Happy Bank Holiday!


I hope yours is more eventful than mine as I stayed in last night, as I did last bank holiday too. Shite.

Anyway, this Saturday and Sunday sees Manchester Comic Con at Bowlers in Trafford Park. Expect big stars like Baywatch's Erika Eleniak (Also from Under Seige), Brande Roderick and Angelica Bridges. Also dropping in: Police Academy's Steve Guttenberg and other cast members, Gremlin's Zach Gallighan and other cast members, Paul Blake, Greedo from Star Wars and a few of his screen cohorts, plus loads of giant set builds. I can't wait. No meetups that I'm aware of link in to this.

Saturday night sees a big meetup in Tusk with Megamix. I might drop in and see if people can be coerced into a late one as...

Saturday night / Sunday morning, 4am, sees UK heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua take on Andy Ruiz Jr a fat bastard nobody sponsored by Snickers. What an insurmountable challenge for Joshua. Let's hope the Brit has enough gas in the tank. No meetups for this as yet although there will probably be people in Genting watching it. Dive will also be showing it.

If you don't end up staying up for the boxing, or you have an unusual sleep pattern, Manchester Minimalists are having brunch in Mackie Mayor, the independent food court in the Northern Quarter. Support a local business, get some fresh hot food, and discuss all things minimalism from 11am.
