Things you need to remember if you're coming to Interesting:
1. It Might Not Be Very Good
Well, maybe it will be, all the people lined up to entertain you are brilliant and they're working hard to do really interesting things but, let's face it, we're being rather ambitious with limited experience, it might all be a bit of a damp squib.
2. Bring Your Own Mug
Remember what happened last time? Everyone who didn't Bring Their Own Mug was asked to stand up and was roundly booed by everyone else. Don't let that happen to you.
3. Bring Pens
I'm sure you always travel with a pen anyway but you should pay extra attention to that this time. A big thick pen might be useful.
4. Maybe Bring A Power Lead/Extension?
This isn't compulsory but I'm suddenly conscious that we're going to be plugging a lot more things in than usual. If you happened to pass an extension on your way out of the house and you were to bring it along so we could borrow it that'd be great. (Remember to write your name on it.)
5. We're Not Providing Lunch
We're in Central London. There are cafes.
6. Get There For 10. Leave By 4
We're going to be there from 9, if you could come along early and help get things ready that'd be great.
7. Previous Speakers Get In Free
This is the poison pill at the heart of the self-defeating Interesting business model. If you've spoken at Interesting before please come along, we'd love to see you. The security operatives have already memorised your gait and facial characteristics and will wave you through with only a mild burst of radiation.
8. You Already Have Your Ticket
You will have had an email from eventbrite of a pdf of your ticket. Print that and bring it along. If you haven't got it check that other email account you've forgotten about that you use for eventbrite.
9. Exclamation Mark!
That all seemed a bit down didn't it? So I'm ending with an exclamation mark. Exciting!
