Just a heads-up, for any Norn Iron boarders, of the upcoming 2D Comics Festival in Derry:
http://www.2dfestival.com/
I'm hoping to pop up on the Sunday, perhaps setting a stall up. If you see me about, make sure and say heeellllo! :)
Being a non-driving wuss, I'm at the mercy of the bus schedules for this, but it might be doable.
The programme seems a little nonexistent beyond the guest list, though. Anything you can tell us about that's worth checking out?
I'll be there and assuming your avatar looks anything like you I'll keep an eye out for you. ;) And if I happen to see a lion wandering about I'll know Professah Byah's about too. :D
See ya there!
Cool, Colin! :)
Prof, I only found out about it last week, so not sure what's going on at all. But, looks the business! And Colin's going to be there! :D
Really disapointed I cant go. Left Derry 14yrs ago. Miss the place now & then. Would love to meet Pat Mills. Might make it over next year
I'd love to go...maybe Saturday's an option...
M.
I should be there saturday - heading from belfast earlyish and leaving later that night. (2D coincides with my youngests birthday, so timing is a pain...)
Saturday I'll be recording the Sunnyside Comics podcast somewhere, so if you wanna pop in and say hello, feel free...

Just confirmed I'll have a stall, selling and signing copies of my horror novel, FLU.
Looking forward to chatting to all of you guys! We'll have to get a group boarders photo! :D
Well, didn't get a group photo, per se. I was honounred enough to get a snap with the wonderfully talented Colin MacNeill!

Colin, it was an absolute pleasure talking with you! :)
That is not Colin, where is his hat??????

The hat was in the vicinity. No doubt huffing and playing hard to get, as hats tend to do.

I just had a kind of visual Freudian slip when i just looked at that pic because just for a second or two i thought it was Colin holding a pint of beer then i realised it was HOO-HAA holding up a copy of his book.

And then I looked at the pic, again, and saw the book change to a pint of beer... and then back to the book...
ARGH! Now, where's Walter Bishop when you need him... :D
One of these day im going to make it up to one of these. Good Time Hoo-Haa? Any 2000ad gossip, or even gossip in general?! I spoke to Mr McNeil a few years back at a Dreddcon, lovely guy, any sketches?

Only managed to get up for the day - from about 11ish, did lots of (free) sketching for kids, had some food and then went to the pub and sat on a panel with Pat Mills (!) (interesting 2000ad factoid: Pat Mills did NOT write burger wars, despite being credited as such)
Good fun, didn't get saying hello to as many people as I should have (always feel a bit akward walking up to people I don't know and just saying hello, it's stupid but it's true) on the other hand did spend a lot of time goofing around with Leigh Gallagher which was fun.
Anyhue, more of the same please!

I dont know who Walter bishop is.
Anyway that is what happened but after i realised it was a book it stayed that way.I might have been drinking at the time but that has nothing to do with it at all.
Twas a good time at the con. Lovely to meet Mr. Haa! Though I wish I had more time to look around the con, I spent (almost) all my time behind a desk.
I must admit I did wimp out in the bar, went to bed by midnight. Yes, yes, I know, but it was a 9 hour journey to get there. Next time I'm gonna make sure I take an extra day or two off and really enjoy it!
Yeah, the ol' hat was in a bit of a huff. Far too sunny for it. :D The folks there did a grand job orginising some cracking weather for the weekend.

It was a great time, mate! Hopefully you'll make it next year! Or to the HELLFECK! :)
PJ, sorry we didn't get to meet. I was interviewed by two of your mates, mind, so we *almost* met by proxy! Like Colin, I spent a lot of time behind a desk and shifted a good few copies of FLU. I did wander downstairs around 4ish to see if I could find you, but most people had packed up by then.
