lostcarparkFriday night has marked the start of P-Con for the last few years, and last night was no exception. I arrived in the late afternoon th find a few early arrivals holding court in the Library bar. I settled into a comfey chair, and gradually our numbers swelled. It's always good to catch up with old friends, though the phrase "What happened to you?" was oft repeated, accompanied by pointing at an arm. It must be a P-Con tradition I guess.
The opening ceremony was a simple affair, introducing the guests (at least the ones who had arrived), and relaying apologies from those who missed flights, but would be arriving later.
It was good to keep it brief, to make way for the P-Con Players, who put on an amusing horror story, Mildew Manor by Kim Newman. It started a little slow, but built to a gripping story, taking the micky out of all the Victorian horror stereotypes in the process.
After that it was time to retire to the bar, though in my case only briefly as the train home beckoned.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the weekend, which promises some excellent programme items.
