!midlands With the MCM expo in Telford next month, who is up for trying to arrange some kind of meetup? The london one was pretty successful, so maybe this could be too!

@sherb My interest == Piqued
-
this is... Intriguing, I wanted to go to the one in London last october but pulled out at the last minute
-
@ceruleanspark Great! If other people show interest, I'd gladly provide more details, and try to sort something out!
-
@sherb Forgetting to tag you in my last comment.... Gah!!!
-
@purplephish20 That's cool. So would you also be interested? For anybody else who would be interested in the meetup, there is plenty of info about the event here. http://www.midlandsmcmexpo.com/ !midlands
-
@purplephish20 I was just poking around. A hotel room is £50 for a couple of nights there.
-
@ceruleanspark Are we talking travellodges? Never been to any kind of expo so what do I expect? The one in London I would have gone with a mate but my real reason at the time for wanting to go was an alice cooper concert 15 minutes down the road that same night
-
@purplephish20 expo's are typically rather lively. This particular expo is based around Sci-fi and Anime, but it leans more toward the anime side. Great for meeting people and just hanging out.
-
@sherb hmm, well ive tried and never got into anime, but I am a big Trekkie and stargate fan so I suppose theyll be some stuff for me
-
@purplephish20 Oh! Definitely! Personally, I only really go to hang out with friends, and maybe pick up some merch from my favourite anime/Video games.
-
@purplephish20 Yeah, a holiday inn. Guess they've not gotten around to the pre-con rate-hike yet. The expo is basically a giant markethall filled with people selling nerd-stuff. Manga, comics, videogames, anime, replica weapons, that sort of stuff. I got my pocketwatch at one.
-
@ceruleanspark That about sums it up better than I ever could. It's always a pretty fun time, hopefully a brony meetup could make it better!
-
@sherb I was at the London meetup. It was super fun!
-
@ceruleanspark Aww, I really wanted to get to that one, it's such a shame I couldn't make it. That's probably the main reason I'm trying to make something happen at the Telford one.
-
@sherb I really have no idea how I could go to this... My pal wouldn't want to nor could he as he's broke and unemployed, If it's a weekend sure I could do it but what the hell would be implied? "hey I'm just off to Shropshire for a nerd convention"
-
@purplephish20 It's on a weekend, I'm only gonna be there for the Saturday. So, I assume you don't actually live within a plausible distance? Yeah, that kinda sucks :(
-
@sherb I'm in Worksop, very near sheffid
-
@purplephish20 Ohh yeah, you're quite far north. That would be quite a journey to explain
-
@sherb it's only on the Saturday. The tickets are only one day tickets, anyway
-
@purplephish20 Nerd convention works.
-
@ceruleanspark Oh wow yeah, I only just noticed that. Strange, the one last year was both days. I guess it's nice to know that I won't be missing anything this year then.
