Pomingham Palace (KupoCon London 2018)

[Ami]

Just booked my train tickets, can't wait for this long weekend!

 

[Joker]

Sure, I'm down for Warwick.

 

[aaad]

Just like to say that I am unable to tag along with much post-Kupocon and certainly not on anything Warwick-related, travel costs will be unaffordable for me and uni schedules have become more difficult to fiddle with I'm sure you'll all have a great time there anyway :3 I'll still be around for Kupocon itself and will be in and around London for the Sunday if you'll still have me

Okay everyone heading to Warwick, you have a couple of options. You can either head straight to Warwick from London Marylebone (doesn't take long to walk to from Russell Square) and get the train back down there after spending the day in Warwick (it's a pretty place and old as fuck), or head into Brum either via train or minibus rental (which is by far the more expensive option TBH). The day in Warwick is most practical since you've got nearly two hours on the train each way. I'm aiming to go on the Tuesday since Yop and I are going back up to Brum on Monday early evening (last day with you London-based buggers).

Just letting you all know that I'm now unable to come to KC as new orchestra commitments have been organised :/ On the plus side, the orchestra has formally accepted my commission conditions and are happy to run the first draft, so I've got that going for me

Hope you all have a lovely time for the entirety of your stay here Gutted I can't come to KC to meet you guys, but I'm sure you'll all have a blast <3

 

[Cacti]

Sorry to hear that you won't be able to come Mao! ;_; But at least it sounds like the reason you won't be able to come is a good one! Congrats on your commission conditions being accepted, that's amazing o.o

 

[Mage]

My son is expected to join an orchestra next year, this is handy to know what to expect I suppose. Sorry we won't be seeing you, but NEXT TIME GADGET.

 

[Carlie]

So are you guys interested in doing the secret sephiroth?

 

[Mage]

I'm doing it if I've got time to! My fabrics were finally delivered today so the rush has just kicked in.

 

[Flare]

I'll pass on the Secret Sephiroth, I don't think I'll have much spare funds to spend for that. XD Or space.

 

[Fangu]

I bought plane tickets

 

[Mage]

My son's SEN teacher sent a letter inviting us to review his targets in-school on the 5th February, I'm like FUCK OFF BITCH I HAVE PLANS.
Seriously, they're only doing them because they've arranged an ADHD specialist to talk with parents the Wednesday beforehand, they were done on the fly last time around. They can make an appointment properly instead of a letter which doesn't have any room for negotiation.

 

[Carlie]

Those of us doing Warwick, we are taking the train to Birmingham correct?

 

[Joe]

So I put it on Discord but if you're coming to London in two weeks you'll get one of these.

If you're not coming then come then I'd be happy to mail you one after the event. I have plenty, just need to know how many to set aside. PM me with your address and sometime mid-feb I'll mail one (or two if you provide nOOdz) out to you.

 

[Mage]

THAT IS MAJESTIC AS FUCK.

@ Carlie, depends on what folk want to do. It'll be easier for London folk to get the train direct to Warwick from Marylebone.

 

[CrashOuch]

JOE THOSE ARE SO AWESOME OMFG

 

[ForceStealer]

I came so close to just buying random tickets to London and crashing the party. It would be an expensive 3 days, but currently being drunk, I super wish I had done it.

Also my passport expires in June, and apparently you need to be 6 months ahead of that shit, so I might not have been able to anyway....

 

[Fangu]

Aww Force! That would have been awesome

Joe asdfhsdf that thing is glorious

 

[Carlie]

Also my passport expires in June, and apparently you need to be 6 months ahead of that shit, so I might not have been able to anyway....

That's true for the rest of Europe but not the UK actually. Your passport has to be valid only for the duration of your stay.

 

[Mage]

^ Compelling argument there....

 

[Ami]

 

[Carlie]

There's a $570 roundtrip flight on expedia leaving on the 31st at JFK with a one hour stop in Dublin, and arriving in Heathrow at 11am on the 1st. I say for no reason whatsoever.

 

[Flintlock]

Nice work, Carlie.

I'd be super stoked if you could make it, Force. (I already am, but you know. More.)

 

[Joe]

As far as I can tell the full amount of people up for going to Warwick on Tuesday is:
Carlie
Cacti
Kimble
Me
Minato
Flare
(+Yop and Mage but they won't be getting the train there)
If I missed someone let me know.

So if we book the trains early/now we can get a return for £11 each. I put the times in as departing 10:30am and returning 7:00pm. The train is about an hour and a half each way.
If people would like I can buy those 6 tickets myself and you guys can give me the £11 either by Paypal now or in person in a couple weeks. Thoughts?

 

[Roger]

I'm down for that.
