I was lucky enough to be in London when Kevin Davies talked about his career around Hitchhiker's Guide in Big Green Bookshop in Wood Green. The shop isn't really that big, but it was almost full of people. Kevin talked, showed pictures and videoclips and answered questions for about two hours. After that some of the people including Kevin ended up to a local pub. Very nice evening, and I had to leave much too early.

Tony, Jimmowatt and Fen were there from DAC-people.

I loaded a few photos to Flickr:

Tony is rightfully impressed by Gwen's lightning fast sign language skills!

But the person Gwen's talking to doesn't want to listen.

That's my son Liam, so you're probably right!

(He's a good lad, really.)

He's actually doing one of those things with string

Kevin just couldn't stop talking, and made everybody miserable. Soon after that photo, Tony threw his red wine on Kevin's face, wrestled him to the floor and all together we threw him out. And the same happened in the pub a little later. Too bad I couldn't get any photos of that...

That was no star goat...that was your wife.

Oops...I didn't mean that...please call me Eddie if it will help you relax.

Actually, Gwen was teaching his not-so-interested son how to make Gargleblasters. I just photoshopped the shaker away from the first version.

Looks like a lot of fun, wish I could have been there....

All I've got to say is that the Big Green Bookshop doesn't really look that big, or green... except the inside walls, I guess.
