Hi kids.
This weekend I went to Bristol Comic Expo, a fun gathering of biggish industry names, trade shops and small press comics and or publications. In a familiar style, I shall break it pon down into Pros & Cons for easy reading...
Pros
• Meeting and having a chat with some of the name comic guys, Mike Carey in particular (one of DC/Vertigo's top writers). Told him I liked his stuff, he gave me a shitload of freebies. I also had a smoke outside with Colin MacNeil, who I liked in the early 90s.
• Arkid selling a shitload of stuff there. Banal Pig II is available now, watch out for it coming up on ditcb.co.uk., or to shamelessy order one, shout steve@ditcb.co.uk, for the amazing price of £3 pounds, which may or may not include P&P.
• I picked up some good stuff, TPBs on the cheap, some old school spidey/Hulk comics, which seem to be a goldmine of comedy for using on future flyers.
• Fully working R2-D2
• Saturday nights curry. A lamb Asari, and man was that a tasty meal. Cheap too.
Cons
• Comic fans, fucking wash more you set of smelly bastards. The Paul could not abide the funk at certain points of the day.
• All you kids out there with hopes and dreams of being picked up from your shitty 10 minutes to draw and write 'autobiographical' comics, give up. This goes for all the dogshit Manga imitation stuff. Only japanese folk who put endless hours a week into that stuff can do it, and there's absolute GALLONS of the fucking stuff, we don't need you doing it as well with your ^_^ shite. Look at the Tokyopop stand, it has more titles than anyone else, that should tell you something, and why your £4 12 page pap isnt selling to anyone.
• Me not taking anything with me to sign. Durr
The only other thing I can think of is Colin Baker off Dr Who looks rough these days.
Stay Frosty!

This isn't as bad as it was last time. I have the prospect of an interview in the next few days, if not, freelancing to sort me out. Cheque came from old work today, and they've ripped me off for around £110, which i'm ringing about tomorrow.
As if to prove a point, after sorting some samples/web work out on Monday, I went down to the living room to watch TV while I ate my dinner. The Man who would be King had just started on C4. Fucking get in, Connery/Caine goodness at 1pm in the afternoon.
Also, Anonymous person I went to school with from post below, ID yourscen.
Tomorrow: Gig! I fucking rock.

| The Leeds Festival Saturday: Pros & Cons |
[28 Aug 2005|01:27pm] |
Hi kids and welcome to another of my heartfelt reviews of something, today being the Saturday line up of the Leeds Festival 2005. Hold on, here we go!
Pros:
The Pixies. This is what I paid my 67 quid to see. They're better live than they are on record.
Queens of the Stone Age: RAWK!
Graham Coxon: Not really heard any of hhis stuff before, but I liked it.
Cons:
We missed the Wedding Present and DFA 1979. Oh well.
5 quid for the return on the shuttle service out to Bramham Park. It was free when we went in 2002, as long as you showed your ticket.
The only choice of drink was Carling or Cider. I went with Cider, even though I hate it. But not as much as Carling. They should step the fuck off sponsoring everything. I don't know what you were supposed to sup if you were a bitter drinker.
Prices of things. But you knew that.
Miscellaneous
Oh you crazy kids these days. I swear down, it was a law there for every 3rd girl to have a lip piercing, every second girl a shitty tattoo, and everyone else a combination of both. I might go into the Lip ring industry in Leeds, because it sure is booming.
That Irish guy off MTV is a fucking prick.
People are generally Ok though, letting us check out the timetable necklace things as I didn't want to pay 7 quid(!) for one.
Ha ha we were in the tent when Fightstar came on, but we didn't know who it was. We left.
The Pixies are now in my top 5 of anything ever. Fucking great show.

[27 Aug 2005|11:05am] |
Being back up at home this weekend for the Leeds Festival, I went to the pub where I was a regular for years upon my arrival. A lass I went to school with and after worked behind a bar with, Sarah works there now. She's the same age as me (28) but looks about 40. Tallking to her depressed me, because she's the perfect example of someone who knows she's trapped in a shitty world she'll never get out of, no matter how much she wants to.
Its not difficult. All you need is the right attitude, but thats what Morley'll do to you.

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie/book/fictional character reminds me of you.
3. I'll pick a substance to wrestle with you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me. Or at least me.
5. I'll tell you my favorite memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal or plant you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.

saturday night, housemate had a few mates around, i'd gone to bed, funny cunts thought it was funny to keep waking us up banging pots outside my bedroom. the 3rd time i went downstairs to say shut the fuck up, i lost it and went for one of them. smacked him twice, housemate got between and he fucking slotted me over the top of his shoulder - off to a+e, 5 stitches in my forehead, all day yesterday seeing an eye doctor, surgery to close up my split eyelid this morning, which now hurts like a motherfucker, and also means im one eyed for a few days
