I'll be putting in an appearance at Constitution this weekend. I'll be participating in the NewCon Press panel, 11am Sunday, at Murray Edwards College, Cambridge. Possibly reading from my short story, "The Great Gig in the Sky", from the anthology Subterfuge, certainly talking a little about it. Come and say hello if you see me!

I am amused to note that New Hall, sorry M-E, haven't got round to changing their domain name yet... Shame, NewCon@NewHall had a certain ring to it. Never mind, have fun!

Hah, yes, I bet sorting all that out is a complete nightmare!

I imagine it's amazing how much of that sort of logistical headache one finds one can put up with for 30 million quid. I did derive a bit of sardonic amusement, after the news of the name change came out, from speculating on how much filthy lucre one would have to dispense to get some of the older foundations to change theirs, and what to. What price Trinity becoming, oh I don't know, Procter & Gamble College? Or Kings' Jeremy Clarkson Hall?...

Hah. Sharon Osbourne and Caius College.

It's sad that it sounds as if it's named for the man 'Murray Edwards'.

The Canadian billionaire? A/c Wikipedia, he's already got the Business School at Saskatchewan named after him. It does seem a bit unfortunate to appear to have got a Cambridge college as well for free, I agree...

Oh, I hadn't even realised he existed. That's even more unfortunate.

I'll be at the great gig at Cherry Hinton Hall this weekend so won't be able to stroll round the corner to say hello, but all the best for the panel.

Hope you enjoy yourself. And happy belated birthday! Did you have a good day?

Thank you! I did have a good day, especially as it ended with my guitar group annual barbecue.
