Well, I've had a few days to recover now so I suppose I'd better get on and do one of these! XD

This is gonna be a general run-down of stuff and an assessment, with thanks and memories at the end.

The Hotel - PTI, Premier Inn. Good Lord, I've never stayed in such a nice hotel! It was clean, tidy, the rooms were huge and the bed was extremely comfy. The staff were very friendly and helpful, prices were pretty good for food and drinks, and overall was exceptional. I shall most certainly be staying there again next year.

The Expo - My 1st October Expo. Weather was miserable from time to time, but altogether OK. Prices are still extortionate on food and drink in the Excel, but luckily there's a small shop down by the Novotel that sells food and drink at a much more reasonable price. The excel itself was as clean as ever, staff were friendly and things seemed well organized. LOADS of cosplayers, but still waaaaaaaaaaay too many 'Free Hugs' signs and waaaaaaaaay too many people yelling 'You Lost the Game.'

Another good Expo, but seriously considering FACTS, Ayacon and Otacon.

Travelling - This year went without a hitch. For once, the trains were running AND on time and they weren't too cramped and the ticket machines only broke once the whole weekend. Brilliant.


I think that covers everything as far as that all goes...now, to thank people!

Thanks to for lending me your Snake cosplay: its bloody brilliant mate. So looking forward to seeing you again!

Thanks to for helping to keep my sanity and providing another intellectual conversation partner! Hope to see you again next year!

Thanks to for the brilliant photos on the Saturday night and his help at the photoshoot on Sunday night. Hopefully it won't be so cold next time! XD

Thanks also to all the members of The 3rd Floor: it was great to see you all there and hope that next year we have more of us there!

And on that final note, I shall be off. For my final thought, I shall say but one thing...

Housekeeping...? XD
