We have a venue, a date, a core group of interested people, and a hankering. So the Auckland Comics Workshops will begin on Saturday 5 February 2005.
I’ll be very interested to see how they go, because the Christchurch workshops on which they’re modelled seem very much to revolve around a particular group of friends, but in Auckland we’re bringing together a bunch of people who mostly haven’t had any experience of the Christchurch model. I’m trying not to make too many assumptions from my Christchurch experience, but on the other hand I’d like to carry across some of the atmosphere of friendly collaboration. Basically, I want to bring the love. And the iced animals biscuits. But really, the iced animal biscuits are part of the love.
