Birmingham International Comic Show!

[Captain Kitty]

Yes! My first Con as a proper Dealer! Hopefully I will be able to scrape together the cost of booking a table for the weekend (£140 :d8o:) and find somewhere to crash (there is no WAY I'm spending £70 a night for the hotel!) but the boy-toy says he has a friend in Birmingham who may be able to put us up. But if that falls through, anyone else live in that area?
I'm not looking forward to hauling all my stuff on the train... meep! Might be worth a photo or two! Maybe I could stack the boy toy up like a mule...hmmmm...
Will also be selling my artwork there too!!! only £3 - £5 a print!!!
So, anybody in the UK gonna be able to come down and see me? Come on! You know you wanna!!!

[Ecchi_Kitty]

Wanna? Yes.

Sadly, not in the UK. Few thousand miles further then I can travel.... :d/:

Hmm, my friend got his pic taken with some girls dressed up as cat-girl maids, he really enjoyed it, due to his love of cat-girls.

I think they were the ones in some of the pics here from the bristol convention.

[Chebbo]

You could have just paid on the door you know.

Did you buy that off a cat girl? If so, that was me! I was there with my business Chibi Kawaii, and the cat girls you met are on my street team!!!

lol i meant for a hotel it was all booked up the closest one with an empty room was an hour away and was too expensive

[Chebbo]

If anyone has any trouble getting a hotel room in future, lets us know and we'll do our best to find you one within a mile of the show.
