it's ok grimer. i think it's rubbish, which sort of balances the whole thing out.

you should read it by the way. it's great. i cut all that bollocks about the states, germany, france and replaced it with some stuff about the profound effect finally meeting cofe had on him, written in the 4th person tence.

you should bring out 2 books, one called "jerry", the other one called "moffatt", people could buy both, read them, then just read the best one. check em out, direct comparison.

It looks as if The Man Himself will be doing a magic lantern presentation at the Works on Sunday 22nd Feb. I might even buy a ticket myself.

Does anyone remember the old article (not sure which mag, High?) that Jerry wrote about doing Rage De Vivre and Minimum? Every time we walked up to Bout De Monde it was obligatory for someone to shout "I hate this walk" in a squeaky voice.

Can't believe he hasn't beat me to it. This has been rearranged. It's now on Sunday 8th Feb. I'm sure the G-dogg will follow with more details.

This is currently Jerry's only major slideshow/talk in Sheffield. He will also be appearing at SHAFF though on Saturday 28 Feb.

I was too busy awarding Jon a wad point  ;D

8.15pm on Sunday 8th Feb. So stock up on your helium and lose those razors.

Haven't sorted ticket prices yet but expect them to be around a tenner. We will be hiring in some heaters as well - got one to try out for Gaz's talk this Sunday.

As ever we will have one of our fabulous "everyone's a winner" raffle. Just have to work out what kind of beer everyone will win.

Slack-line is showing his age - it's a multimedia presentation

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that Jerrry will be giving a lecture and a reading from his new book at the Sheffield Adventure Film Festival, which runs from February 27 to March 1.

ShAFF is a massive event, this is it's 4th year and it's going to be bigger and better than ever: there will be tons of showings of amazing adventure films at the Showroom in Sheffield plus loads of cool lectures and fun fringe events.

Jerry will be selling and signing copies of the book after his lecture / reading which starts at 12.45pm on Saturday 28th Feb. He will also be around later in the evening of the 28th Feb to introduce Chris Sharma to the stage for his lecture at 7pm.

You can get tickets at www.shaff.co.uk ...

If anyone would like to read an excerpt from Jerry's book, an edited section from the Master's Wall chapter is now live on UKC.

Jerry's book is finally here! It looks great (I would say that), but it really is Jerry's story that it's all about and Grimer has done an incredible job in putting it down in words.

We've been cracking the whip this afternoon....



......and we'll be sending out all the pre-orders ASAP so thanks to everyone on UKB who's ordered through Vertebrate. The book will also be available from plenty of other places as it filters out over the next few days and weeks. 

Cheers ears.

I am so very excited. Any chance it will be here by Friday? perfect for a long flight.
