...and also the premiere of Series 7 of Doctor Who:

...Anyone got a spare £500?

That is steep.

Perhaps you can join the catering group or security SH?

Good idea m0r.. I will also look.. *will sell self to Jim or Mycroft*

A crafty plan methinks!

Maybe we could then smuggle other members of the forum in on the refreshment trolleys?

Don't you get in free if you have a play or event on there? We should all make a film together or put on a play!

Great idea. I'll be in charge of the music department (along with anyone else that would like to do it with me).

OMG I want to volunteer at the Edinburgh Festival one year. I've heard it's a HUGE amount of work and you get no sleep but it's worth it.

*looks*

*has stern talk with self that it's far too expensive*

*thinks of things to sell*

Oh dear, I just had a look on their website and you can get a 50% discount if you're under 26. I may have sent an email asking them how to get the discount voucher....

Age-ists!

How can that POSSIBLY be fair? I am outraged!

**Posted by Davina** May 17, 2012 6:23 pm

Can I borrow someone else's ID please? Oh the irony!

**Posted by Lisbeth** May 20, 2012 7:57 pm

They emailed me back! I've had to send them a scan of my passport to prove my DOB. (very official sounding!)

You can also get a discount if you're a student (of any age)

More news filtering through on this: so far it's reported on Sherlockology & various tumblr accounts but no actual media release as such on this:

Just released by the Media Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival comes the news that Benedict Cumberbatch will be joining the already announced Sherlock Masterclass at the festival, ‘alongside Steven Moffat, Sue Vertue, Mark Gatiss and Paul McGuigan. They’ll be discussing the process of creating and realising this modern TV masterpiece, with some exclusive insights into what to expect from the forthcoming season.’

I think I'm actually going to die....

My mum has bought me a ticket for my birthday. There are no words to describe how unbelievably excited that makes me. Originally she was going to get me tickets to a murder mystery weekend, but ages ago I mentioned in passing that Moffat & Co were doing this thing at Edinburgh, never even for a minute expected anything and then she breaks the news that she's got me a bloody ticket. My birthday's not till August but she had to tell me early so I could make arrangements. She's even booked my train tickets and accomodation too.

I literally don't know what I'll do if Benedict really is attending...I mean...literally...can't speak.

EDIT: Do you realise how hard that was to type without using exclamation marks?

You have time to get over your nerves; train hard, you CAN do this!

That's great, what a wonderful mum you have . We are all eagerly awaiting your report.

Yes, remember you're training from the what would you do if you met your favorite Sherlock actor thread. You can do it!
My mother let me go to New York City with my friend all on our own to see our favorite dance company when we were 16. it was the thrill of a lifetime. Thank goodness for wonderful understanding moms.
