Last week we spent our time in London, we made the stupid decision (AGAIN) to travel down by night bus (for anyone thinking about it... don't do it! Trying to sleep in the confined space, unbearable heat, running to the nasty smelling toilet to be sick every few hours and battling to stay on your seat with the jerking is worth the extra money you pay for the train). But it was worth it when we got their....... at 6:20am.
First we had a book crit with Angus George at Rapier. After getting lost due to tourist information sending us and hour in the wrong direction we managed to find Rapier and a very patient Angus who had waited 2 hours for us. We must say, he has got to be one of the friendliest people we have ever met, he sat with us for an hour and gave us loads of handy tips about our work and presentation that we are following up, so thank you Angus.
We had just enough time to pop to our hostel have a nap and we were straight back out for UNITE III.
After being lucky enough to even get a place we were very excited to attend. After a warm welcome from Luke Wicker from YCC and a quick chat with Andy Peel we were ready for as many book crits as we could get.
We set up our work, spread out our business cards and put out a box of sweets to lure in potential book crits.
On the night we managed to get a book crit off Proximity, AIS and Weapon 7. We will be keeping in contact with the people we met as they all had great ideas, advice and were are great people so thank you!
