Announcing the DD-UK Convention 2012!!

I’ve been sitting, waiting for this news since I went to the UK in November, and I’m not exaggerating.  Going to see the band’s homeland was really fun in May.  Going to see the band PLAY in their homeland was phenomenal.  The idea of going back again (3rd time in what – 18 months?) for the DD-UK Convention is brilliant!

After a few spoilers, the announcement was made this morning on Facebook.  A couple of things I want to point out in advance:

1. YOU MUST APPLY FOR TICKETS.  If you haven’t done this already – go do it!  Do it now!!! Spots are limited.  Apparently the city of Birmingham can’t possibly handle ALL of the Duranies in the world…so if you want to go, now is the time to say so!  The application portal is open until January 31st!

2. Amanda and I are definitely going.  Yes, I just typed that.  We really are!  Even if we don’t get tickets to the actual convention, we will be there and there *will* be a party.  We’ll definitely do a get together on Friday night before the convention – so plan to get to Birmingham the night before if you can!   Now if someone wouldn’t mind letting my husband know of my impending absence….that’d be fab.  Thanks.

For those who haven’t seen the information, look below!

Ok here we go guys, the moment you have all been waiting very patiently for….. Oh, don’t forget to share this news on Facebook and Twitter.
