The 2009 Bristol Small Press Expo...Let's all song "Memories"

Just some old photos that might be of interest.  Please note that comic book people DO NOT mix with Small Pressers.  Small Pressers avoid comic book people at all costs. When they do appear under the same room eye-contact or speaking is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN!!

Small Press Expo 2006

 Left Karen Rubins and right Willi Hewes
 Above: dont care who is who but Roger Gibson (Author), Vince Danks (Illustrator)
 Above: hidden almost to the left is Jess Bradley-Bove.  Right is Sugar Glider publisher Daniel Clifford (I think)
 Above: Some very quiet young women who hardly said anything but had some nice things selling -I think they were Chinese?  So long ago now!!
 Above and below: very elegant surroundings for a Small Press event. No, I was not trading there as all the tables were 'fully booked' minutes after I announced the event.  Yeah.

 Above: Natty red sweater wearer is, I think, John Short (Rev. Cross etc)
 Above and below: The one thing I never understand is why Small Pressers will not freely chat or talk but tend to look away or only speak to their mates.  They are supposed to be selling books!
 Below: Sorry, the baseball cap wearer I know but can't remember his name (my mind and names...eeeh) standing guy is Dmitri aka Jimi Gherkin. Lovely fella.
