Mitch...

[gaspode]

Ok - I've been given the OK to mention this publically :)

I've had the written confirmation that I have been waiting for and can confirm that Mitch Benn will be providing entertainment on Sunday evening at this years Eastercon (www.orbital2008.org) ..

I know this will be of interest of several of my flist - and would take this opportunity to mention that Neil Gaiman is also one of the guests of honour ...

Hopefully this will inspire those fence sitters to sign up ....

*does the dance of joy*

Mitch rocks in so many ways. Damn, I was already stupidly excited about Orbital, I thing' stupidly' just got upgraded to 'ludicrously'

since it's been up on the website for a little while now, I hope you weren't holding yourself back unnecessarily!

Yet another reason why I'm glad I'm going to Orbital!! :) And the list is pretty long as it is... which is good.

Yay!

We are definitely in the market for 2 Sunday-only memberships; let us know what we have to do. :)

Easiest (and cheapest) way is to register and pay online or by post sending a form cheque to me before next Friday, when I will be closing advance membership bookings.

link is http://www.orbital2008.org/booking/Book.cgi?NewMemb&DAY

Sunday membership would be £20 (or £15 unwaged) if you book in advance, or £25 (£20 unwaged) on the door. Looking forward to seeing you both there :)

Done! The 'how did you hear about Orbital' box amused me too much, I'm sorry...

Hee Hee - your comment is in good company :)

We've had a really good response from people filling this box in. These ones also made me smile:

I'm not fence-sitting, I'm skint! I can't even afford food right now! Else I'd be so signed up.
