The Chronicle Live: Boring breakfasts? Not at a Discworld convention.
http://chroniclelive.blogspot.com/2010/09/boring-breakfasts-not-at-discworld.html
The Journal of the Discworld Convention 2010. Thursday, 2 September 2010. Not at a Discworld convention. However, the often quoted 'come to the convention and leave with fifty friends for life' has truth to it. I soon discovered the best way to avoid looking incredibly lost and lonely with your breakfast tray is to gravitate towards the table with only one person on it and introduce yourself. Funnily enough, inflatable kangaroo-wielder Sue (Weatherwax) then joined our table and made her own addition to t...

The Chronicle Live: Breaking the Ice - A newbie writes of their first DWCon
http://chroniclelive.blogspot.com/2010/09/breaking-ice-newbie-writes-of-their.html
The Journal of the Discworld Convention 2010. Sunday, 5 September 2010. Breaking the Ice - A newbie writes of their first DWCon. Last Thursday I was a Discworld Convention virgin. Today I am a happier person. I’m a shy person, well on the introspective side of the old introvert-extrovert scale. As a toddler, I would hide under the table, whenever my parents had visitors. When I started school, I refused to talk to anyone, teachers or kids, for the first fortnight. We were unprepared; my daughter left hal...

The Chronicle Live: DWCon 2010 - The View From Tech
http://chroniclelive.blogspot.com/2010/09/dwcon-2010-view-from-tech.html
The Journal of the Discworld Convention 2010. Saturday, 4 September 2010. DWCon 2010 - The View From Tech. It's 3pm on Wednesday and everything is unpacked and sorted. emails and newsgroups are read, some pictures and Con Reports consumed as well as 12 hours sleep. My brain's slowly adjusting to reality, random thoughts[1] becoming German again[2] - so that's it, the Con is finally over and real life is starting again. It was nice to see so many new faces, meeting with old friends was nice, too, of course.

The Chronicle Live: The Rocky Horror Discworld Show
http://chroniclelive.blogspot.com/2010/09/rocky-horror-discworld-show.html
The Journal of the Discworld Convention 2010. Friday, 3 September 2010. The Rocky Horror Discworld Show. The Dysk was, inevitably, packed with an audience trembling with anticipation. Many of us had seen the original Rocky Horror Show on stage or film and had certain expectations, some of which would be fulfilled, others completely overturned. Convention members had all received the invitation to take part and we knew that the final cast had prepared their roles in isolation, only. John Hicks was suitabl...

The Chronicle Live: The Gala Dinner Speeches
http://chroniclelive.blogspot.com/2010/09/gala-dinner-speeches.html
The Journal of the Discworld Convention 2010. Thursday, 2 September 2010. The Gala Dinner Speeches. As the guests took their seats on Sunday night, they were intrigued to find what looked like a bread roll on their side plates – but it was inscribed with the word IRONCRUSTS and bore a Discworld Emporium stamp on the base. This unique piece of Dwarf Bread will make a fine paperweight. We also found dwarf beards by our plates, which improved the looks of some of us, but others were beyond hope. Knights of ...

The Chronicle Live: Fashion Contest!
http://chroniclelive.blogspot.com/2010/09/fashion-contest.html
The Journal of the Discworld Convention 2010. Friday, 3 September 2010. Artwork by Jyrki Vainio. Every Discworld Convention has its share of spectacular costumes. They range from the simpler productions of Chaos Costuming to stunning bejewelled crinolines, exquisite tailored dresses with exploding bustles, elaborate cloaks, hand tooled watch outfits and leather - all to rival any theatrical production. The saris were amazing and Im still jealous of Marina for getting an invite to a wedding dinner! What I...

The Chronicle Live: DWCon - catching old friends, making new friends.
http://chroniclelive.blogspot.com/2010/09/dwcon-catching-old-friends-making-new.html
The Journal of the Discworld Convention 2010. Thursday, 2 September 2010. DWCon - catching old friends, making new friends. We arrived at the Birmingham Hilton round about midday, checked in and found our room, which was much nicer than the one we were given last time, and since that visit (the one In Which Gemma Broke Her Ribs Getting Out Of The Bath) the bathroom has aquired a rubber slipmat! But how can you have a Convention without a bit of impromptu caterwauling singing? We woke up nice and early an...
