Multimedia advocacy fair

Things are probably about to get hectic for me: yesterday I was over at UEL, where they were holding a fair showcasing their work in multimedia advocacy. That, in itself, was pretty awesome – they had several high-tech systems set up for people to try. I was supposed to be showing people how to use them, although I’m not sure how effective I was; as usual, I got distracted and starting talking to people. At one point I even had a chat with Lord Rix, who established the Rix centre. He is a great guy, about ninety, a former actor and very active and alert – the type of old thespian who addresses people as ‘darling’ or ‘lovie’. I also had a chat with andy, who runs the centre: I can’t go into detail, but he wants me to help me with something pretty damn big – and I mean huge. It sounded very exciting, although given it is quite an intellectual distance from my work with mmu, I probably need to go to some effort to refocus. It shouldn’t be too hard, but that, along with my work with Luke and Sally, Charlton School and GAD, means I will probably spend fewer days just lozzocking on the sofa watching Judge judy.
