I've just been down to the Conway Hall and booked it up for Saturday June 21st. I figure we may as well have another bash at Interesting. No other news really at this point, just that's when it'll be. Tickets'll be on sale soon, but I've not lined up speakers or anything like that yet. I've been wracking my brain to try and think of clever and innovative ways we can 'move it on' but couldn't come up with any. So the basic plan is to do it exactly like last time.
If you'd like to speak, please let me know, or if you'd like to suggest someone else who should speak that'd be even better (but please remember no-one gets paid so there's no point suggesting anyone very famous or important.) You can get an idea of the complete lack of theme or purpose of the thing if you go here and scroll down through the whole story. And obviously if anyone would like to help in any way that'd be good too.
Here we go again.
Jenny Owen must speak.

Hurrah!

In my excitement I forgot to say that we must get Doddsy to speak
Posted by: Sam Ismail | March 08, 2008 at 12:23 PM
Yay! I will get a ticket this time round :)

Jenny would be good, although once she starts talking it can be hard to stop her.
I'd also like to insist on Tom Lewis-Reynier, he was hilarious last time.
Good afternoon.

Glad to hear about Interesting 08. By the way I have just opened an agency-informal-blog/wiki called "anythingcanbeinteresting" [http://tuttopuoessereinteressante.blogspot.com]
(sorry it's in italian) an the first post was about the 08 conference...
see you there

bugger. i hate missing out on things. but if i was able to shoot across the world for the day, it'd be cool to hear iain tait and swiss miss (tina roth eisenberg) speak.
Posted by: lauren | March 09, 2008 at 11:54 AM
Yes - Iain too.
Posted by: Paul H. Colman | March 09, 2008 at 05:38 PM
Excellent. I think we should make John Dodds speak as well.
And Colman about marathon running or cage fighting.

This is a good question: Should the ‘hits’ from 2007 be cajoled into speaking again, or barred completely in the interest of doing something different?
Another question: Anything I can do to help? Apart from volunteering to speak. I don’t fancy that much …
Posted by: Tony | March 10, 2008 at 10:32 AM
Brilliant.
I'd like to see Marcus speak, and Dodsy.
If for any reason you'd like me to speak again i'd be happy to, as long as I can make the date.

Count me in. Could we convince Jaime Diskin to speak about Neuroscience?
Posted by: Angus | March 10, 2008 at 02:13 PM
thats great news, would love to go this time. I was a bit late last year.
Posted by: Wil Freeborn | March 10, 2008 at 02:50 PM
Also, I'm happy to help in some way.
Posted by: Angus | March 10, 2008 at 02:56 PM
Hullo.
I'd love to help out. And if you can't get that talkative Jenny Owen girl to talk, perhaps I could instead...
Looking forward to catching up.

Just since I know there won't be much space in the programme, could we conflate a couple of these and have Jenny & Doddsy cagefighting?
And I suppose I'll have to get some new pants done.
Posted by: Lloyd Davis | March 10, 2008 at 11:50 PM
I'm up for helping at the very least - anything to get out of paying for a ticket.
And I'd like Rhodri back on his saw.
Posted by: Tom | March 11, 2008 at 08:28 AM
I missed it last year but am determined to come to this one - I'd be delighted to help out in any way that's possible, although I'm not based in that London.
Posted by: jenni | March 12, 2008 at 10:43 AM
Very happy to help out!
Posted by: Inga Clausen | March 17, 2008 at 10:58 AM
Might you consider webcasting some or all of the event for those of us across the pond that may or may not be able to make the trip?
Maybe through something like http://www.ustream.tv/
Would gladly help in trying to set it up. We could ask them to create some kind of dedicated space in exchange for the free promotion.

You are back! I'd love to help out with Interesting 2008, so count me in!
Posted by: Anjali Ramachandran | April 13, 2008 at 08:30 PM
Another year, another clash? Damm and I was looking forward to checking out interesting this year round.
