Ballardian is as Ballardian does; dunes edging into car-parks, a building labelled 'space city' that could either have been an arcade or a museum of space-vehicle control computers, a semi-derelict eco-apartment complex and a bar named 'The Dunes' that was more suburban swingers than swinging hangout.
The choice rumour on Saturday even was that people had been shagging in the Tardis. You can do your own jokes.
I remember the 'Go Pontinental!' adverts. So, it seems, do parts of the infrastructure.
The media bits were pretty much exactly like being at one of the Bierkeller-based g*th endurance tests. (I note that someone's trying that again at The Fleece. Why do people think that sort of thing's a good idea?)
Do not watch 'Moon' while minding a hangover and feeling a bit fragile. I mean, good film and all, but Jayzus.
The lit bits were jolly good. Real ale required, mind.
Now to see if I can buy a pile of books from a thing which is neither Forbidding Prices or Those Tossbags Amazon.
