This Weekend in London

I couldn't make it to the Clarke Awards, unfortunately, because I was exhausted, and because that would have been four days in London out of five, since I went into town for dinner yesterday, starting in a rather wonderful club at the top of the Centre Point building.  Handy, I thought. Lovely views.  I'd popped in to Forbidden Planet and Orbital Comics earlier, and got the new Moore/Reppion Sherlock Holmes first issue and the fourth collection of Queen and Country.  A pleasure to hear the girls at the till in Orbital chatting about Dave Sim.  When my wife went in to their manga store once, the staff ended up singing the Keroro theme at her.  They must hire for fannishness.  Danie in FP told me she had a guitar out the back, and I only could only back away, having flashbacks to my RockBand experience.  

Anyway, this weekend, I'm going to be in London twice, firstly at 2.30pm on Saturday, at the Apollo West End cinema on Lower Regent Street, to talk about comics on a panel with Bryan Talbot, amongst others, as part of the Sci-Fi London Film Festival:


And then again the next day, to take part in their quiz.  This year, my agent has organised a team of superbrains to take on all comers, with a post-eschaton reality link to the mind of Arthur C. Clarke.  Or maybe just me and Simon Gilmartin, let's see how it goes.  Anyhow, if you come along to either, do say hello.  Cheerio.
