Sitting at Victoria station (with a tea and a bun, but then that's pretty much a given) I'm starting to unwind a little. As much as I love travelling by train but the worry of missing connections and not remembering stuff only really wears off when London transport's involvement is at an end.
This weekend the Doctor Geof stall is manifesting at the Brighton steampunk weekend. Organised by Allegra and the steampunk magazine it seems to be in a wee theatre behind a pub and should be a hoot: a couple of days talking rubbish with old friends and new friends and plotting evil in suitable surroundings can't be a bad thing.

On the real science front, just in case you fancied a little bit, we're wrapping up the glasses science experiment this weekend (data is great but analysis is also handy) so if you fancy a bit of last minute recommendation you have until midnight this Sunday.

Ah, a week later and I'm almost on top of my work again. All I can really say is MCM Expo was a damned (hehehe, still training this phone to my vocabulary, rather endearingly it just replaced damned with darned) good laugh.
"Why" say you? Well asked there! Well apart from:
– being wedged between Rich Johnston on my left and to my right Tony Lee and his art monkey Dan (not in a sexy way if I recall correctly) and within hollering distance of Chamonkee and Naniiebim;
– the lovely friendly crowd who often shared my liking for tea and smuttery;
– the charming comics creators who also shared my liking of tea and smuttery;
– mojitos;
– Alex;
– Templesmith's squid-girls;
– Letraset;
– blah.
Laters,

Busy times, issue 11 is out, Bristol Expo was last weekend, London MCM expo is this one coming. Am i ready for it? AHAHA! nards.
Yeah, perhaps a brief review of events is in order.
Wednesday last week i collected the new issue 11 ‘the brown issue’ from the printers in york. It’s so pretty! Woo! Now the process of “making everyone have comics” can begin! Okay so maybe putting them for sale in the webshop would be an important step (shhh)
Anyhoo.
Last weekend was the Bristol Small-press Comic Expo, and after much frantic doing stuff me, Clare, Gareth (Mavis had a bad case of lurg and had to remain very still in Coventry) and a big stack of comics and posters and tiny “first tea company” ID cards rolled in to Bristol at about half ten on friday night and went to Sarah and Vicky’s to crash. And then stayed up ’til the wee small hours drinking tea and wine and chatting like we haven’t seen each other in about a year. If this shows anything it’s that Sarah and Vicky are lovely and that selling comics requires much less concentration than operating heavy machinery.
The expo was mighty fun: I caught up with people, sold out of one of me poster designs, ate Chamonkee’s sandwiches, picked up a copy of nanniebim’s latest mephistos, and enlisted far too many civilians into a fictional tea-related fighting force. Win! Clearly i now have to draw even more tea-related stuff but hey, it’s almost like i enjoy it.
stuff me or C and G picked up or jwas just plain lovely:
This coming weekend is the MCM expo in London if you fancy dropping round to say hello. Stuff is printed, bags are being packed, and yet more ranks have been added to the first tea company. I’ve got me 2 tables – 33 and 34 on the maps below (not 32-34, which was a typo of almost terrifying awesomeness … ) and this time I’m aiming to be awake and drawing and everything!
