices on the doors...

Scrubb is on a downward spiral

14:40 / 18.11.05

Rather than being at t'actual expo, I'll be on cover duty at Brighton's Only Comic Shop - come and say hi/drag me out for exciting drinking action afterwards!

sleaze, have pm'd you.

sleazenation

00:54 / 19.11.05

gotcha.

Bear

11:03 / 19.11.05

Will you all be beering later on in the day? Sleaze I think I have your mobile I'll send a text later to see if people are pubbing...

Gary Lactus

10:37 / 22.11.05

I would just like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Sleaze for coughing up a tenner for my massage in the pub on Saturday night. It was wonderful. You were either incredibly nice and generous or incredibly drunk and stupid (like me). Either way, thank you.
