CHALK AND CHEESE
At the weekend, I ventured out of the house to go to LUC 176, a small press event held in Chalk Farm in North London. It was nice to get out after hibernating and working on the TRIPWIRE Annual but it has been exceptionally warm here. So I caught up with David Baillie, Dan Fish, Dan Lester, Leon Hewitt and a few other people at the show. It seemed to have a halfway decent turnout which was encouraging. It was organised by Oli Smith who used to put on the London Underground Comics thing at Camden market. We had an insane electrical storm as I was leaving Chalk Farm, where we got heavy rain, hail, thunder and lightning. In fact, the hail was so heavy that it sounded like there were golf balls hitting my car as I drove. So here are a selection of pics I took at LUC 176…

I don't know. It was fairly lowkey so you didn't miss that much. Are you coming to Brum in October?

You've deliberately only shown photos of me drinking Guinness to suggest that I spent the whole day drinking Guinness...

Good to catch up as always. The venue got flooded shortly after you left - they had to bolt the doors closed!

Ah it wasnt that low-key. Someone in the chains just not giving a fuck to spread the word. Its not easy y'know. Before long, Oli will be affecting a cockney accent, thieving apples from market stalls. These festivals dont run themselves. Its not Bristol or Birmingham with your hookers and your ride me sideways and
