Not sure if this will sway anyone, but I've just heard that John Ridgeway will be in Lancaster tomorrow.

Now that is goodfor me as I've never met him before, and a Luke Kirby sketch would be sweet.

Still doesn't make up for Matt and David not being there :p

Yaaaay! Had a great time.

Firstly, sorry that not everyone could make it, would have been great to see you.

Got to chat to Brian Talbot and John Ridgeway and get some stuff signed.

There was a great moment when John Ridgeway, failing to see the horrified strangled look in my eyes, flattened down the cover of my mint condition Dead Man titan book with the palm of his hand to sign. Gnnngh! Heh heh...

Met and chatted to loads of people I knew from the small press scene, and got to talk to more still. Met people I knew only from the internet, people who'd done stuff for solar wind that had previously just been e-mails.

From the board there was Bolt, Olly (and Mary), Merlin and Monkey-something. Got talking to one couple and found out they lived in the village next to mine, 5 minutes drive away. Small world.

The event was small, but in an amazing location in this huge folly building at the summit of a park. It was very well organised and I did surprisingly very well for a show that size. Well done, Ant.

Had a great time, got there and back in one piece, and I drank a red bull on the way home, which counts for this long enthusiastic post!

Great stuff :)

"Brian Talbot and John Ridgeway"

Who is this person? Or did you meet Bryan Talbot?

Enquiring minds demand to know!

Cheers

Watch it, Cambell.

Jim_Campbell · 28 October, 2006, 09:37:00 PM

"Watch it, Cambell."

Are you sure you didn't meet Stan Ridgway?

"Oh-Oh-Oooh-Oh

This was an awfully big Marine."

Cheers!

Yes, Jim, I spelt Brian with an I, not a Y.

DavidXBrunt · 28 October, 2006, 09:46:52 PM

Which doesn't, in the grand scheme of things, really matter.

Though I'll never forgive Fraser Urving for mis-spelling my name on a page of art I'd bought.

Don't wish to be pedantic... but you missed the 'p' in Campbell, too.

Unless, of course, you deliberately meant to take the p. ;-)

paulvonscott · 28 October, 2006, 09:58:14 PM

No no no, stop, this series of posts is giving me a headache :p

paulvonscott · 28 October, 2006, 09:58:54 PM

I also spelt Ridgway wrong.

Jim_Campbell · 28 October, 2006, 10:08:24 PM

"Though I'll never forgive Fraser Urving for mis-spelling my name on a page of art I'd bought."

He didn't spell it 'Brnut' did he? That sort of thing can you get you banned from certain forums, I hear ...

Cheers!

Worse than that...oh much worse than that...

He put...

To Dave!

I remain, sir, a David and proud of it.

"I remain, sir, a David and proud of it."

You are David Bishop, and I claim my five pounds.

Cheers!
