NessyK Posted March 21, 2002 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Is anyone going to the Fortean Times Unconvention at the Commonwealth Institute, London 6-7th April? Unfortunately, I can't go now and I am dying to know what the speakers are like this year. Paul Deveraux is speaking on "The Magic Cattle sheds of Ireland" :se Doc Shiels is talking about my personally favourite subject "Invocatory Sculpturs of Sea Monsters" (well, I am a Nessy!) Lionel Fanthorpe is talking about "The World's most Fortean Object" (What is it? I'm dying to know!) And Doug Skinner of the USA is talking about "How Data gets Damned" (A good one for Gizzie, perhaps?) amongst others. (See P13 of this month's FT) If anyone is going, can they let us know all about it? Ta! NessyK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magikman Posted March 21, 2002 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Nessy, Yes, in fact, Tommy (I'm sorry, Prince Thomas, heir to the paranormal throne) is going to be going to the convention. A couple of us got together a few weeks ago in chat and pestered him until he finally agreed to make the trip. He will be our official reporter and has promised to submit a detailed report with numerous pictures to us when the convention is over. In return, we promised not to slap him around and/or ban him from the chat room for the next two months. :s04 Magikman :s02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted March 21, 2002 #4 Share Posted March 21, 2002 :s2 It’s true, they’re making me go. *lol* Nessy, you just blew the cover of my surprise special report of the year! :s04 Yep, I’ll be going on the 6th. May see you there PS! :s03 I’ll be armed with my silver Olympus Zoom 140, and 150 sheets of W.H.Smiths finest! I haven’t decided who I want to see yet. Some of the topics I’m interested in are being covered at the same time. :-/ but I’m still really looking forward to it. :s03 You can find out more about it here: https://www.ifgsubscriptions.co.uk/uncon2002/visitors/conference.html (Prince) Tommy 8) :sq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magikman Posted March 22, 2002 #7 Share Posted March 22, 2002 PS, I envision a dramatic increase in sightings of the 'Jersey Devil' among conventioneers if you do make an appearance. :s07 Sorry to hear that pixie wacker won't beable to go with you. ***frantically checking 'bargain' airfairs to Bradford, England around the beginning of April*** drool, drool, slobber.......

Becca_gurl Posted March 22, 2002 #8 Share Posted March 22, 2002 It is usually the cheap cameras that create orbs. :s01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted March 22, 2002 #14 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Awesome, so three of us shall be making the journey. Crow, are you going on the 6th as well? I’ll keep an eye out for everyone. I would hope that I would recognise you both, but I guess we’ll have to see. I would put my description as 6’00, short dirty blonde hair, wearing jeans; but I don’t think it would really help. :sh I guess that report has been split 3 ways now. 8) Tommy 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
