I shall be spending Saturday in Bristol at the Comics Expo. I’d like to encourage you folks to come along as well, but the event is sold out. For some reason, probably to do with the economy, the event has been downsized this year and is taking place only in a hotel. For safety reasons there is a membership cap. I’m not sure what it is, but I shall try to find out.

However, somewhat confusingly, there is also a Small Press Expo on at a nearby hotel at the same time, and some of the guests are attending both. The Small Press Expo is apparently still open to day members. That might be a good way to catch up with some of the star attendees.

Anyway, there is a fine guest list. I shall doubtless be hanging out with the likes of Eugene Byrne, Simon Gurr and Liam Sharp. I am a little disappointed not to see Veronique Tanaka in attendance, but there you go. I’m not sure if there is anything specific I need to be looking out for, but if there is I am sure that Pádraig or Joe will tell me.
