This is going to sound really girly, but...

....what do I need to pack for Pegasus 4? How dressed up are the parties? I'm asking because I've got to pack tomorrow (dropping the cat of Tuesday evening) and then I'm off to Sweden on Wednesday. Any advice from the old hands?

The parties aren't that dressed up - I'll just be wearing what I wear during the day (of course, I never get dressed up for parties, so I'm rarely the best person to follow)

I think people get as dressed up as they want, so as casual or not as you want.

I'm getting so excited. I'm driving up on Thursday night after work. Probably going to get there about 8ish, if not earlier. I'll text you once I'm there (unless you get there on Firday, like I'm suddenly thinking you might be).

Oh, and one thing I will say is make sure you have lots of cash. The cash machine at the hotel and at the petrol station nearby run out very quickly and practically everything there is cash based.

Cool, I can wear what I want. I get there on Friday morning. My plane from Sweden lands at about 8.30, so I'll be over once I've lodged the complaint about missing bags (fingers crossed not but it is Heathrow). What would be very cool is if I can stick my bag in your room until I can check in.

Ta for the tip about cash.

Of course you can, not a problem.

Hope everything goes well in Sweden.

Hi,

Is this your first Wolf Event? If so, welcome :) and I hope you really enjoy it.

Yep, Ionaonie is quite right, some people really posh themselves up, others just go for smart casual, others just comfortable..

Just bear in mind that the disco starts right after the last guest leaves the meet and greet, so if you don't want to be running off to get changed before you can dance, wear something danceable ;)

And yes, everything is cash based - pretty much the only thing we take cards for is; items bought in the auction and tickets for other Wolf events.

Hope you enjoy the weekend.... I always do!

as others have said, it's totally down to you - i almost never wear anything smarter than jeans and t-shirts at cons but some people do get dressed up, or even wear fancy dress...

i'm getting so excited about this weekend! i'm arriving lunchtime on friday and i REALLY hope the checking-in process goes quicker than last year... also, if you're staying at the hotel where the con is and you're getting breakfast - make sure you check the times on the tickets they give you, last year my sister and i got crappy times that were the same as events so we couldn't actually get any breakfast!

have fun in sweden & hopefully see you at some point this weekend!

My only tip for Wolf is:

COMFORTABLE SHOES!!!

Because seriously...queuing much...

Oh, and apparently, I was wrong. I get there Friday too. So, ummm, no room to put bags in. I wouldn't be surprised though if the hotel has somewhere you can put them.

I'll get there before check-in anyway, so if you are having problems, there'll be my car.

I'm always getting dates wrong *eyeroll*

Thanks for the advice. I think I'm built for comfort not speed :-)

I shall keep an eye out about breakfast times. Do you mean check-in at the hotel? I spoke to them today because my flight gets in madly early. They said you can check in early so, hush hush, turn up a bit earlier.

I'm sure I shall see you at the weekend. You should wear a carnation or something so I can spot you :-) Alternatively if you know Iona I'll be with her I imagine.

Ah, I always have comfortable shoes now because I buggered my instep over the summer and it hurt like a very hurty thing. So, merrells for me.

I spoke to the hotel today and he said 'it's the recession, check in early.' They're apparently not very full right now so the rooms should be ready when I arrive. So, text me when you get there.

Getting excited now. Just printed out Recipes from Pegasus. Oh, and mostly packed.
