We'll certainly have to meet up soon. I'm afraid that I won't make it to your party although I'd love to, but the price of crash space is through the roof already and all the reasonable hotels are booked solid for the getting-drunk season.

I'll definitely be at Eastercon (Hal Duncan and Neil Williamson are among my supportive friends up here) but I expect that you'll be busy for the short time you're there. New developments at work mean that I'll be in the Smoke a lot in the new year and there will be plenty of chances to meet.
