The bullet, it is bitten!

I've just decided "What the hell!" and booked for Eastercon. I had previously held off from booking for two reasons... the first was general purpose crapness on my part and never quite getting around to it, but more recently I've been waiting to know when my mum's going to need me to go and visit her (she's about to go into hospital for a bit, and I'll be visiting when she's out again). Now I know when that's happening, I went ahead and booked.

Since I've also just received a nice little bonus, I thought "What the hell" again and decided to make a little local holiday out of it... so I've booked to stay in one of the con's overflow hotels (main one's full). This means that I can go to the con and be allowed to have a drink or two without a public transport enforced curfew.

I'm quite looking forward to it, really.
