I gather you, me and Fiona Blamey from Prompt are going to be in the blogger bear pit at the event……
Stephen
Yep, so the rumour goes. I’m going to write mine early as I plan on having more than a couple.
Fiona Blamey
I look forward to meeting you, Stephen. As a non-drinker I’m planning to record the shenanigans as attendees become steadily the worse for wear, hee hee…the documentary power of social media…
