An approximation of my mood when ...

... I found out that Asylum 18 was being held at BLACKPOOL!!!!!



No offence to anyone that was born or raised in or around Blackpool, but seriously??!!??

I've only ever been to Blackpool once in my life, and that was because - I went to Blackpool.

I swore blind I'd never go back.

So I've got a six hour train journey ahead of me if I want to go to the con; there's no way I'm driving - I like my wheels where they are.

The minis, those unsupportive little gits, have already told me they're washing Sam's hair that weekend - All ten of them!!!!



Hey ho!  The things I do for my Supernatural!!!

OK. So, I'm a Yank and totally clueless when you talk about never wanting to go to Blackfoot again. Please enlighten those of us that are clueless on the other side of the pond about your aversion to this city. I can understand not wanting to step foot in a town you don't care for, though. I have a few of those myself.

Six hours! And I thought two hours on the train was bad enough, so it looks like it might just be the two of us then? You're right the things we do for Supernatural!

Yeah OK .... but Blackpool?!?

I like Blackpool, after all i'm originally from that end of the world, but Asylum will definitely have a different feel to it. More kitsch than classy.


Accommodation will have to be a big consideration if i want to go next year ......

My main concern is the hotel - I know some people whinge about anything, but the number of 'terrible' reviews outnumbers the total numbers of 'excellent', 'good', and 'average' added together!

That was what I thought too :(

Birmingham is one hour by plane, for Blackpool I'd need to fly to Manchester and then go by train.

Maybe we can share a room, but I still have to think about which con to visit: JiB or A18. And then they'll sell tickets for Purcon3 in February and just about EVERYBODY wants money from me *throws hands in air*

I was scrolling through my inbox and listening to "All Out of Love" and your first pic fits that song perfectly, LOL! Thanks for the smile, hun :D

I've been reading the comments, and damn. I'm sorry.

I take it Wayne is the convention organizer? Do you think any of the people already complaining will get his attention? Maybe there's time to change the venue?

Man, I would go to Liverpool just as a Beatles fan. I'd have an excellent time touring the city before the SPN convention even began! It's a shame it's not being held there.

(Ironically, I bet the guests and attendees would have a fabulous time in the real Las Vegas.)

Really?!?! They've moved it? Why?! And to Blackpool of all places! Did Wayne think it'd be cheaper for them so cheaper in general or will he up the price a few quid and then make *that* profit? O_O

I have no real thoughts on Blackpool. Never been there, but just looking at the map it doesn't seem so bad with the coast and the Manchester airport close by.
And it looked as if the hotel will be a lot cheaper than usual.
Not that I have made any plans at all yet about 2017 cons.
