And baffled. And confused.<br /><br />But that maybe another tale for another time. But onwards and upwards.<br /><br />There has been some interest from a few quarters about this anthology.

Been a hectic day or so in Leeds. Did not intend on staying over and as a consequence flopped on the floor of a hotel room- not all that much sleep, and a miasma of socks and ass gas seemed to hang around at floor level. <div><br /></div><div>But, had a really good weekend - had a few adventures, few drinks and lots of fun. <div><br /></div><div>I managed to give a few flyers out for the "Brave, Brave Idiots" and if you've reported back here as a consequence, WELCOME!</div><div><br /></div><div>I'll try and explain the intention of the anthology using this very weekend, this actual Sunday evening, right<i> now</i> as an illustration.<br /><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uOF6NU_5dDU/Swm2lVPC1eI/AAAAAAAAAI4/OeYGd2h9Wx4/s320/Leeds+booty+is+the+best+booty.JPG" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407053580106651106" />Had such a good time at Thought Bubble and now, I can feel tomorrow morning creeping in around the peripheries as I type. I know that as I'm sat at my desk, in my office, with all of those people to call and problems to sort out; all of those brightly coloured post-it notes and my missing pens I'll get a flashback to Leeds - whether it be an attack of the guffaws when the "hobo-flash" walked past, or...I don't know - just talking to people who I have things in common with. It is damned good fun being in one of those convention rooms. It is something that I rarely experience at the day-job.</div><div><br /></div><div>I imagine over the coming blogs I will explain more, but as </div><div>my hangover has finally</div><div> gone it's probably a good time to retire into an actual bed.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I think I should boil the idea for this book down into a catchy phrase. I'll work on this. </div><div><br /></div><div>But for the timebeing, let me say that the anthology, when finished, is not intended to be a moan against working as a concept; I love to work, and if you're in the small press/alt-comics scene it will probably be the same. The day-job sometimes feels like the hobby, and the proper work starts when I get home. I think the main objection is the sacrifice of my enjoyment for the sake of paying the bills. </div><div><br /></div><div>I KNOW WHAT I WOULD RATHER BE DOING!</div><div><br /></div><div>later</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6059206641998458384-2472591789641343562?l=thebravebraveidiots.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ant Mercerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05059963930797624263noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059206641998458384.post-49732675847053121452009-11-21T00:19:00.000Z2009-11-21T00:27:30.076Z<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uOF6NU_5dDU/SwczpwczadI/AAAAAAAAAIw/rB1OYOo3NS4/s1600/blog+post.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uOF6NU_5dDU/SwczpwczadI/AAAAAAAAAIw/rB1OYOo3NS4/s320/blog+post.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406346670154934738" /></a><br /><br />You may have seen a flyer at Leeds and been directed here.<div><br /></div><div>I still have to cut the flyers in half that I will be handing around tomorrow.
