Waiting for my son to finish work...

Parked up and writing more of the Opus talk whilst waiting for my son to finish work... it is his birthday tomorrow so we are going for a drink before I return to Bath...

Today I wrote of the...

Photo copied issue on Billy McComb's coffee table in Hollywood...

Bill the Printer running off with his next door neighbours wife...

The scandal of the artists' "hotel"rooms at a British Ring IBM convention...

Watching a Scandinavian Star flicking through an issue of Opus containing a highly critical review of his work...

and so on... no doubt much will be edited out by the one who does the pictures!

Cripes... Busy, Busy, Busy...

Slaving away over the back issues of Opus noting down stuff that I had forgotten about (just reading an article from the first volume by Eugene Burger)... and making copious notes...

Getting calls from Portugal, phoning London, emailing New York... and fretting over how Chris and I can condense all this material down into the 18 minute talk at the EMC in July... and all this done from the back of a van in a field in middle England!

There will be some extra special news coming out very soon... you could follow it here or, better still, make sure EMC has your details and then you will be kept up to date on all aspects of this year's conference...

Work on EMC talk continues...

Chris and I are thrilled to be presenting a talk on Opus Magazine at EMC 2011 this July.

www.essentialmagicconference.com

We have been talking and talking about it for several months now and are at the stage of writing stuff down...

Going back through the pages of the magazine brings memories flooding back... there is so much stuff in there... so many stories... so little time...

The talk is 18 mins long so a lot will have to be left out!

Up at 8.20am this morning and at the laptop by 9.00am...

This is not normal...

Just remembered the sight of an international star of close up approaching our stand at FISM 88 furious about a review of a book of his we had published...

To know more youwill need to be there!
