Hi! I'm on a panel at the "Television Without Borders" Conference at the University of Reading next week and will be talking about television archive research in the U.S., Saturday, June 28th. I'm leaving the US Wednesday evening, arriving at Heathrow Thursday morning. I then fly back to the US on Sunday. I wish I could stay longer, but the conference is only hosting me for a few days, and we're short-staffed here.

It would be great to see people if possible though.

:)

How cool Karen! :cool: I wish I could go with to watch and visit.

Oh my gosh! So where are you staying Krin?

Somewhere on the Bulmershe Court campus - I'll find out exactly where once I arrive next Thursday. :)

So in Reading itself I think....and you arrive Thursday 26th go home Sunday 29th... hmmmm Sunny and I are meeting on Saturday 28th in Windsor I hope and that is about 35 miles from Reading I think. Hmmmm. could this be possible? Any idea of your plans Krin, and what time you are speaking etc on Saturday'?

How great!!!

I just not envy you because I myself will be in England from August 1st to August 7th!!! :bananacheer:

Have a great stay and don't forget to share the details when you come back!

My panel is on Saturday from 1:30-2:30 pm. I'll probably attend a panel afterwards from 3-4:30, but then I'd be free.

I need to speak to Sunny when she is back from hols :)

A bit too far from me I'm afraid but have a great time.

Have fun! Hope you all get to meet up!

have a super time on your trip! I hope you all get to meet up and have fun.
Krin, I sent ya the book for last month's Sci-Fi swap. It will probably be waiting for you when you get back :)

cheers!

have a great time. hope you get to meet up too :)

Krin, have a great time!!

It's the middle of the night at the mo. but when I'm more awake will talk to dh ( and Giz!) abouts plans for next week :D

Yay Sunny is back :grin:

I'm jealous :blush: Have a great time gals :wink:

Just checking - any plans made? I will have intermittent email access there - the coordinator said I could use her computer, but I don't know how often yet. I'm krin5292 on gmail.

I don't think we are going to be able to make it to you Krin :cry: Sunny has to drive back home that evening :( the rest of the time you are here I have to work. Next time you come it would be cool - if I have notice I can take time off :hug:

:cry: I'll wave to you when I'm there. :wave: Perhaps someday I can return for a longer stay. :hug:

I'm home! :wave:

Here's a recap:

I left home (Olney) at 9:40 Wednesday morning. I took a flight from Baltimore to JFK and then a flight from JFK to Heathrow arriving 7:30 Thursday morning (London time) = 2:30 am my time. After going through Passport Control, I went down to get my bag - it wasn't there. :cry: I got a reference number to call later, and took a bus and taxi to the Bulmershe campus of the University of Reading. My bag arrived in the UK Thursday afternoon and got to me Friday afternoon.

So, you're probably wondering - how was the conference? It was very good. It was titled "Television Without Borders: Transfers, Translations and Transnational
Exchange" and there were papers about "Blood Ties," "Heroes," "Sesame Street," and the recent adaptation of "Gulliver's Travels". I talked about the wide variety of television archive resources in the US.

I didn't have time to go to London, or even Reading proper - maybe next time! :)

Glad you had a good time - and that your bag caught up with you!!

Darn I missed this thread.
So you just left England and I am going tomorrow. :rolleyes: :lol:

Also for onlyt a few days (6)
and was it stella who is going in August for a week?

Have fun ! :wave:

Going to shower and shafe and then vacuum. When i've done that I can pack my suitcase and finally I hope I can relax.

Hope you have a great time Marlene. The weather is glorious at the moment, hope it stays this way. :hug:
