Well, colour me surprised. Alohomora 2013 in London has become LeakyCon London. Maybe it will turn out to be the biggest ever HP event in the UK after all.
Dates are given as 8-11 August. Theoretically I can go, but as it is I'll need a lot of time off April/May/July so taking a long weekend then might be pushing it - even if I can find the cash after Misti-Con, a family reunion in Canada and maybe starting a(nother) postgrad degree.
Whether I will go depends a lot on the program and whether anyone else I know is going. UK fandom has always felt more homegrown, and I found Ascendio rather large, and comments there let me to think that LeakyCons tend to appeal to a different crowd, as well as amplifying the disadvantages of size. But perhaps it would be different in London.
So I am more curious than excited ('twould be hard for anything to excite compared to Misti-Con). Good to hear it's defnitely happening, though.
Have any of you been to a US LeakyCon?
