Can I just say when I changed the calendar from April to May, my heart started thumping. One year away! Can you imagine just how insane we'll all be this time next year????

Anyone from england, uk, going to this convention? i am from england. im, by the looks of it, flying on my own. i put a post on the 'anyone going to leakycon09?' thread sayin i have a dilemna. my mother, annoyingly enough, doesnt want to go to boston. ive never been to the usa before. i am quite happy to go there on my own. i just thought it might be better to make friends with some people who are going to the leakycon and who are stayin at the plaza hotel, as thats where i am planning on stayin as its the main place and i wont have to travel to get there. im 22, and pretty easy to get on with. if anyone is like 15+ then id love to get to know ya! im a very young 22yr old, so u kno lol. im waiting to hear when i can register for a room and then in june i can book a flight, i would book one nearer the time, but knowing the way the prices go up and down, if i wait til later then the price could either be really cheap, in which case brilliant, but it could also go the other way, and then i would be stuck. anyway, so if anyone is defo goin, then i wanna make an effort to keep contact with ppl who r goin too, because i am definatly going no matter what. i pay for the flights, etc, so i dont see why i shouldnt be able to go! haha thatll teach my mother hahee

Hello everyone!
I'm so excited about LeakyCon! I don't know for certain yet that I'll be able to go but if so, LeakyCon will be my second conference after Terminus. *recognizes Sasha and waves* 
Does anyone know of any good things to do in and around Boston?

Hey groovygal2k! As my username suggests, I'm from Scotland and I'm going. I've just registered for the Leaky Lounge (so this is my first post!! Hello Leaky Loungers!!!) so I could get more info on LeakyCon and I was gonna ask if anyone form the UcK was going over, because I'll be going by myself as well.
I'll probably be flying to Boston from London and I'm intending to go over for a couple of weeks so I can see more of Boston after the Con, and then head up to NYC for a week or so. I'm a wee bit older than you at 34 (since last month. Ouch!!) but when it comes to HP I'm just a big kid!!!!

Hi everyone! 
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who's new to the Lounge. I signed up ages ago and let myself get intimidated by the size of it all (I felt like I should read everything ever posted so I wouldn't repeat anything, and that just wasn't feasible, LOL!)
Anyway, I'm here now because I'm just so excited about LeakyCon (my first conference) and I think it should be much easier to follow a thread that has just begun. I'm 30 years old and live about a hour south of Boston, so travel will be pretty easy for me. I think it'll also be nice to be local because I'll be able to participate in as much of the conference programming as possible, without feeling like I need to fit in all the sight-seeing stuff at the same time. I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to talk any friends into coming up with me--none of them are HP fanatics like I am--so I'm really looking forward to getting to know all of you over the next year. (Wow, a whole year...it seems so far away even though I'm sure it'll go by before I know it!)

Hello! *waves and looks around a little nervously*
I, like some other people here, am new to the Leaky Lounge. To be honest, big forums kind of intimidate me, so I'll probably be staying in the little LeakyCon corner, for awhile at least.
Okay, a little about me, as an introduction. I've been involved in the fandom probably for about a year or so now, but I became more involved after the release of DH. I went to Phoenix Rising, but didn't really know anyone, so didn't participate in as much as I could have, and I'm going to Terminus this summer (3 months from tomorrow!, so I"m really excited to meet people there.
I'm relatively sure that I'll be going to LeakyCon, although nothing's confirmed or set in stone yet, because I haven't booked the flight, room, etc yet. However, I'm really excited to get to know some of you in the next year before the Con.
I'm 15, and I cohost a wrock podcast, am a HUGE fan of basically all wizard rock, write some fanfiction stories that I desperately need to update, and otherwise just love having friends in the fandom.
I can't wait to get to know you guys on the forums!
~Cody

Hey everyone! seems like you are all getting settled down for a nice long chat. Excellent. This is just the place for it.
If you are interested in things to do in Boston, visit the LeakyCon website, we have links for Boston activities on it. Loads to do around the hotel area (but I gotta tell you... I didn't have time to SLEEP at Prophecy, much less do any site seeing!)
It sounds like this is going to be a first con for many of you... you are in for a fantastic treat. Harry Potter conferences are amazing, and of course we plan on pulling out all the stops for you this time around.
I guess I should introduce myself! I'm Questauthor, aka Lisa DeGroodt. I've been working in the Reading Groups on the Lounge for about a year, and now I am helping out with LeakyCon as the Communications Committee Chairperson. My group of CHARMed ones (Communicating Happenings And Resources Management) will be bringing you the online communities, press kits, newsletters, and website updates. Whew. As my moniker implies, I am an author of several fantasy books known as the Quest Series. I also work full time at a 'real life' job, have a wonderful husband and two children and yeah, I have no more time left in my life!
Enjoy the forum, folks. We're intimate and small and it's going to be a wonderful year and a wonderful conference.
