Brighton Comic Expo 2005

Brighton was cold when this one occured. hell london was cold. I met up with LAG the Noggin
for the first time since brefly meeting him at the 2005 webcomix thing. he didn't remember me so
well. I arrived at the station I was to meet him, james Turner and Liz Greenfield about 2 hours
early and had hot chocolate whie I froze my bollocks off. trainride was quick and pleasant.
Sketching happened. The con was in a hotel on the seafront, it was all very flashy, but the room's
boosted body heat meant I was juggling my extra layers that had been so necessary at 5 AM
when we left. Suring this con, I dropped leaflets off the second floor, and paid for a guy in a
gorilla suit to do a dance, which I attempted to video but failed miserably. Totally worth it though.
