I’d like to personally invite everyone living in or near London to our much-awaited free RI/Nature Network blogging event tomorrow night, already bigged up by our esteemed Editor but worth another mention. I’m already feeling seriously outclassed at the prospect of being on the same panel as Ed “He Writes Like A Veritable Angel” Yong and Ben “His Pseudoscience-Bashing Fury is Terrible To Behold” Goldacre, but very much looking forward to swapping ideas with a friendly audience, hopefully with a minimum of rotten veg propulsion and sceptical, House of Commons-style jeers and guffaws.
Anyway, we’d love to see you down at the Apple “It’s Really Quite Scarily White” Store on Regent’s Street from 7 PM tomorrow, and for a drink afterwards.
Jenny, you’ve got your tags in a twist.
Better tags than a certain item of underclothing!
Alas, however, the powers-that-be at NN seem not to have bestowed any way to edit them posthoc. (If I’m missing anything, please shout.) Actually, on closer inspection, I quite like the frame shift mutation I have inadvertently created…
Jenny, you should see an ‘edit tags’ link if you’re logged in. If not, I can fix ’em for you. But I like them all twisted too!
Looking forward to tomorrow – and glad to hear you’ll be up for a beer afterwards.
Yep! A glass of Rohnroyal please, on the rocks.
Grrr. I can’t make this event tomorrow (I’m doing a recording session with Fran Healy). Looks like a great line-up. I hope there will be more in future in a similar vein.
Dear God Jen, your tags have fused me, you and Ben Goldacre into some sort of monstrous freakish hybrid. We’ll have to do our talks from under the same extra-large coat.
It’s official: I’m definitely not editing the tags now! Glasses of Rohnroyal all around.
But seriously, I hope you all have a wonderful time. I’ll be raising a glass to you, from the land of Turkeys, Pigs and Earthquakes.
Thanks, Henry. Have you eaten your Signs and Portents omelette yet?
You’re at the Apple Store? In Regent Street?
We hatess you, we doess.
Weird venue. A little theater at the end, no closed off from the shop floor, and when you are speaking you look out over a vast sea of random elements behind the audience who’ve snuck in to check their email. Very distracting, like trying to sing folk music in a pub! But it was fun.
Jenny – you rocked! Well done for being so eloquent despite the store alarms going off every 10 minutes. I’ll blog about last night later on.
Jenny is teh rocking. I’m just jealous I’m missing all this.
Thanks Matt. I changed everything I planned to say once I saw what the space was like. So it was a complete ad lib… I think Ed and I were just happy that we didn’t accidentally say something that Ben Goldacre could pounce on in his witty but brutal fashion!
Signs and portents omeletee. Just one egg, very small, of doubtful provenance. So, no.
