Two word. Oh fu...... I forgot it was on. Guess I won't be going. Wah!

The past two times i went i only decided to go the day before, however this was a bit expensive so i better leave it!

So a big thumbs up from this forum then? I'll be there in the bar, but frankly I have no idea how everybody hears about it these days. Once upon a time I used to put ads in Comics International, knowing every comic fan would see it there, and plugged in the local media to bring in the kids and families. And we had the Yahoogroup to keep everyone in touch.

Now there's no CI, and looking at the comics forums I lurk on there's been hardly any mention of Bristol. I hope I'm not the only person there.

Look at their website Kev. Loads of guests and tickets have sold out, so I think Mike knows what he's doing.

Sorry, you're right it certainly seems to be as full of pros as ever. I was wondering where one hears about it and where people talk about it in fevered anticipation? Clearly the big names still get their invites (though not, blub blub, me), and there was a good piece about it in Venue the local listings magazine. Maybe I'm just bemoaning the loss of Comics International or something?

See you there tonight (or possibly Saturday, I'm in two minds about whether to bother with tonight).
