… is only 20 days away.

It’s been one helluva experience attempting to organise a science fiction con. Mitch and I have been driven close to the brink of madness and I might’ve fallen over. Thank God that Jules isn’t actually here in this last month, a month… or 20 days… of sheer madness.

The great thing is that Mitch and I have had an amazing committee. Especially the first time committee members, who have been brilliant. The committee have kept us sane and we’ve been a pretty united and close group. Which is always a good thing.

It’s also made me realise how fucking amazing Kirstyn was running C3. I could go on forever about her organisation skills and how just one Kirstyn glare made you do whatever she bid. Our con is tiny in comparison to hers… and yet she never looked like she was breaking a sweat.

Anyway, I think the con is going to be great. That’s not just propoganda. We have four greats guests in Margo and Shaun and Charlie and Bruce.

And we’ve put together what I think is a really interesting program. I’m really proud that we’ve got a panel devoted to LJs and a panel devoted to downloading whether it be TV shows or comics. And the web comic panel where we get to promote the amazing work of Danny Oz and other such people.

Oh… and the Masked Ball. The Masked Ball is gonna be AMAZING!!!! I don’t wanna spoil the surprise, but it’s gonna be all funky.

And it’s cool to see some old faces sign up as members to the con, some of whom didn’t make it to the monster that was C3, but are traipsing along to C4.

The best thing about C4 is that it’s gonna be an intimate affair. A bit like a largish party that’s run over 3 days. The Victoria is not the biggest hotel in the world and so catching up with mates won’t be hard. And if it all becomes too much, the best advantage of the Victoria is that the city is literally 4 seconds way (depending on whether you run or not).

So, the end is coming closer, and all the pieces of the Continuum 4 puzzle are actually being slotted into place. And thank God for that.

The next 20 days will be CWAZY. Please be gentle with Mitch and I at the con.

Hope to see you ALL THERE. Yes, even you overseas people who read my journal.
