Chelsea bun

[camtarn]

I have arrived home, and am sitting here with a nice cup of tea, a chelsea bun, and a signed hardback copy of Anansi Boys. Failed to actually write this from the event, because by the time I got to the head of the queue, got my book signed (nice signature), chatted randomly about the Gaiman-blog LJ feed, and wandered out of the Roxy, it was twenty to ten and I needed to catch the ten o'clock train to be able to get back to Glasgow in time for my last train home (both of which I caught in plenty of time).

I took a few random photos in the Roxy and while wandering around Edinburgh, which I'll put up in a few minutes (once I get to a computer with a cardreader and image software

[edit] Was talking to a guy in the queue while I was writing my last post, and gave him my address. Got a comment from him this morning - his writeup of the event is rather more comprehensive than mine :)

Turns out my camera didn't cope too well with the dim lighting inside the Roxy. I did get a couple of quite nifty panoramas, but most of my photos were either blurred or too noisy.

Someone else online? Slightly more discreet than my laptop...

I also got photos of one of the dreaded Edinburgh traffic wardens, and of an intriguingly lit corridor above Princes' Mall.
