Have to say that the final talk was about as nutty and farfetched as I've ever heard. TOTALLY what I go there for.

It was about Dogmen, one of which was observed out in the open eating a German shepherd dog. Near Hull.

I was entranced. Half-expected a Dogman to burst in through the door, snarl at the screaming audience and eat the speaker.

Morning escargot who was the speaker for that.
Just starting to get into the dogmen thing I’ve been reading/listening to some of the podcasts etc

I'd like to know more about that story!

Plus ASSAP have theirs in Bath around August / September-ish.

Stu, huge thanks for flagging this up. I live in Bath, about a five-mile cycle ride away from the Uni, so I'll be there - and to my surprise Mrs Cycleboy is also interested. We'll probably even go to the dinner.

It's on 3rd-4th September.

I'm hoping to make it, and like you am fairly local, but it's our son's birthday that weekend and we may be away.

Scargie has volunteered to do a talk about the ghosts of Crewe, but she may be talking out of her arse

I thought we weren't to mention politics....

It wouldn't even need to be an 'official convention' as such. Could just be an informal get-together of interested souls. I am sure that the resulting conversations would be edifying (and free).

might be an idea to open up a separate thread to call for ideas and see if we could get something set up see how the wind is blowing ect

There was an unofficial UnCon, once, in Cromer. Here are the results...

Is that a bloke who's eaten too many pets and absorbed their DNA?

 

[Who me]

Morning skargy thanks for that

Jamie is well up on his subject. I asked him about the Dogheaded Men and he knew all about that too.
We had a brief discussion of how Anubis, formerly known as the Jackal-Headed God, is now believed to have actually been more dog-featured.

My brother told me when we were children that he saw two Dogheaded Men walking down the street near our home. I didn't mention that to Jamie as he'd've been so excited, he might have swallowed me whole on the spot.

I misread that as "eaten too many pies and absorbed their DNA...", and was confused.
