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 ....

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. :)

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

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 :)

Brilliant!

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:
