What a lovely day!
I had a great time at they Walk Among Us. Jon and his wife, Sabina, and the crew were wonderful hosts and looked after us all amazingly. It was also fab to see some friendly faces along. Obviously Andie Tong and Frazer Irving were there, also signing (and in Andie's case - doing the most amazing work next to me and putting me to shame! haha)....but we were joined by several wonderful people besides. From other comic-book massiiiiive posse members like Jamie McKelvie, Kieron Gillen, Antony Johnston and John Aggs....through pocasters like the Dork in your eye crew and friends, to very welcome drop-ins from lovely people like Sarah McIntyre, Lee 'budgie' Barnett and son Phil, and Gemma Cox. You're all huggable! Too many names to mention individually, haha.
We also met up with the awesome Paul and Kate later in the day for drinkies. Always a pleasure. ^_^
I got to meet fab new people and see some random faces that I talk to online, but don't get to see in person much....and I even met a ten year old girl who was so scarily talented she had painted a canvas already and brought it along!
A special mention: Also along for the ride was the wonderful Lisa Curtis (Lunameth) which meant so much to me as I know it can't have been the most interesting day for her, haha*hug* While she was there, along with a fellow doll-owner(another Emma, haha), she did some snappy camera work...because she's awesome. She's reponsible for the banner photo this entry, and she got this fab shot of my bookie.....oh, and me.... XD
This second shot, a fun group action shot, is by Sarah, who was also snappy with the camera and has already written up a write-up of her day - because she's insanely organised! haha...
So - a nice day. I'm looking forward to a few days at home now before Bristol next weekend (though not looking forward to the amount of work I have to fit into those few days)....LOL.
So - about 30 people out there now have the first copies of Much Ado About Nothing to be seen in public.....I hope you like it!
