Well were back home now, Gareth has gone off to film The Bill then off to the USA for the conventions he is doing over there.

The last day was good, since Kai arrived the stage became a more interesting place, as he and Gareth worked it. Thanks to Kerry for the donation of a few items to eBay, these will be going up in the next few days.  We never made it to the party so I hope those who were there enjoyed it; I heard about some of it and wished I wasn’t so knackered. Maybe at the SFX con.

Well now back to business, I’ve just got the accounts up-to-date; I have a few tweaks to make as it seems if your Java isn’t up-to-date. I’ll create an alternate menu system for people who are in this situation, so the site may be a bit odd over the next day or so.

Also a thanks to Banana’s and co for making sure every breathing person was given a flyer.

Well the Saturday was fun, Lydia and I finally got our VIP passes and were able to do stuff unhindered. We caught a few of the talks, most of which went down the usual angle of talks at the hub other than Gareth refusing to talk about John Barrowman. The green room was good better than most I have been to at conventions, at least they catered for all tastes and made as healthy as possible, the green room people should pat themselves on the back. We got talking to a few people about the film and will be receiving a few donations from con-goers to auction off for the film. So keep your eyes on our eBay page over the coming months.  Sadly we didn’t get any pictures of yesterday; I’ll try to get some today.

There was a surprise visit from Kai Own who ended up doing a comedy sketch with Gareth, which from what I can guess was written for John Barrowman and James Marsters, Kai and Gareth still had the crowd screaming. Then after the hectic day we all got chance to just sit and chill as a hand full of people came over to natter.

Not sure what to expect today, Kai hasn’t been booked on anything but we presume he is talking over James Marsters slots. So once more we brave the microcosm of the Hub 3.

Well the rest of the day went well we ended up going back to the Hilton, where we bumped into a few people we know, and someone we hadn’t seen for years. We handed out a few flyers but the night was more about getting the lay of the land.

We saw the most bizarre thing, a Bucking Sheep, Gareth provided a nice demonstration for us. He only lasted 51 seconds. Let’s hope he can hold on to that sheep a bit longer next time, as that is rather a disappointing effort for a welsh boy.

Were heading back over there now, to get our passes and talk a few people’s ears off about the film.

Were in Birmingham well Birmingham airport, and the most exciting thing so far has been the bunnies outside my hotel window. Had a quick change to pop over to the Hiltion, not staying there too expensive, the Hilton is starting to fill. Some advice to anyone coming to the Hub 3 on Saturday morning, bring food you’re looking at £15 for a burger and £10 for a sandwich. Well back on to the positive side, I think this year is going to be a good one slightly odd because of the build up and what not. I’m looking forward to meeting with people talking about the film and generally getting the buzz out there.

We also negotiated a deal at The Big Sleep in Cardiff, we should be able to get room discounts for the fund raiser, use of one of their conference facilities for workshop and read trough’s. Also we can offer one night stay at the hotel, as part of the package for the photo shoot. Yay go us!

We’re going to head back over for the Hub party tonight and mingle. I hope to see some of you there.
