Interesting times

November 12th, 2010

After suffering a severe bout of man-flu for the last couple of days, it seems like I’m perking up again. Which I’m grateful for, as tomorrow is Interesting North, a spin off of the popular Interesting events in London. It’s pretty simple really, a load of speakers are invited to talk on something interesting. That’s it. But that simple format, coupled with a fairly informal atmosphere should make for an inspiring and stimulating day, which any creative type should appreciate. I’m looking forward to having my brain cross wired in an interesting way.

If you happen to be there, please feel free to say hi; one of the main things I’m going for is not just to hear what the speakers have to say, but for the conversations that will no doubt be generated around them. You will find I look remarkably similar to the cartoon.
