haha yeah but not the posh literary tent because i’m to rock and roll for those ladies, i’m on in the comedy thing with my comedy pimp robin ince. and somehow i’ve got to get back from giving a posh science lecture in barcelona on saturday morning to get to latitude, so sunday and poss late sat…

should also be at big chill, green man, and maybe secret garden but that least likely. basically i’ve swapped being in a band for being a c-list public intellectual as my festy blag.

But you’re still doing the Latitude festival, right? Half the reason I bought a ticket…

Oops, think I may have inadvertently caused a little confusion. LCN, I was referring to the nature science blogging conference, not glasters. Unfortunately, I won’t be going to glasters.

Black Duck… would it not be better to set up next to them and send them negative vibes to counteract their good ones?

I’ve just finished Nick Davies’s book Flat Earth News, a brilliant analysis of how journalists (‘churnalists’) regurgitate each other’s writing, and much more. Buy it! (even better, buy it through Ben’s website)- I promise you won’t be disappointed.

What shall we say? Stone Cirle. Mid-day. Saturday?

I’m planning to come too. David and I are still somewhat dithering about making a blog out of our website, so it’ll be good to talk to people who know.

Me too. I am going to be setting up the Sceptics’ Field next to the Healing Fields. We can all sit around and not feel the vibes.

I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting any other bad-sciencers that make it. And all the other science bloggers that go too.

I’ll be at the Nature thing – it’ll be a chance to meet lots of weird people without needing so many electrons. They spoil the beer so.

You better get that “comedy classic” online: nobody will believe my story without evidence. Bloody skeptics being all skeptical about what happens at TAM. . . .
