Those directions of mine are really rough-and-ready, but that's how it was described to me fourteen years ago and I managed to find it, so it should be okay... I don't know the names of the roads, but if you're really stuck all the cabbies know Filthy's. And I suppose I was saying ten minutes because I know the way and I walk fast; it might be closer to fifteen. And I hope that tapas bar is still there, for your orientation! I haven't been to Filthy's for a little while. Enough disclaimers? Oh, and one more thing: my directions are turn LEFT if you come out of Kings Cross/St Pancras. If you're arriving by Kings Cross Thameslink you will need to turn right out of the station (and you'll get there faster).

We launched Jai Clare's book there in November and it's a great little venue. About fifteen minutes from the station sounds about right. Hope to come.

Alternatively, Google Maps will sort you out. I just tried to embed the URL, but it's too long. Just do a search, you'll find it.
Hope I can make it along - be nice to put faces to some of the names and email addresses!  _________________ "I have a fatal compulsion to find a kind of higher sense in things that make no sense at all."

London eh? Much better than Cambridge for me - less chance of falling asleep on a train and being stuck there, for a start...  _________________ Shaun C. Green

I've done that. When I lived in Stevenage - fell asleep on the train returning from London, and woke up in Cambridge at 3 a.m.

Clearly the city is to blame - it feeds on the latent narcolepsy of its victims...

Interzone has a facebook thing but I don't really know how to use it other than ignore "you've been bitten by a vampire" stuff (don't get it), so this might be a good time to ask if anybody wants to play with it on behalf of IZ? Good way to get a bit more involved in the magazine, and you could do what you liked, so you might enjoy it.

Booked hotel & flight, so hope to see quite a few of you there!
Aliette--
I certainly hope there will be more this year! Obviously we will discuss this at TTACon 9, and I am for one in the Summer.
I do know that the launch of Andrew Humphrey's Other Voices is in Norwich on March 1, and that it might be a joint launch with his novel Alison, according to the grapevine...

Further north than London and Cambridge? Pretty please?
