Steve Meretzky event next week - venue wanted

| | Comments (7) | TrackBacks (0)

Due to the BAFTA-nomination of the BBC's new version of the Hitchhiker's text adventure (as updated by Sean, Shim and Rod Lord), the guy who co-created the original game is coming to town next week.

We think it'd be fab if we could get him in conversation publically, you know, giving a talk about the games he's worked on (such as the legendary Planetfall and Leather Goddesses of Phobos), the history of Infocom, his work at WorldWinner and all that.

Except:

  1. We need to find a decent central London talk venue for 100-or-so people
  2. Once we have that venue, we need to announce it

The most suitable date for this is Thursday 3rd March. (There is a small but definite chance that it may be Tuesday 1st instead, but for now, it's the Thursday we're working on.) Obviously, final details will be posted here once I have them.

Can you help? Let us know.

UPDATE: All sorted. Big thanks to James Wallis for the venue suggestion and James Cronin for booking it!

Try Conway Hall on Red Lion Square -- a traditional venue for off-kilter events. Hire has to be paid for but it's probably the cheapest venue in central London AND they seem to have the date available. I've organised events there in the past and they're a pleasure to work with.
