My plan was to give people fliers at the London Festival, perhaps even get some sketches.
BUT it soon became clear that there was not room to move in the small convention hall, and the bar became much more alluring.

Erm, I was side-tracked your honour.

Actually, I did give a lot of the fliers out, but whether any new contributors will come forward is another matter.

On a brighter note, the London Festival was a great experience.

I hope that the positive response to the event allows for an even bigger show next year (not just in terms of size of venue, although that was my only grumble this year). As the traditional comic mart (literally a hundred yards away from the Holiday Inn) today did not seem as busy as usual. It is a shame that certain other organisations could not dovetail their events into what Kev F Sutherland laboured hard to set up on Saturday.
Mentioning no Maus signings.

Jonathan Ross was an absolute gem. And I intend to tell him so by the magic of old-fasioned mail - may have to deliver it by hand to the BBC though.

The Viz talk was not as well attended as I expected, but there were a fair number of people who only attended the con for them judging by what I overheard.

I've just thought of another grumble. Directed at the hotel or possibly gents with bladder problems. The flooding of the one toilet that was available in the function area is rather annoying. It was still out of action today.
