MCM Expo - 25th/27th May 2012 - London Excel Centre

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

Here we go now!

We are slightly less than 6 weeks out, whose going?

[Major Willoughby Chase]

Esther and I shall be there

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

Excellent, and I do know that Doctor Geof, purveyor of the finest bespoke smut will of course be there for all Tea Company related merchandise.

[Augustus Longeye]

I'll be there, not that it matters
Me and my sister are nerding out as trekies this year!
~Longeye~

[Evangeline]

Alan and I will be there as usual

[Major Twangy Rubber]

Hmm, I had every intention of going - but I have now found out that there's a major event in the shooting calendar on (you've guessed it) the 25th, 26th and 27th of May.

Grr.

I'll be in Bisley/Worplesdon* during the day all weekend, but as it's quite close to London I expect that I'll be available to turn up at "evening" gatherings on Thursday/Friday/Saturday
I'll get in contact with people and find out what's going on!


* Herr Doktor: I swear I'm not a crazy stalker!

[Major Willoughby Chase]

That sounds familiar, is it the charity one?

[Mr Addams]

I have been meaning to go for the past few years.
From Where does one get the tickets?

[Herr Döktor]

I'll be there, as will Lady Jane: I might have keep an eye out for any crazy stalkers, though.

[Capt. Dirigible]

Yes! Tickets in advance are an absolute must unless you want to spend haldf the day queuing up...

I will be going, with at least four of my nine compatriots from last year and hopefully a couple of new ones. This time round the theme is cosplay safari, as long as I remember to make some scoresheets and little cocktail-stick flags.

Will there be any sort of steampunk/brassgoggles meetup? Seems a shame to let the Narutards have all the fun.

[Augustus Longeye]

That's a good question; are the VSS going to have their stall again this year? If so that's generally the conglomerate of steampunks.
Good word that; conglomerate.
~Longeye~

[Evangeline]

I'm pretty sure that the VSS will be having their usual stand (Lady Elsie will be the one to ultimately confirm, but she's a very busy lady and needs to get Whitby out of the way first) so that will be 'Steampunk Central' for meeting up and having fun.

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

I believe the organisers are being a little tardy in confirming this time. Probably juggling space.

I have a number of exhibits ready, including the Mimmoth Skull, and my Feejee Mermaid (and yes it does sing and dance). I hope to have at least one other exhibit ready. Will it be the Jackalope, the Feral Haggis or something else?

Herr Doktor, Re Stalkers, Please, please, please be careful of mirrors, the sinister but handsome gentleman who has been following you around is in fact your own reflection. That he has a goatee and you do not should not be of concern.

[Mr Addams]

I just realised that the 25th of May is also, for those who appreciate the works of Douglas Adams, Towel Day.

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

I have an original second generation Hitchhikers towel, brown and beige, with the towel quote very rare  it's over 20 years old (most of the others have gone stiff).

I know where my towel is, do you?

[JennyWren]

rmy towel is right where i left it ..........
 see you all at the expo

[rhylla]

Dav and I will be there on the Saturday

-Rhylla-

[Major Willoughby Chase]

Not sure if I can make it now anyone have a room they'd like to share?

Entirely reasonable.

[Outflyer_Calliope]

I would be interested in helping out at the VSS stall again... The actual expo doesn't really hold much interest for me, but the 'meeting new steampunks' is always my fave part <3

[ladyelsie]

Now Whitby is over for a few months we are now sorting out MCM EXPO and all of what that entails.

We will be looking for folks to come and help man the VSS area and to Exhibit items of steamy wonderfulness.

If you would like to join us for the three days AND have items to display please make yourself know here. We have a number of free passes to offer folks on here.

We do like to see lots of steamy folks around to help talk to attendees and spread the steamy message.

Our Author this time will be the lovely Sam Stone.
So if you wish to come and join us, please let me know.

Yours,
Lady Elsie.

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

Frabjous Joy! Sam is lovely!

I can do all three days booked for the evenings in the Barking Travelodge,  travelling down Thursday will bring The Feejee Mermaid, Mimmoth Skull, and I have made a companion piece to my Air Kraken beak (don't think i've brought that to an Expo before) it is a pair of 6 inch long Stag beetle mandibles mounted like stag horns, so I will be bringing both on a mounting board. I will starting on the animatronic Jackalope next, I don't know if I will have that ready though. Apparently I can buy a Hare mask online for about £3 from a fly fishing suppliers, so ordering that and glass eyes this weekend.

[Major Willoughby Chase]

I'd be happy to come along and help, was planning on all three days, but haven't bought tickets yet. However sadly I have nothing to display other than myself, but am likely to be there all three days with the new rocketpack outfit and the old faithful pinstripe :-)

Hopefully by next year I may be able to display some items .
