another possible date for your diary

I've just been down to the Conway Hall and booked it up for Saturday June 21st. I figure we may as well have another bash at Interesting. No other news really at this point, just that's when it'll be. Tickets'll be on sale soon, but I've not lined up speakers or anything like that yet. I've been wracking my brain to try and think of clever and innovative ways we can 'move it on' but couldn't come up with any. So the basic plan is to do it exactly like last time.

If you'd like to speak, please let me know, or if you'd like to suggest someone else who should speak that'd be even better (but please remember no-one gets paid so there's no point suggesting anyone very famous or important.) You can get an idea of the complete lack of theme or purpose of the thing if you go here and scroll down through the whole story. And obviously if anyone would like to help in any way that'd be good too.

Here we go again.

Jenny Owen must speak.

[Sam Ismail]

YES!!

Can't Wait!!

[gemma]

Hurrah!

[Sam Ismail]

In my excitement I forgot to say that we must get Doddsy to speak

[mark Simpkins]

Yay! I will get a ticket this time round :)

[Paul H. Colman]

Jenny would be good, although once she starts talking it can be hard to stop her.

I'd also like to insist on Tom Lewis-Reynier, he was hilarious last time.

Good afternoon.

Glad to hear about Interesting 08. By the way I have just opened an agency-informal-blog/wiki called "anythingcanbeinteresting" [http://tuttopuoessereinteressante.blogspot.com]
(sorry it's in italian) an the first post was about the 08 conference...
see you there

[lauren]

bugger. i hate missing out on things. but if i was able to shoot across the world for the day, it'd be cool to hear iain tait and swiss miss (tina roth eisenberg) speak.

[Paul H. Colman]

Yes - Iain too.

[Northern]

Excellent. I think we should make John Dodds speak as well.
And Colman about marathon running or cage fighting.

[Tony]

This is a good question: Should the ‘hits’ from 2007 be cajoled into speaking again, or barred completely in the interest of doing something different?

Another question: Anything I can do to help? Apart from volunteering to speak. I don’t fancy that much …

[Rob Mortimer]

Brilliant.

I'd like to see Marcus speak, and Dodsy.

If for any reason you'd like me to speak again i'd be happy to, as long as I can make the date.

[Angus]

Count me in. Could we convince Jaime Diskin to speak about Neuroscience?

[Wil Freeborn]

thats great news, would love to go this time. I was a bit late last year.

[Angus]

Also, I'm happy to help in some way.

[Ruby]

Hullo.
I'd love to help out. And if you can't get that talkative Jenny Owen girl to talk, perhaps I could instead...
Looking forward to catching up.

[Lloyd Davis]

Just since I know there won't be much space in the programme, could we conflate a couple of these and have Jenny & Doddsy cagefighting?

And I suppose I'll have to get some new pants done.

[Tom]

I'm up for helping at the very least - anything to get out of paying for a ticket.

And I'd like Rhodri back on his saw.

[jenni]

I missed it last year but am determined to come to this one - I'd be delighted to help out in any way that's possible, although I'm not based in that London.

[Inga Clausen]

Very happy to help out!

[Tom Martin]

Might you consider webcasting some or all of the event for those of us across the pond that may or may not be able to make the trip?

Maybe through something like http://www.ustream.tv/

Would gladly help in trying to set it up. We could ask them to create some kind of dedicated space in exchange for the free promotion.

[Anjali Ramachandran]

You are back! I'd love to help out with Interesting 2008, so count me in!

[Ian Forrester]

Another year, another clash? Damm and I was looking forward to checking out interesting this year round.
