Off to d.Construct

Tomorrow I am off down past "that London" to a place called Brighton for the d.Construct conference that is taking place on Friday. I am going down the day before as there is no way to actually get to Brighton for 9:30am if you live anywhere past Watford.

For anybody reading in London, Where I live is past Watford. Imagine that, further north than Watford!

I believe my esteemed colleague, and partner in this trip, Patrick H. Lauke said that he caught a glimpse of a map in London when we were attending @Media 2005 and all it said about the north of England is "Here be Dragons"

Some facts about Brighton:
  • Its a long way away (From here evidently)
  • Fatboy Slim lives there
  • Many scenes for cult film Quadrophenia, depicting the Mods and Rockers clashes of the 1960s, were filmed in the city. (Malarkey should like it then)
  • Swedish super group Abba won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest in the Brighton Dome with the song Waterloo.
  • For some reason 60% of all the UK's web gurus live there
Joking aside though I am really looking forward to it as the lineup is pretty damn good.
Stay tuned for a full report when I return...
