Hugo Ceremony at Torcon

[frostfox]

Any of my fannish friends want to go to the pre Hugo bash and the Hugo ceremony? Invite is for you and partner.
I can't go to Torcon (new house - 19 Boundary St, Lostock Gralam, Northwich, Cheshire, CW9 7NG) but as I am a Hugo nominee, I can nominate someone to be my acceptor (low hassle job, I don't have a cat in hell's chance of winning) you go to the party and get priority seating in the ceremony.

Any members of the Cabal have an invite anyway for Plokta but I wondered if any of you wanted to go?

Let me know asap if you are going to Torcon and are interested.

I was thinking more epic fantasy just finished re- reading the first 3 books of A Song Of Ice And Fire and if Martin can have a lord named after the fabled land of Bolton, I can have a hero called Lostock Gralam.
I am a bit obsessed with ASoIaF at the moment, my head is full of geneology and plots within plots within plots.

This brings to mind the famous Luton business in Space 1999; the US producer thought it shounded a very alien name so there was an episode called Rules of Luton.
Which was awful, if I remember correctly -it was the late 70's when I last saw Space 1999 - it used to be prime time 8pm viewing on Friday night.

But surely every episode of Space: Nineteen Pounds and Ninety-Nine Pence* was awful?

* The budget for the special effects. Not for each episode, either....
