I'm reposting this as I'm an idiot and changed it to private before I went out.

I'm putting out tentative feelers here prompted by a comment by satsuma77 but it's something I've been thinking of for a while.

All you Brit gals, I'm thinking of interlock, trumpeterofdoom, simply_fly_away, seiyaharris, satsuma77 urbanoceanix nopsued and buttercupsleep if you're around.

How would you feel about a meet up sometime this year?

Obviously I know some of you much better than others but I'm not scary, promise. A shy dork maybe but I'm more than willing to put people up. I have marionettes people. Check out _jules_ post for marionette fun ;) I also have more footage and DVDs you could shake a stick at as well as other non sparkly fannish stuff. If you're into X Files, Trek, Mutant X, Angel, Buffy and The Sentinel anyway.

Which means none sparkly people are welcome too, heck, anyone would be welcome.

Or another option is to meet for dinner in the midlands somewhere, being as I live in the frozen north *g* I don't know, maybe book into a hotel for a night for a mini sparkly con.

Like I said I'm not doing dates or anything yet, I'm just feeling things out because I'd love to see you all :)

I'd love to come, but it's so not in my budget. Heck, I don't even have a budget!

I will come sometime, though. That's a threat promise. I'm into everything you mentioned except MX, but that's just because I haven't seen it yet.

I am up for a mini con, oh yes. Either at your place (poor James and Corey!) or somewhere in the middle. What about York, that's about mid-way to Scotland, it's it? Find a nice hotel, do dinner and stuffs.

I have sparkly DVDs and footage too, and Due South on DVD and the whole of The Sentinel on video (minus one episode, I think). And QAF (UK and US).

I think it's an excellent idea, Terri. I'm sure seiyaharris could drag saffronra along for the ride, too.

that's odd. I saw this post earlier, and when I went back it was gone. and now it shows up as a new post!

Am staying here for Easter hols, except for the 11th-15th April where I'm down in London to do the tourist thing with my friend. Also, hello. Another shy dork/geek here. And I have *NSYNC Uno! And I have all the official BSB footage if you don't have it, including a clip of them doing promo in the Asia-Pacific region back in '96 (babies!) that I don't think anyone else has.

York! I am in York! But my university room is pretty small though.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

York would be awesome, especially as that's where trumpeterofdoom is based. I'd be more than willing to have people here but it is a long way to travel, especially from down South.

I'm thinking a weekend or even overnight would be wonderful, with dinner and DVD watching and I could even bring my Nsync dreamphone game so I could have a game at last ;)

I'm really quite excited now :)

You could do another public reading of trickyfish porn *g*

Ack. Forgot to mention. What about _ducks? Do you have her friended? She's about the closest to me, in Wakefield.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

But there must be good hotels in York then we could book up and you could come play with us all!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I posted it earlier but various people have said it went on them, therefore the repost *g*

LJ is being an ass I think.

[trumpeterofdoom.livejournal.com]

Define "good hotels". :) My definition must be really different from yours (15 quid and under per person per night in a dorm).

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I don't have her friended, I'll have to go check out her LJ.

Thanks for the headsup.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Nsync Uno! And boys footage! We could have an awesome mini con!

[trumpeterofdoom.livejournal.com]

I'm all excited now. Yay!

[simply-fly-away.livejournal.com]

York is about an hour and a bit from me and I'm all for less traveling time ;) York is a mainline station, trains from London stop there 132097 an hour so the girls from the South shouldn't have a problem.

A weekend sounds about right. I have the Backstreet Around the World game. Heee!

I'm excited too!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

My definition of a good hotel tends to be the cheaper the better ;)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

So am I! And there's no plans or anything! But still!

SQUEEEEEE!!!!!

*bounces*

[trumpeterofdoom.livejournal.com]

But of course there are plans. We're making them right here in this post! :D

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You've all got me grinning like a loon that this may actually happen!

Backstreet Around the World!
Dreamphone!
Nsync Uno!
Footage!
DVDs!

How can I stand the excitement!?

*bounces again*

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

ahhhhh...

[trumpeterofdoom.livejournal.com]

Repeat after me: IT'S GOING TO BLOODY WELL HAPPEN! :D Plus, I just might have a course mate that I can drag along as well.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!

It's about time we all had a get together. I've learned being with other fans is a wonderful thing, especially other popslash fans. Being able to squee knowing you'll be understood is so cool.

[myorangecrush.livejournal.com]

York is a bit of a pain in the arse for me, but if it's a day thing I could make it.

[trumpeterofdoom.livejournal.com]

Just being able to squee is going to be such a change. The walls here are thin, and I don't think my neighbours would like me screaming "EEEEEEEEEEEELANCEOMGILOVEYOUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" at semi-regular intervals at night. *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Excellent.

Obviously there's no dates or anything yet but I'd love this to happen.

[simply-fly-away.livejournal.com]

"EEEEEEEEEEEELANCEOMGILOVEYOUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

Oh, I have no problems screaming that. Loudly. In crowded public places, usually.

;)
