'I got love from London to Leeds'- Kano

Hello hello,

So I went to Leeds yesterday ( 5 in the morn) for the 2nd Leeds Alternative Comics Fair organised by Gareth Brookes http://www.appallingnonsense.co.uk/ and Steve Tillotson ( http://www.banalpig.com/blog/). I didn't get a new comic printed in time for various reasons, so I just had a poor old 'contagious 1 and 2' , photocopied at Rymans, who didn't go down very well at all! I'm pretty new to this game and I felt quite shy around the shinier publications and drank my pints too quickly as a result and did a hard sell- har. Then I zoned out a bit...

Hope I wasn't TOOO whiney, I didn't even look around properly, felt a bit like a fish out of water. BUT I did meet some awesome people- check out these http://www.reetcomic.co.uk/- awesome illustrations http://magicbeanscomics.blogspot.com/ - haha, 'Space Dracula' http://www.jackfallows.com/( haven't read this yet, nice man) and others who i don't have web addresses for. Everybody was SO NICE :) and I got some helpful tips. Got to keep on keeping on yo. Got some nooo idearss.

Anyway, it was a reet good event so thanks to Gareth and Steve and sorry for being odd.

4. Don't be a girl.

5. Don't be a young girl.

6.Don't talk about how hard it is being a girl if you must insist on being a girl. Or else use it as a novelty.

8. Don't admit that you dislike superhero comics.

9. Don't tell your job you can't come in extra as you're busy 'working on your self published comics'.

10. Don't bother.
