Next weekend, all three of us — Gareth, Frederik and myself — will be in London at Goldsmiths University, participating in this year’s AdventureX conference.


That’s right, we’ll be alongside greats such as Charles Cecil, Dave Gilbert, Theodore Waern, Richard Cobbett, Rhianna Pratchett, and — lest we forget — Natalie “Resulka” Juhasz, one of the few people we know who can outdo us when it comes to filthy jokes.


We are all terribly excited, since we’ve never gone before. So we thought we’d make a very big deal out of it by recording a podcast show before and after the event, and making a documentary-style video at the event itself.


This is the first of those shows — as chronology dictates, the “pre-event” show — wherein we try not to talk politics or Toblerone, but instead look over the schedule of speakers and exhibitors, and wax longingly about how we think it’s all going to go down.


Seriously. Don’t mention the Toblerone.

A bit rambly, of course, because we didn’t really plan to talk about anything other than that. I mean, that’s literally the brief we gave each other: “Let’s just talk about what we anticipate will happen.” Somehow, we still managed to get around 45 minutes out of it.

Or, if you prefer to use only your ears, the audio version is at the bottom of this post.


If you happen to be in London next weekend (19th/20th November), do consider dropping by and saying hello! It’s free to attend the event. There’s details on their website: AdventurExpo.org … maybe it’s AdventureXpo.org? Oh, I see. That’s probably why we don’t do capital letters in URLs. Anyway, it’s over here: http://adventurexpo.org


We’ll see you on the other side when we do our “post-event” show — almost called it the “post-coital” show — and, hopefully not too long after the event, our special “three dumbasses at a convention” documentary on YouTube. Cheers!


Never forget.
