con round up

Back from mcm expo now, been at uni today so the post is a little late (studio all day tomorrow too…I need more sleep)

this is just me rambling at length so

arrived quite late friday but still in time to get our wristbands so we didn’t have to queue saturday morning which was good, even after we’d spent awhile running round kingx/stpan underground station looking for each other. Didn’t go in to the show that day but went then to check into the hotel, they upgraded us cause mel said we’d come further than we had (accents are awesome) so next time we’re going to say we’re on our honeymoon or somthing. The staff at the hotel were really nice and helpful all weekend, must be an interesting but very hectic weekend for them? Then back out to meet up with jemma and eddie and do some modern les mis photos and then food at their hotel and early night.

Saturday was Grantaire cosplay day and after battling with the wind up the road (may have acctually been worse sunday but felt like that flag was going to take off sometimes) went into the hall today, was probably better than in may but it was way to busy on the saturday to acctually see stuff to buy and very warm, particualrly for Mel in her enjolras get up. Also corridors seem to have got narrower. Got briefly acosted by some pirates while finding a drink then saw everyone a bit later at the les mis meet, great to see old friends and meet all the new people/semi-new people who I’d met on tumblr but not in person yet (lots of people! more than may which I thought was wierd given its longer since the film? but still great so yeah) I still need to go through the masterpost lists and follow people I just haven’t found the time yet – I’m not ignoring you I promise. We have a couple of photosets from this day but we’ll probably try and get more of this one in the future I think.

Sunday was enjolras and combeferre day, we thought we might not be as recognisable in this one but we still got stopped quite a bit (about the same possibly, acctually?) the massive flag probably helped – and having our bahorel with us for a while walking round on that day. Sort of crashed the nightvale meet to to see all the people we know doing that, and see all the amazing cosplays there. Jemma took some lovely photos in the late afternoon but then had to leave and say goodbye and go get the train (horrible journey back thanks to the stupid weather)

Miss expo and people already, we must do something together soon
