On the Jubilee weekend, when much of the country was celebrating Royal nonsense, some of us were in a field in Hertfordshire for the Wildwords Festival. I'd been very kindly invited by Emma Byrne to record a live episode of Comic Cuts The Panel Show there, and that's precisely what we did. The first episode in nearly a year, with guests Jeevani Charika and Alan Snow, is here, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As if that wasn't enough, on Friday evening I took part in an enjoyable live role-playing games event with the RPGeeks, and on Saturday morning gave a Comic Art Masterclass. All of these events taking place in marquees, battling occasionally with the wind, it was a highly enjoyable weekend. I think Emma would have liked more people to be there, but this event having been planned long before the Jubilee weekend events were announced can't have helped attendance. The fact that we clashed with the Hay On Wye festival, only the biggest literary festival in the country, will have contributed. However, it was a very well organised event, which it would be good to see happen in the future. And if I'm invited again I hope I'll be able to go.
