Hello there! You probably think I have gone and done a runner with the money. Nope. I am still here. (And with plenty of packages arriving soon at those of you who have bought or won something in the fundraiser, you’d have my address anyway to send some law enforcement my way… Um, come to…
Dear all – that was exciting! And everything came together. I was barely home from my invigilation gig and I received an immediate translation job. Coupled with the fact that I had mistakenly believed the *first* auction would end at 3.20pm, I suddenly found myself in the middle of the auction live tweet while I…
Good morning everybody. Have you opened the second door of the 2019 RAdvent CalendRA yet? I am having a busy day today. It’s annual invigilation season again. As you are reading this, I am overseeing exams – an annual gig that will this year take me to my old hunting grounds in the college I…
Good morning all. I let things go their way yesterday rather than start the customary Twitter barrage of updates and milestones. But now the time has come. We are basically half way through the fundraiser at this point, and after the first stats yesterday morning, I’d like to give you a little update on the…
Who would’ve thought that we have another auction fundraiser before the year is over? Well, there is a need, and therefore the latest collection of donated fan items will now be auctioned and sold – just in time for the holiday season. So the fact that you are reading this post now, means that we…
Are you ready? What you see in the gif is just a little teaser. There will be more items available. At the last count we will have a range of 26 offers on eBay and 47 sale items on Etsy. That’ll be a lot of copy and pasting for me tomorrow as I manage the…
Is it too early for presents? Nah, it’s never too early for presents. For the third year running, I have decided to sweeten up your run-up to Christmas with a RAdvent Calendar. Best of all – all that sweetness without any calories. What’s not to love? So get ready for this year’s advent fun. 24…
As promised: Why are we fundraising? I’d like to share a bit more info on what is currently happening with the site. Ali and I have started the migration of the site to my ownership. To that end I have opened a new account with a hosting provider. The annual hosting fee of US$ 102.77…
There are increasing indications that Mr A is going to implement his 2018 promise of cosying up to his fans more. German con organisers MagicCon have been mystery-tweeting all yesterday. And if you haven’t guessed yet who the ‘major star’ is who will apparently also attend MagicCon 2020, then I revoke your membership in this…
Have you got your tickets for UV locked down? Maybe you are like me – tickets bought but not all other details finalised. Priorities, right? The most important consideration is to make sure we get to see RA on stage. Flight? Accommodation? Can be dealt with later. On the latter, I’ve had a few questions bts…
