Diacon Alley!

This is a post I should have made months ago, and thought I had, but nada...

This summer, just in time to coincide with the last HP film, there will be a HP Con in the UK I'm very, very excited about - DiaCon Alley in Canterbury (21-24 July, 2011)!



Here's the link to the website, for info and registration and stuff.

There have been two newsletters so far (with, omg, butterbeer recipe).

For updates on LJ, watch diacon_alley.

To tell the truth, I'm due to leave the UK and return home this summer, and the reason moving is going to happen in August instead of June is because of this :). Can't wait!

Political Interlude: AV Referendum (for Cats)

Today is a very good day to share the video below (found on lolcats), which isn't just cute and hilarious, it's also pretty informative about the UK Alternative Vote Referendum tomorrow.

So if you can vote in the Referendum tomorrow, do! AV isn't the perfect solution (what's wrong with plain old proportional representation that actually allocates seats according to, well, votes?) but better than nothing.

"Otherwise, the country will go to the dogs!" (*snickers*)

(yes, I noticed the historical blooper, but it's still cute)
