that's called being double booked.

At the last miniute I couldnt get along to the launch of the book, but i did catch the TV adaptation on Reporting Scotland which I guess all those at the lauch would have missed.

Here's some shots of the man himself...

I had a grand night. The book looks well impressive, Ronnie, and you did yersel proud with the talk. Great to see such a crowd, even if they did eat all the food before I got there....sob! My film (What the Bleep Do We Know?) later was really cool too, so much so that I'm *ahem* acquiring a copy now. Just a shame I couldn't fit in drinkies with the HG folks too.

Oh, look Graham...I'm early!

Likewise! Great night though. And thanks to B&W for the free wine!

Whens the West End launch again? Becoming a book launch groupie has become most appealing... :)
