Antonia Forest Conference

[leapingirbis.livejournal.com]

The Antonia Forest Conference is rapidly approaching ... and as this is my very first non-work-related, non-professional, purely-voluntary conference EVER, I am starting to get slightly nervous. It occurs to me that I have no idea what sort of people go to such things. Will everyone there know one another except for me? Will they all be madly intellectual or greet one another with secret handshakes? If you meet people who are members of AF forums, will they identify themselves as such or are internet personas secret identities which are never to be revealed in Real Life?

Therefore my question - how many Trennels members will be at the conference? Does anyone know how many attendees there will in fact be? And if there is a special handshake - can someone let me know how it goes???

I'm going. And though I do know a few of the people who will be there, I'm sure most of us will be new to each other, so you shouldn't worry!

Though I think we will have to volunteer our online identities if we want anyone to know. Unless someone wants to invent a special trennels handshake (and draw diagrams of how to perform it).

One of those electric-shocky things to conceal in the palm of your hand that they sell in joke shops?

Or perhaps we should do Lawrie-style salutes to our cheering regiments.
