That’s my travel done again for a whole 5 days. What have I achieved?
Well, the word on BristolCon is that we would like to do it again, but there are issues to be addressed, most importantly with the hotel which may be a bit upscale for a convention. The plan is to do a full day next time, rather than just an afternoon. If anyone would like to get involved, you know who to ask.
BICS was not particularly inspiring, but I did get my signed copy of Grandville and I did get to hang out with folks like Paul Cornell, Liam Sharp, Terry Martin, Tony Lee, Barry and Dave from Geek Syndicate and so on. Unexpectedly I also had a long chat with Damien G Walter, who I hadn’t thought I would see there. Dan Boultwood was, I think, a little worse for wear (again) but he was vertical. He and Tony were judging the CosPlay. I would have liked to be a fly on the wall for that.
Grandville is fabulous. Review to come.
I’ve also been reading Jeanette Winterson’s The Stone Gods which is much better than I had expected.
And now I have a mountain of email to attend to.
My friend Chris was there today and left somewhat unwowed. I’ll be there tomorrow, of course.
Steve:
Hope your talk went well today.
It appears that I missed out on (or possibly escaped) an epic drinking session last night.
