difficult second interesting
If you look at the bottom of this post you'll see the link to eventbrite where you'll be able to buy Interesting2008 tickets. While stocks last. (And there are only 4 per person, just so it's fair.) You'll need a paypal account.
I will admit to some nervousness in putting these on sale. I think Interesting2007 was good because no-one knew what to expect. Expectations were low. They're higher this time and that alarms me.
So, before you buy your ticket, remember it's just going to be some random people talking about random stuff and you don't even know who it's going to be yet. There'll be no goodie bags, no tiny food on lovely plates, no KPIs and no 'take-aways'. It's highly likely that there'll be awkward pauses when something goes wrong and if any of it is useful in any way to your career then we'll have failed.
I'm also convinced that the rest of the success last year was due to the enthusiasm of the crowd, they/you made it work. So you're going to have to be in a good mood.
So, if your expectations are low, your hopes are high and your mood will be sunny on June 21st then go here to buy tickets. And I thank you most sincerely.
UPDATE: I'm afraid we're sold out. Thanks everyone. I'd better make something happen now.
Ticket bought. And this is exactly the kind of thing that *puts* me in a good mood, so we're off to a good start on that one.

I am happier than when I have bought the first copy of "Sandinista" arriving in Italy

Once again a wedding is getting it the way of me coming along. I hope you have a great day.

I really wish this wasn't the same week as Cannes! Although, points if you did that intentionally.

Damn damn damn damn damn. That's mid-summer in Finland. The family wouldn't be happy to have me away those days.
Best wishes for the event.

Russel, it's very exciting that you're doing it again. We promise we'll whoop and whoop until we can't whoop no more.

I think I missed out. Any chance you will release more tickets? Happy to sit on the floor!?

Hi,
I've managed to double book myself on 21st June and have 2 spare tickets at face value for whoever emails me first (thomas.miles@bt.com)
regards

Anybody got any spare tickets??? Last year was great fun and I want to come again.
Posted by: Sarah | April 28, 2008 at 10:40 AM
Same problem here... Anyone else with tickets who can't make it?
Russell, is there a waiting list for latecomers?
Cheers, f

I have bought all the tickets and then I have burned them. I ate a few.
Posted by: Tom | April 30, 2008 at 08:42 PM
Oh fudge.

Damn, already sold out! It'll teach me to keep up to date with my blog reading - and/or not go on holidays, given I was away when this was posted ;o)
