    Going away Picklers get-together


    by Sunny on 29th August, 2008 at 5:09 AM    

    In about 3 weeks time I’ll be going away for a long trip. The trip will be between 4-6 weeks and I’ll explain more later what I plan to do. It’s a bit crazy but let’s see if it works out. And no, I’m not going to the US to work on the Obama campaign, though if I get back early enough I do plan to do that too.

    Anyway, so like last time, a few of us writers here are meeting on 6th Sept (afternoon) in central London. Next Saturday. This is a different kind of a meetup since I’ll be bringing a ton of books & CDs with me to give away (I have strong Buddhist tendencies). Hence, the theme of the meet-up is to bring at least one book that you wouldn’t mind trading away and gain others. If you’re interested in joining us, mail me. To those who’ve come before – it will be at the same venue.

      We can bring non-political books, right?

      This is going to be a challenge. I am bringing just the one book, a Taschen one on Chagall. If I get no takers, I am going to sell the darn thing on Amazon.

      More books may be brought if I can arsed to take everything out of the cupboard!

      yeah yeah, just bring whatever books you like. More than half my books are non-political anyway.

      There are books written about things other than politics?! :D

      Er, any books going for free?

      Sunny, you know that bike you had? Are you going on a long bike ride?

      Just popped by to say Hi.

      Did you get all your Visa’s sorted out then Sunny?
      Book sharing is a great idea! count me in for this…

      Let’s hope there won’t be any more Latin American-tinged extravaganzas taking place on the green this time though?

    8. Sunny — on 2nd September, 2008 at 4:45 AM  

      All my books will be free!

      Nyrone – yup!
