Yet again, I was supposed to be going to the show, and yet again I failed to get organised. I’m not sure why. Part of it is cost, I think, and part of it is definitely a bit of social fear over what exactly you do at a convention; I think I’d just meet up with friends and acquaintances and have a drink, but that almost seems like a waste of the event. I don’t know.

If you run into Andy Winter (Moonface Press) or Regie Rigby (Comics Bulletin) down there, say hello from me!

(I’d love to get some kind of Transformers-related sketch from Andy Wildman if he’s amenable, but I wouldn’t want to be cheeky!)

Sadly I can’t make this one. Last year I couldn’t make but had a call from a friend saying ‘come down and let’s go to the Expo’, hence surprising you there.

I remember going to Nando’s and then the cinema to see Iron Man with the delightful bowman in red’s player, along with my good friend Ellie.

(Also, that weekend I was supposed to be working on a Saturday. My enthusiasm for comics and meeting folks and such had me under the boss’ ire for having to bail. But it was -worth- it.)

Good luck with everything and enjoy it there! This time… from the -other- side of the booth. *Twilight Zone music*

… I really need to update my blog too.

I may have changed phones and lost that number, mate. Send me it via Facebook or to emailrockjaw //at\\ google mail ((dot)) com.

I’ll see you there! You got my number, Stephen, I can’t remember?! Will be propping up the members of the UK Comics Podcasting Group, so will be floating around a bit. Plus have instructions to get a sketch from the DtWTcrew.

Wish I was going to UK Games Expo… who knows, maybe next year. I should take heart that I am going to THE LAND OF GEEKY CONVENTIONS.

Wibble.

Brain in such a mess right now.

Yes, you’re quite right. UK GAMES Expo is sorted for attendance, Bristol COMIC Expo is being a pain. Ta. That’ll teach me to post so early in the morning.

You might be getting Bristol Comic Expo and UK Games Expo confused there, n’est ce pas?

They sold out before I was even sure I was going, so I’m afraid I can’t do much about that.

If needs be, I’ll take orders from ‘special fans’ and pass them on in the evening.

Well, looks like UK Games Expo administration are a bunch of… numpties. No tickets. Absolutely no tickets whatsoever for a couple of 30-something fans. Looks like Pixie and I will just drift down Bris’l way in the evening, then. Not exactly a problem.
