You'll find most of the UKA staff at the London Expo whenever it's on, and James and I may well be at the one in Manchester in a few months. Your best bet is to ask abut specific conventions on the forum, and those of us going will put our hands up

I'd like to go to more, but I can't afford the travel/staying costs of going any place outside of my immediate city at this moment in time. Probably for the best as it would only mean i'd be constantly broke if I were able to go and buy everything

That said I'll be at Manchester MCM Expo, as will a couple of others on the site.

Someone quite rightly pointed out that this shouldn't be in the news forum, so moved to General Chat

I'll also be at the MCM Manchester event. We really should gather and go to that café after party.

Should we actually have a little get together? I'm hoping to book a hotel and stay a couple of days in Manchester

Well, as the organiser of the aforementioned Expo after-party, I'd say that's the perfect opportunity to meet up...just waiting for the manager of Fab to get back to me with confirmation that we're still booked in (initially booked it months ago) before officially announcing it.

It'll be at Fab Café, quite close to Manchester Central, where the Expo is, from 4pm 'til 9pm.
