9-10 April 2011 : Cardiff, UK

Hello !

Yes, it's been a while. sorry. I’ve delayed posting about this.

Vidukon 2013 - Getting Involved

If you're interested in getting involved with the next con organization, please let us know asap by emailing at concom@vidukon.co.uk (whether you’ve been involved last time or not)

We are aiming for a con in Spring 2013. This may seem far away now, but con organization will start as early as June 2012. Before that, we have legaleez to sort out which is our priority right now and one of the element we need someone UK based to explore.

One thing I want to make clear is that there is no such thing as “I don’t know enough to help” or “I can’t do much so there’s no point in offering my help”. There is tons of things we need people for, and some of them don’t require lots of work and volunteering to make a show is already a lot, believe me.

That said, we do NEED people with active involvement and a current living in the UK to be part of the con com and help us run this thing, otherwise this won’t happen. That’s a fact. But the more of us involved, the less work for everyone :)

If you’re interested in anything, active involvement or not, please come forward and let us know, we will happily answer your questions about involvement and what that would entitles you to.

Vidukon 2011 - Feedbacks & Comments

This is very late but better late than never... (right ?)

( This is rather long... )

Feel free to comment here for additionnal comments or any remarks. :)

Hi, All. I finally finished my con report. You can find it on Livejournal and Dreamwidth.

Thanks again to buffyann and bop_radar for a fabulous con!

Thanks to everyone for your patience; I just got home yesterday. (:

Enjoy!

I've posts for my panel report for the AU Vidding panel and for my premiering vid Ewan - Our Alternative Hero

AU Vidding panel notes

Ewan - Our Alternative Hero

This was just my second attendance at a con and the first time I'd actually contributed. I am alternately chuffed with taking part and cringing at the things I want to do better next time, but the overall feeling is one of achievement and satisfaction at taking part. I loved every moment of it, and meeting all you fantastic people there, so warm and supportive! I don't think I will do a con report as such, I wouldn't know what to leave it out as it was all so thrilling and informative and awesome :)

Thank you everyone - I'm looking forward to the next Vidukon and seeing you all again :D xx

It's so exciting seeing everyone post up con reports--thank you to all who are sharing them. I want to write my own at some point but in the mean time wish most of all to say an enormous thank you to everyone for giving me the opportunity to grow and learn at the con myself. I was not exactly the most experienced or, er, calm organiser in the world, but I learnt a tremendous amount and I thank everyone for not lynching me for inexperience. :) As stressful as it was, it was a wonderful experience for me also.

Now some official notices...

Lost property
We have one longish black cardigan, which was found in the con suite. If anyone is missing this item and wants to let us know, I will make sure it is mailed to you wherever you need (although it may be back in the US now, thanks to us being such an international community ;)). My bad for forgetting in my haziness to bring it to the final session for claiming.

Apologies
Our most sincere apologies for two errors in printing.

First, the premieres DVD contains an extra vid not listed on the back cover: Inadvisible Interpersonal Relationships by thingswithwings. Perhaps you can all consider it as an exciting 'easter egg' vid?! ;) Seriously, though, we do apologise for any hurt caused by the unintentional error of omission on the cover.

Second, Gwyneth Rhys's vid 'Mad About You' in the 'A Woman's Worth' show had an incorrect fandom listed for it in the program--which is entirely my own error, I'm sorry. It was, of course, of 'Mad Men', not 'Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles'. Again apologies for any hurt caused.

Personal apology
To anyone I hugged and then immediately freaked out by telling them how direly ill I was. Hug first, explain later: possibly not the most considerate interpersonal skills there. ::facepalm::

...but a direct consequence of the con: I had "I want more" stuck in my mind for daaaays :D

I have a couple pictures of fangirls standing out front of the Millennium Centre that Doccy took (... the pictures, not the Centre) but I don't want to straight up post them online in case there's anyone who doesn't want that. So! If you would like a copy of that picture, comment and I'll send you a link to it.

Much <3 for the con reports! Boringly, I'm doing one day a night just starting with Thursday over here. Check back Friday for actual vid show / panel stuff... but in summary, OMG YAY VIDS! And it was brilliance to meet you all and *HANDS*

A brief run down/con report  of VidUKon is posted at my journal here . I hope to have the recs from the Vid shows added very soon. Fantastic time folks, loved meeting you all.

...sort of. Not so much a con report but more a "what I did in Cardiff" post with mentions of the vidshows I watched and the panels I went to as well as the social aspects of the weekend.

Here on LJ or here on DW.

The post has now been locked because of the pictures of myself and Mrs. Charmax. If you didn't get a chance to read the report before and you would still like to, then let me know here. :)

I've just posted my rather rambling con report, with recs, over here.

(And to echo what nemo_r said, I've never written a con report before either, so please let me know if I've made any faux pas!)
