Swamp Planet Christmas this Thursday!

I'm doing a wee reading at this on Thursday, it's at the Anthony Burgess Foundation here in Manchester, 6.30 to 8pm. For your aural delectation I shall be reading aloud a William Gibson Christmas tale! There will be mulled drinks, random present, and an Alien Santa. If you're about come down - more details are on the Facebook event page. Thanks to Bren O'Callaghan for asking me!

SANTA HAT DAY

*EDIT* I wasn't going to post this today but then I realised it was Santa hat day so here it is:



Last Thursday I dressed up as Santa for the Che Camille Christmas party, which was fun if a bit tiring. They had a grotto and an elf all done up for me, and various people came over during the evening to sit on my knee and have their photo taken. I believe some of the ladies even found Santa oddly attractive! Those photos aren't online yet, but there's a review of the evening over at Style Scanner:
