Chalk up one more for Cambridge. I'm working as a computer science researcher at the moment; I love the city, but I'm getting out of academia as soon as my current contract expires.

Not so much, though the accent is certainly south of heaven. Kingsbury->Stanmore->Archway->Wood Green->Camden->...(out of London - gasp)->Golders Green->Finsbury Park->Clerkenwell->Kings Cross.

Never been to a con either - its always sounded like a very expensive way of turning a hobby into a stressful activity. However, I'm willing to change the habits of a lifetime if I get to meet some cool indie gamers. Especially if I get to play (or run) a game of DiTV.

Doug, you should definitely come to a con and run Dogs. I do recommend Consternation. Oh, and there's something coming up called MayCon. Don't know much about it, but early signs seem good.

It's interesting to see the changes since I first posted this topic two years ago.

From my perspective there seem to be many more folks from this side of the pond active on the site now, and in the attendant blog-sphere. There seems to be more of an "indie scene" building over here too. We totally rocked Conpulsion with Indie Games Track. There are already mutterings of a bigger presence for indie games at Dragonmeet and other cons, maybe even an indie fest.

This is all kinds of awesome.

By the way, if any of the Londoners did want to meet up for a game and a pint, drop me a PM. I know some of you already, of course.
