(ps i have seen seven, will be eight tomorrow)
Well this seems to be the thread I use for news about this Pessoa book, so look: http://mcbaprize.org (the book is in the final five for a prize, which is very pleasing).
― Tim, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:41 (eight years ago)
Excellent, Tim!

Great news!
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 22:21 (eight years ago)
seconded - that's great!
― Fizzles, Tuesday, 20 June 2017 20:43 (eight years ago)
Thanks, it's particularly exciting because of the standard of some of the books which didn't make the final five, some of which blow my mind. It's very flattering indeed. Just booking our trip to Minneapolis for the gala evening!!

If there were to be another one of these in the near future I'd be quite keen to attend.

Missed this but that's great news Tim, congrats man!
The Soineko Paisaia one is very impressive as well.

Daniel - yes I'd like to think there will be one. Won't be in London so much during the week myself until September. Therefore just call one and whoever can come will.
Otherwise I'll try and get people together at the end of summer.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 July 2017 21:00 (eight years ago)
Thanks for the congrats all - I'm still a bit boggled that I get to go to a proper awards ceremony and do the whole nail-biting thing.
Daniel, I'd be happy to join you for pints, and that goes for the rest of the London ILB also obv.
― Tim, Monday, 3 July 2017 22:22 (eight years ago)
Cool! :) Maybe around the weekend of the 22nd/23rd?
― Daniel_Rf, Tuesday, 4 July 2017 12:29 (eight years ago)
Here begins the traditional FD.
Sadly, or happily, I won't be around that weekend (or the week after) because I'll be in Minneapolis for the awards ceremony mentioned above.
― Tim, Tuesday, 4 July 2017 12:34 (eight years ago)
Missed this - congratulations! That's fantastic
― woof, Tuesday, 4 July 2017 13:04 (eight years ago)
Hmm, most of August is booked up on my end. Perhaps best to wait for this end of Summer suggestion, definitley looking forward to it!
