We need some, after all! We don't get the whole company down, but we are getting Logue, Pett, Schneider and Wenhem. (Logue and Pett will probably cancel each other out though)
Anyway! Reason number 1. Curry Night! That's right, a whole night of curry. No doubt we'll be suffering for it afterwards, but hey, it's totally worth it. Curry is, after all, the British National Dish.
Speaking of Curry Nights, there's one thing that always has to go with it, and that's Reason number 2. Beer! Proper beer too, not the watered down American stuff. Beer is mandatory when you're having a curry, so your mouth doesn't burn out, so it's good we have some good stuff over here.
Reason number 3 though, and the one that should make Lilith jealous, is that I'll be bringing some McVities Digestives. This does of course mean that we'll be having lots of tea, which we have to, by law, drink everyday.
Also, I'll be there. :D
You have clearly forgotten the foremost reason that it will be better, tought you have alluded to it. So...
Reason 6: Tea. You'll be able to get a decent cup of tea. It is a well known fact that it is entirely impossible to get a decent cuppa anywhere in the states. Given that i require fortification with earl gray atleast once an hour, i personally am happy that it will be possible.
Don't let Zuxius hear you say that about beer. Nothing watery about that stuff he was pouring the other night. :) I would be inclined to hop a flight for the curry night however.

Yeah, we have decidedly non-mainstream beer tradition in Seattle. I can think of at least 6 places that I get my beer that do not even list the cheap bastardized german lager swill that is michelob, coors, budweisser, et al. Seattle's beer culture is pretty hard core.

;_;
I´ll grant that they know how to make a fine beer on the islands out there :-) (Still, I love me german beers - and that stuff from the smaller island - Kilkenny or whats its name...)

Damn, I could really go for a nice Madras right now.
Thanks, guys.
Sorry guys. It can't be better. But it can be fun and different :)
PaizoCon II stands alone.
I agree with Russ, and best luck on PCUK!

I have to agree. Let PaizoCon UK stand on its own merits, and I'm sure it'll be amazing, since it's still PaizoCon after all ^_~
What a great thread!
I certainly intend for it to be amazing and be it's own thing too.
I'm sure Britishness, Tea, Curry and the amazing people that will be there will ensure it is unique. I'm not trying to compete with the US PaizoCon but just hope to provide an entertaining weekend for us Paizo fans in the UK.

Of course. No one on this side of the pond is hoping your weekend sucks. In fact we hope you're able to replicate as much of the fun we had as possible. PaizoCon II just set the bar extremely high. Like Pharasma's Spire high.
I'd actually suggest you try running similar events. The banquet and trivia contest were awesome, and I see no reason you couldn't do something similar. I don't know how much official support you're getting from Paizo, but they might be able to help with official PFS goodness or other things that made PaizoCon great. Will you be having seminars with any of the special guests?

Honest, we're just getting positive vibes. PaizoCon 2 is the inspiration for this but as Charles says, this is our first year (and the first convention the team I've put together have ever run) so it is a steep learning curve and while Paizo are giving us plenty of moral support (and perhaps a little more) we are on a limited budget and unfortunately Paizo can't send anybody over to attend.
We're trying to keep "Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself" from manifesting in our first year so no formal seminars on the weekend but a curry feast and the opportunity for people to talk to the guests and play in games run (and in many cases written) by them should be something special and there will be some competitive elements.
