Last night in Bristol

[charlie_cochrane]

We had an event for I Do Two. So much to say about it, so incoherent...

• Thanks to Bruin Fisher for organising it.
• Thanks to Richard at the Old Market Tavern for being such a great host.
• Thanks to rigby22 for being such a star doing the financial transactions and enjoying all the attention, hugs and kisses from gay men. (Oh the bears were lovely and a particular Frenchman (he says he's the only gay Frenchman in Bristol) was lovelier still. 
• Thanks to all who came along and talked, supported and bought (including josephine_myles - always a pleasure to meet people in real life!)
• We sold some books (always a good thing) and there's now a stock behind the bar so more still will sell.
• Promo is easier with two - Bruin kept talking up my books and I talked up his story. So much easier than trying to find a way of saying 'Aren't my books great?' without cringing.

Those bears sure know how to hug, don't they?!

It was lovely to meet you too, Charlie. I don't feel quite so odd now I've met another woman writing gay fiction!

Is the May event going to be in the evening as well? I'd love to come along, but have a gig to go to that night.

Oh yes, and thanks for the drink :D

There are plenty of us girls about - too far spread to meet up that often, though.

I think the May event is an evening one but perhaps best to ask Bruin (he's on Facebook).

Thank Rochard behind the bar for the drink - he wouldn't let me pay off my tab.

May 22nd, Old Market Tavern, Bristol 7pm to 11pm

Yes it's another evening event. Neil Plakcy is coming, and he's attending a conference and then coming afterwards.
