I'm not planning on going to this season of events but thought someone round here might be interested.

I might actually check the online-offline afternoon out if I've got enough cash. Partly because it just sounds interesting but also because GM neglected it and blew it off when I heard him talk and it's really quite an interesting subject and really the Internet is just as consumptive as paper. Blah blah blah... yes.

I will be there - the range of guests Gravett has lined up is quite impressive... Chris Ware will be interesting

sounds good, might be passing through the capital a week thursday (the 3rd I believe) and may pop along to the ICA. Sleaze any idea what's on that day, or if you're about yourself how about meeting up there?

I'm up for a meet mr swish but I'm not sure there actually is a talk on that day - although the exhibition and stuff should still be on - either way new comics will be out that day as well if you are up for it.

I myself am well up for the ICA triple-play of Chris Ware (Jimmy Corrigan)Wednesday, Joe Sacco (he of "Palestine") Thursday and Sophie Crumb (R. Crumb and Aline Kominsky-Crumb's Daughter) Friday.

That's next week, I believe...

I wouldn't mind going along to Sophie Crumb but very much doubt that I'll be able to. Shall wait and see!

I can do a wander around an exhibition, I'm dead civilised me

. And I need to catch up on my titles as brief work has not given me the time to go purchase.

Will pm you my mobile number and see if we can sort something out mate.
