Last night was great, particularly the response from the audience. Loads of people came up to me afterwards and said they’d be going out to buy books.
I’ll do a longer post later, with the slide pack, but I can’t do that right now because the Internet access here won’t let me FTP. For now I’d just like to thank the following:
- Alan Greaves and the Flagship team for inviting me and organizing the event
- Andy Sawyer, the University Library and the SF Foundation for sponsoring the event
- The Vice Chancellor, Professor Beer, for her support and for understanding the importance of diversity
- The 100+ people who turned up to listen to me ramble on
- Leah Moore & John Reppion for looking after me so well in the evening
- Brew Dog for opening a Liverpool bar and stocking the bacon-flavored beer
Audio recordings were made. Fingers crossed those will be available fairly soon.
Thanks so much for the great talk last night! I was desperate to chew your ear off (especially about comic book and video game matters) afterwards but had to get home. Definitely gave me some food for thought and I’ll be keeping an eye out for the recording/slides so I can look up some of those books!
