Live Singularity-esque sf writing workshop in London tomorrow night

Tomorrow (Thursday) night, I'm appearing on stage in London with my fellow sf writers Gwyneth Jones, Ian Watson and Matthew de Abaitua for an odd live event called "The BAD IDEA Butcher's Shop: FUTURE HUMAN." Here's the pitch:

The Butcher's Shop is a unique writers' workshop and theatrical experience. Hosted by BAD IDEA's editors at the Old Operating Theatre Museum in London, short stories submitted by guests are dissected, chopped up, and improved through an intensive process of live editing and debate.

It's £12 to attend, and attendees are given free gin (!), and it runs 7pm - 9pm at the Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret, 9a St. Thomas's St., London SE1 9RY.

Hope to see you!

"Singularity-esque sf"

I hear that, if you say that in a mirrored room 3 times, Vernor Vinge appears and uplifts you.

And I hear that if you say it just once (especially in the presence of hallucinogens), a rational, discerning human-being loses his frontal lobe permanently.

There's virtually nothing I wouldn't give to be able to attend, no pun intended.

Went along after seeing this post, and it was a lot of fun, though the hosts weren't that used to the high-brow dealing with a hard-core SF/boing boing type audience! Thanks for the post, Cory, it was a great night.
