Diacon mini-squee
I'm back! I had a fantastic time in the UK, but I will say that not having Internet after DiaCon was its own special brand of torture.
The con was AMAZING. The panels were all very interesting, and I wish that I had time to attend all of them, but between meet-ups and sneaking off to check out Canterbury, there wasn't enough time. The best part was, of course, meeting people, both discovering that flist people was as cool as I had expected and meeting new people I probably never would have otherwise. Overall the whole con was hectic in the best way, with much discussion, drinking and general merriment-and ok, the drinking part was mostly me, which shouldn't surprise anyone who's known me more than five minutes. The whole experience has definitely rekindled my interest in HP.
I'd love to talk more about the movie, but it feels like I watched it a million years ago, and what I mostly remember is how fun it was watching it with a big group of people who also laughed their asses off at a particularly drawn out conversation about wands.
I might post some photos later, both of the con and general holiday pics, but right now I have to do a massive catch up andstalk add a bunch of people.

I'm jealous about the HP convention and I definitely want to see photos and other news about it (although I really enjoyed my Discworld convention: http://embers-log.livejournal.com/273523.html
and I got to meet Jim Butcher, and got the latest Dresden book: http://embers-log.livejournal.com/274327.html
so I shouldn't complain). I want to hear all about your trip!
Where did you end up staying?
What is Canterbury like?
Did they have a lot of HP movie costumes and props or was it mostly book-centric?
Please do tell us all about it!

I'll try to make a longer post about my trip in general, but shortly: yes, it was book centric, but plenty of people dressed up in awesome costumes and props, Canterbury is amazing, and I ended staying in plenty of friends' couches. It was awesome, albeit exhausting.

I will have to go to Canterbury one of these days, it is pretty high on my list of places I haven't been yet.
