Becky Hogge of the Open Rights Group sez,
We’ve had about half a dozen returns for tonight’s “Piracy vs Obscurity” event at the Crypt on the Green in Clerkenwell, London, UK - the first date on Neil's UK tour and a special Open Rights Group benefit gig. If you’re a Neil Gaiman fan, and you’d like to attend, email info [AT] openrightsgroup [DOT] org and we’ll try and squeeze you in.

Tickets are £10 (or £5 for ORG supporters) payable in cash on the door. In return you’ll get to hear ORG's illustrious patron talk about piracy from the perspective of the creator, you’ll get to quiz him on his views and work, and you’ll even get the chance to win a copy of his new title The Graveyard Book.

Date: Today!
Time: 1900 for 1930 Place: The Crypt on the Green, St James Church, Clerkenwell, Clerkenwell Close, London EC1R 0EA, UK
Tax: £10 on the door, or £5 for ORG supporters (but NB email info [AT] openrightsgroup [DOT] org to be sure to get your name on the list!)

Come see Neil Gaiman talk in London tonight (Thanks, Becky!)

Thanks very much to boingboing for letting the community know about the spare tickets. Mission accomplished: we're now totally sold out again.

Anyone not lucky enough to have secured a place for tonight, placate yourselves with the knowledge that an audio recording of the event will be available just as soon as we can afterwards, on the ORG blog.

I've been seeing several posts concerning Neil Gaiman on BB recently. I always thought, "that name is so familiar!" I found out why last night while looking for a book to reread (always running out of books). I have the book he wrote with Terry Pratchett, Good Omens. This is a very good book - if you haven't read it - go buy it and read it now.
