Well, I'll be attending, if only to challenge Mark Millar to a fight on a conveyor belt.

[longmanshort]

You can join our lynch mob then ... he ain't leaving Leeds alive

[Wils]

Malchi and I should be going again, but I won't be queuing for any sketches this year. Aside from freeing up more drinking time, this will also keep Billy-Three-Sketches and his mate The Amazing Teleport Boy free from my wrath. ;)

Oh wow, after being a fan of comics for pretty much my entire life and being born in Leeds i find out there is a festival celebrating comics after i move to Bolton?

Typical.

IF possible i will be trying to attend, not that too many people will care but i thought it kind of humorous that this is the first i had heard of it.

[Rio De Fideldo]

I am going this year after bailing out last year. I'm in Driffield so there's no excuse. My wife was monaing slightly that it was a waste of a Saturday plus we'll be skint cos we're going to Paris the weekend before. She then only goes and books a flight to San Diego for her and her mate for the week after so she really can't begrudge me an afternoon in Leeeeds.

Credit Crunch? I spit on your Credit Crunch. Pound falling against dollar? I spit on erm...

So who else is going?

[Steven Sterlacchini]

It's right on my doorstep, so I'll probably pop in.

Despite only living in Manchester I've already booked a hotel room and train tickets. Now I just need to find an unlucky soul to have nasty hotel sex with me.


...



JOKE!

[SamuelAWilkinson]

You mean you don't live in Manchester?

[paulvonscott]

I shall be there, on my wee stall selling home-baked comics.  Mention you're a boarder and you can have a free one.

There should be a big banner with an alien and the word omnivistascope along the top and behind the stall an astonishingly miserable git

[Aaron Smurf Murphy]

The Thought Bubble site doesn't seem to have the small press exhibitors listed yet which is a bit odd. Either way, I've got myself a table with comic book chum Chris Garside all lined up and the pair of us will be selling comics, posters and other assorted tat. Our websites are www.aaronsmurfmurphy.deviantart.con and www.kristofski.com respectively and we'll hopefuly be updating them both soon with updates as to what we'll be getting up to on the day.

Also, whilst it's mighty tempting to get a free OVS from PVS I'm reckoning it's far fairer to trade you one of my comics for one instead. Deal?

[paulvonscott]

Careful, the small press police might be on patrol!

I'll accept the banker's offer.

[Al_Ewing]

I'm going to be there. No reason not to be anymore.

I might even bring an iPod speaker thingy and do an impromptu DJ SESH.

[Proudhuff]

No reason not to be anymore.

Que?

[Al_Ewing]

I thought I'd have something possibly tying me up around that date, but that's not going to be the case, PH. I'll happily tell you all about it in person.
