Comics 2003

Up early on Saturday morning and on the train to Bristol for the annual comics convention. ( How's it going, Comics 2003? Or, what I did at the convention. )

So that's that for another year. To be honest, I'm not sure I would go to Bristol if it wasn't for the fact that we need to advertise Caption there. There's generally only a very few interesting events/panels. Mostly it's just a big mart, which I can take or leave. I'm not really a collector of stuff so I don't need to buy back issues and I can buy tonnes and tonnes of nice small-press stuff at Caption in the summer. It's quite nice to see people, but there's not that much opportunity to sit around and chat, although if I'd made it along to the evening stuff I might have done more of that. Plus of course, now that we have to get somewhere to stay, it's a lot more pricey. Maybe next year I'll just leave it to the others.

Falling at the final hurdle

Damn it! I was doing so well. I think, though, that I may have got a cold. I'm slightly sniffly and bunged up and I've got a tickly cough. There's a small chance that it's just hay fever, I suppose. I'm finding it hard to even concentrate enough to do documentation.
