There's two options for me this summer, and I hope to manage both.
It is now something like four years since the first RuinsofEmpire London Symposium(tm), and I believe a repeat is long overdue. Matt and Andy should be able to make it down, and all you other lazy buggers should be able to get on a plane easily enough.
The second plan is to try meet up with some salubrious North American characters during my soirée in Canada. Will be in Toronto towards the end of September, so you should all get into your big gas guzzling vehicles and drive up. I'll be in Vancouver as well, but from the sound of it most people are in the North East, so the drive might be a bit of a stretch.
