Thanks for sharing your insight into this, Tony.
While of course, like most fans, I'd like to attend
both cons if they have them, I will most likely have
to choose one over the other due to finances.

I'm a bit shocked to hear that Space 1999 seems less
popular in the UK than other Anderson shows are! So I
guess if that's the case it may be more likely they
would have a Thunderbirds convention, since the movie
is soon to be out.

Sunny Florida is just fine with me! So I'm not
complaining at all if this turns out to be the only
Space 1999 anniversary con. (Not to mention that I'm
not too keen with the thought of flying across a vast
ocean! Ha!)
