Just a quick plug for the event I’m attending which is the reason for my trip to Sydney and then to Newcastle on Friday..
If you’re around tomorrow, Flutey is talking cartooning at 1.30.
On Friday at 3pm, there’s a session on Written Politics. Jane from Crikey is representing Crikey, but she’s trying to talk me into also representing Crikey! So I may be speaking – apparently the Chaser lads are on the same bill.
And on Saturday at 10am, Zoe and I are on a panel about the politics of blogs and the politics of blogging.
There are many, many other good things going on, with a particular focus on blogs and blogging. So go read the programme here and come say hi if you happen to be in Newcastle.
Ah, I was actually considering going up to Newcastle for that bloggers event and the zine fair, but left it all a little too late. Cheers!
It looks like there’s a lot of interesting stuff!
Mark:
I’m not busy just now ….. do you want someone to carry your bags??
Anyway, have a ton of fun.
You, flutey, Zoe .. yeah but anyone famous – or even good?
Like me – why didn’t they invite me?
Is it because I’m too old to go to the National YOUNG Writer’s Festival?
That’s it, isn’t it?
BASTARDS.
FXH:
Cheer up. “You’re only as old as the ….”
Whilst the LP blog was down, due to a bounced cheque, I have been the victim of identity theft on a grand scale. I have written to Ms Coonan and complained and my technical department is currently tracking down the culprit(s).
I don’t think I can adequately describe the sense of violation that occurs when one’s identity is stolen by idiots.
Sometimes things just go too far. As Sister Mary Potential used to say to me:
“FX, all the class likes a bit of fun. But there’s always that one person who has to take it that little bit too far – and spoil it for everyone”
– “Put your hand out and DON’T pull it away”
