Title: Morning.
Post by: nwscotia on 13 February, 2017, 09:52:08 AM
I'm a 2000ad reader from way back, haven't read for about 20 years, but got back into comics about 7 years ago. I decided to join the forum after accidentally walking into the 40th anniversary celebration event, having been booked in for a works training weekend. After gawping at Dave gibbons and asking what the hell was going on to a couple of obvious fans, I hung about drinking overpriced beer and got the chance to meet some of the old time artists. I'd also like to say thanks and hi to the Scottish contingent that were there that frequent these boards.

I'm guessing you were in the bar area rather than the convention area, as tickets for that bit were sold out long ago?

Welcome back to the world of 2000AD, and to the forum!

Definitely in the bar area....total sheer luck that my company booked me in to the same hotel. I've got a photo of Carlos ezsquerra, Dave gibbons and someone else, will post  once I figure out how to embed pics
