Stay here (http://www.piccadillyhotel.net/london-hostels-english/london-hostels-main.html)! I am staying there, and it is like 15 pounds a night! CHEAP!!! With the flight only costing $500 on USairways.com, the whole trip (food, travel, etc) will be done for under $1200! WOOT! Post here if you are going to book, we have 4 girls already (can go up to 6 in one room), and we can start a guys room if any guys are going! There is no console at this event, so come to party and support the PC players while getting a vacation!
YIPPEE, I am going to London!

I'm looking at going to the games festival on the 6th Oct, didn't know there was a WSVG London. I'll try to make it a day trip down there but I dunno about staying in a hotel. See what the situation is nearer the time.

Just so you know in the UK they still use £ (pounds) instead of Euros. They didn't swtich over. So don't exchange your US $ for Euros...LOL

Stu, you're going?? Sweet! At this point in time, I'd say it's highly likely that I'm going too (notice how I'm not committing myself ;)) and of course you can't not be there. If you know what I'm saying. I'd probably be flying in ridiculously early on the Friday so I'm totally looking forward to hanging with you as well as the girls :D

Don't bother with euros; they don't count, its more monopoly money :p LOL
$1 = 70p £1 =$1.40
$10 is about £7 (depending on the exchange rate)

No idea what euros equate to in US dollars

I might actually be able to go. I need to see if I can find someone to cover my flight from PDX to LA - I have a plane ticket that I didn't use earlier this year from LA to Heathrow. I'd love to go though AND I have those days off - wooooot! Cross your fingers!

Hmmm I just checked out that link Twin, I was thinking you were staying at a 5 star hotel. £12 a night hostel sounds good though, paid £20 at another hostel down the road before. It looks like a smart place to stay too.
Athena Twin PMS
09-18-2006, 10:51 PM
Woo hoo! Here is the thing, we need to know who is going and what days! It needs to be reported to Frantic so she can organized rooms! We can fit as much a 6 people in one room, or we can do a couple of rooms of 4, tec. But she has to know WHO and When to oraganize! This is going to be SO MUCH FUN! :p

I wish I could go!!! Give Frantic a huge hug from Roadkill!!! Wish Mocha and I could join in the fun, But I need to rob a bank before we could travel to the UK. Frantic you'll have to let me know how much fun you all had!!:)

A lot of thought has gone into that King and the end product....is an 'e'....clever stuff eh?
Must be Mr Moneybags himself on the notes I would guess, sitting in his sports car driving past the thimble and that oversized dog. I mean really.....a dog thats bigger than a sports car! :s
OK well for organisational purposes I'll say count me in....tempted to stay for the 3 days (leave sunday night).

I am a fecking ninja. Just incase anyone wondered.
My trip is BOOKED!
I'm arriving at Heathrow 11:45a Thursday Oct. 5th
Departing Heathrow 11:30a Wednesday Oct. 11th.
Anyone over on that side of the pond know how/where I can hop the tube to the hostel? I've never done the whole London thing.

Ok you can get onto the Underground (tube) from Heathrow Central (terminals 1, 2 & 3). Get on the Piccadilly Line, which travels Eastbound (there aren't any other lines to get onto from Heathrow) and try to enjoy the ride all the way to Piccadilly Circus. The hostel is smack bang in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
Here is something that you can use for reference and if you want to have a look.
