Fannish Good News

Since I'm suddenly possessed of an extra week's vacation I need to use up by the end of March, I've decided to go to Escapade this year. Four days in California indulging in fannish conversation is sounding rather appealing just at the moment.

And this will give me added incentive to get cracking on the Life on Mars vid I'm part way through and get it done for the con deadline.

So, anyone on the flist going to Escapade?

Edit: Oh, and thanks to the effort of my Sweetie, I'm in possession of two passes to a preview screening of The Hitcher. I get to see the Bean in a potentially dodgy flick and don't have to pay for the privilege. Yay!

OMG you could hear the shout of happy all the way from here! I am looking forward to seeing both you (and your vid).

I'm so glad you'll be going. It's been too long since we've seen each other in person.

Now to work on the vid...

It goes without saying that tovalentin & I will be there. We might be doing a tappas run on Friday night with some people.

Here's another post that asked who's going.

The Toronto gals must hang out together. Tappas sounds promising...

I must see any Life on Mars vid!

I still can't believe they are even re-making "The Hitcher". I feel so old!

Enjoy the flick and the extra week vacation.

I shall sling the vid your way when it's done. (I really need a Sam and Gene icon.)

As for The Hitcher, Don nearly couldn't quite convince me the original is over twenty years old. (1986 wasn't over twenty years ago. Oh wait, yeah it was.)

I'm really in need of a break. The bad news we knew was coming happened today.

OMG I just found an entire community devoted to Life on Mars Icons. I am drooling trying to decide on one to snag.

OMG indeed. Wow, do I get a Gene or a Sam or a Gene and Sam?

[identity profile] sooguy.livejournal.com 2007-01-17 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't find one of Sam and Gene that I really liked.

I stole a few Sam ones instead.

'Ere's the other Gene one I grabbed. I could eat Philip Glenister up with a spoon.

Well, Gene won. It was inevitable, really.
