(That was meant to be sarcastic, sorry.) I’ll let you know when I’m in the UK next, don’t worry. If things go one way, I might even end up there for a bit of time, eventually.

You have beer in Ireland, right? That’s the only expectation I have. >_-

The two lovely Irish girls of course xD, so when do you plan a trip over again? Maybe you’s should all come over here to Ireland xD although don’t set any high expectations

But which two lunatics? The lovely Irish girls? Or Grim the Scottsman? Or… I’m sure there were more, but I was a bit fuzzy at that point.

I got the dates wrong too. The 9th is the Saturday, which is when I intend to attend.

Oh, that might be a bit last minute for a hop across the pond. Adam, you should come to a convention on this side some time.

Plus, Adam, there’s the problem of me being a nerd as well. How could you avoid me? you couldn’t, mwahahaha.

Roo, it’s the 9th and 10th of May. I intend to go on the 10th, since I’ll be in school on the Friday, which figures, really. You totally should come. Some of my mates should be there too.

And it would be a terrible shame to have you sleeping through the expo. When is this… should I try to come, if I’m between jobs at that point (which is looking increasingly likely to happen soon)?

So that explains it! Way better than building a wall…

And it reminds me I need to visit more often. >_-

I could swear I’ve already commented on this…

Anyway, this comic makes me proud to be British.

The alcohol I can avoid… Actually I’m not a particularly big drinker, being the sort of drunk that normally falls asleep. It just happened that Manchester demanded it.

The nerds however, I’m not sure you can avoid them at the expo… it’s like their spiritual home.

“Yeah I saw the statue of liberty, but only from the Brooklyn bridge on my way to get some pizza”

Ha. From what I hear, the pizza there is more of an attraction than the statue any day…

Liverpool it is then

Barmen in Chepstow are actually required to do that by law – It’s how we actually control immigration.

Any time, Roo.

Adam, if I do meet you at Comic Expo next month, remind me to keep you away from the pub. And for that matter, the alcohol shop and the hotel with the bar. And all the nerds.

I’m so annoyed I missed Roo being England, although I did chat to him on the phone for long enough to TOTALLY mess with my parent’s heads. Good times, good times.

That’s my kind of vacation. Seriously, i meet up with some friends once or twice a year (ex. New York City, Chicago) and people ask me what i did… ate and drank… a LOT. Yeah i saw the statue of liberty, but only from the Brooklyn bridge on my way to get some pizza after hitting up a couple bars.

Roo comic! Yay!

Nothing else of substance to add here other than hoping that I make it in that direction sometime. Though you don’t have to show me around Manchester.

Oh, you know I plan on retaliating. If you make it out to Philadelphia, we have a number of fie local breweries we can visit: Victory Brewery is located here, as well as the lesser known Nodding Head Brewery and Dock Street Brewery. Oh, and Independence Brew Pub. If the weather's nice, you can even bicycle easily between them all: there was a binge'n'bike race not too long ago that hit all four in sequence -- I don't think anyone fell down. Actually, I hardly remember the hangover at all. I think the excellent art and the Light Syndicate overshadowed. Although, I didn't get but four or five miles away from the coast at Prestatyn the next day. But it was beautiful nonetheless. But jokes aside, thanks for having me Adam. It was a great trip, and I had a splendid time. I hope I can do it again soon. (Well, minus the bit where the welsh barman in Chepstow got me so pissed I missed my return flight. I'll plan in an extra day for drinking next time I'm in Wales, it's apparently necessary.)
