This year's Worldcon is in Glasgow, 4-8 August. There is a chance I might be going with my best friend and her boyfriend. How about a European Hatrack get-together?

Amira? Anna? Tristan? Choobak? Lissande & Tzadik? (that's all of us, no? too few [Frown] )

oops, and Jebus. sorry kid.

Scotland is high on my list of places to visit, and I'd love to meet some Hatrackers in person. My being able to go will however depend on a job I don't even have yet. It might not be possible to determine my attendance until fairly close to the event, which I suppose may make it difficult to secure accomodations. I am definitely interested though, provided I can force my life to co-operate.

Yeah, as long as I'd be able to get away from my as of yet non-existant job, I'm sure something can be arranged. [Smile]

I have no idea what the World-Con is, though. Some kind of fantasy-related event?

Heh, I've never heard of the guests of honour, not even the Swede. But such a minor detail would never stop me from attending. I'm sure they are very nice, if self-effacing, individuals. And the main attraction would be the Hatrackers, right?

Yes.

I've read Sheckley, and I like him. I think Martin's going to be there, too.

Christopher Priest is going to be there? Wow, that's a definite swing in favour and I've never been to Scotland. So yes, I'd like to but practicalities may intervene.

I wish. That's certainly closer to Israel than Chicago was...

Too bad I'll be back in the states by then.

Hey Kama, what about Chicago?

Well, I would sooo love to come, but I'll probably be in the middle of an internship right then... I'll try to negociate a holiday in that period, large enough so that I can get to an eventual Hatrack get-together and still have the time to go home for a couple of days.

Actually, this may become possible for me, oddly. My Model EU class teacher has hooked me up with someone in the Berlitz Camps program in Germany, which would involve me getting paid to teach English to young'uns (and coincidentally get to travel all over Germany and the rest of Europe).

I just read the post. Well !

Why not ? I'll like to go to Glasgow and try to practice My English (with difficulty [Wink] ).
I must look if it's possible with my job. So i can't already say yes.
I can answer later i think. But if i go here, I'll prepare you my speciality : des crèpes ! [Big Grin]

I would love to go, but I'll be honest I doubt that I'll have leave that time of year or even a 4 day weekend.

Oh, thanks Farmgirl! I haven't seen this either. Hi there, warrand! I guess you were referring to me when you talked about a Romanian, right?

Also, welcome to the forum! I hope there's more than just this one post. [Smile]
