POTTERSTOCK 2008 (AKA The Roadtrip)
Nov. 15th, 2007 01:02 amAnd finally, announcing Potterstock 2008!
From the userpage (i.e. the blurb):
If you're into Potter conventions, but can't make the big hotel bills for places like the USA, we have another option for you, out in the foothills of the Jura mountains, so that you think you're actually somewhere tropical, and in the blissful middle of summer. Or if you're looking for a bit of Harry Potter run down after the big events, this is the place for you.
This is the camping trip that Harry, Ron and Hermione only wished they'd been able to go on.
More information will be coming shortly, but if you think you'll be heading down, then feel free to join the comm and talk to other attendees, and also let me know. It'll be awfully exciting.
Judging by the dates, we'll be dropping right in the middle between Accio and Terminus. We'll probably aim for a 'start' date of the 28th of July, and run through Harry's birthday (with a big party to celebrate) and out to just before or after Terminus' dates. So think of a fortnight of Harry Potter fun in the sun, with camping, and water fights, and frolicking in the woods.
As we're just in the preliminary stages, I'd love to know if anyone has any ideas that they'd like to submit. I'm suggesting pow wows, fanfilms (later projected onto the big screen), and of course lots of parties, with lots of booze, picnics, water fights, and trips out to see the wonderful waterfalls, laked and mountains that make this area famous (in robes, of course).
The idea is that those who have cars let other people come down beside them, and divide the bill. That said, there will be plenty of other oppurtunities for travel down through other methods, which will go up when we have a site.
Join the community to be updated with more information and start organising your travel arrangements. And watch this space. More will come soon. P.S. Telling other people is suggested. There -will- be necessary monies to be paid for water and extra for electricity/possibly internets, though I'm working on that.
Fwee!
There'll be more soon.
