As I mentioned in my previous message I'll have a table at the The Thing. My previous involvement was helping out Mr. Weebl on his table but this year he's not in residence, and I have a table of my own with Mr. Gould and Mr. Allen Smith. Other people I like who will be there are Mr. Allison, Ms. Beaton, Mr. Langridge, Mr. Turner,Ms. Greenfield, Mr. Rouse-Dean and Young Master Graham.
I like the diverse, scrappy nature of the Thing, which is well named in that it's not quite a festival, convention or village fete, but has its own cheeky charm. Serious profit is not really a consideration and personally I'd be pleased if I sell more than one copy of our comic, Cruel Gossip's Natural Disaster Fun Book. We'll also be selling my sister's fantastic Sugar Skull badges, which will probably do a lot better than my product and drive a wedge between us for all time.
It's really a chance to meet fans and like-minded creators, as well as coming into contact with creators who don't share your mindset at all and are a bit weird and scary. A lot of the tables sell crafty items made from Fimo or burnt matchsticks or whatever is found underneath the sofa, and that just makes it all the more interesting. Additionally this is going to be my first Thing where I can't have caffeine, so that will give the day an entirely new perspective, one that will possibly be me unconscious under the table by 12:30.
Anyway, I highly recommend it. See you there. Or not, if you don't attend.

By the way my anti-spam word was "Splarbib", and I've decided that is what you should name your first child.
Hello! Saw you at the thing, I liked the sugar skulls. I hope you managed to sell some other things too XD
