Possibly the tardiest con entry ever, but I've not been near a computer since Eastercon, which has been quite liberating.

Anyway. Great event. Only really went on Saturday, during which time I moderated a panel on SF as Protest Literature. Thanks to David Lloyd, John Clute, Gareth L Powell and Jon Courtenay Grimwood for making it a good experience. I had intended to just introduce them and sit back, but I've a niggling feeling I talked too much. Ah well, chalk it up to experience.

Met some top people, in no particular order: Nick Harkaway and his wunnerful wife (Barbelith in-joke alert) Clare; Chaz Brenchley; me agent John Jarrold; Tom Hunter and his Incredibly Tall SF Pals; my Immanion editor Donna Scott and her beau Neil; Eric Brown; Philip Palmer; Chris Beckett; Roy Gray; Tony Ballantyne; Ian Whates; Ramsey Campbell and his wife; Pete Crowther and his wife; all those on my panel; Ken McLeod; Juliet McKenna; Darren Nash; Mike Carey; Deborah J Miller; Charlie Stross; Mike Cobley and his Amazing Hotel Lint Sandwich... there were undoubtedly more but they probably came after the Black Sheep on draught had got the better of me, so apologies if I've missed anyone I spoke to/blethered at.
