Constitution Programme

My programme schedule for Constitution in Cambridge this weekend is as follows:

Friday, 7pm: War in SF and fantasy
War is all too often a backdrop in fiction, a quick and easy way of shaking up your characters and getting the plot going. How do you escape the cliches and address conflict realistically and sensitively? {Steph Swainston, David

When will you be heading to Cambridge?

[major_clanger]

I don't have a firm plan yet, although I clearly want to get there well in time to do my item at 7. Are you interested in meeting up and sharing a taxi from the station?

NB I believe there are off-peak fare restrictions on First Capital Connect trains northbound from Kings Cross, so it's best to take a train departing before 1630 if possible.

Not to mention the rail strike: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8175785.stm

Not directly affecting First Capital Connect out of KX, but of course it's likely to push more people onto them. Travelling early is definitely a good plan.

I'm so glad I turned down that Friday panel: not only was I not sure I'd make it, but next to you I'd have looked rather amateur.

Looks like I'll miss your panel for the third time...

[major_clanger]

Ah, I take it you're gophering or something similar at the time...?

[bugshaw]

I shall be at the book group item, and wonder if anyone else will make it...

[beamjockey]

At least work the ziggurat into the conversation somewhere!

[cairmen]

Are you planning on doing the law talk anywhere else? I really want to see it. Failing that, I'll just have to drag you out to the pub and get the executive summary...
