On Thursday 25th I'm on a panel with Neil Forsyth (Guilt, The Gold) Really looking forward to this....I think it might be full but you might be able to register for the online version if you fancy it.

This one is sold out too but there's a waiting list you can join. Eventbrite events often sell out then folk don't always turn up on the night, so it's definitely worth doing

More sleep beforehand would have been optimal, but insomnia bows to no woman.
