An interesting day out

Matthew d'Ancona 6:29pm

Back from Interesting 2007, a daylong festival of creativity in the Web 2.0 world at the Conway Hall in Red Lion Square, and organised by the peerless Russell Davies (check out his always stimulating blog). Amongst the many ideas and  concepts given an airing: the links between the Muppets and Ibsen; 'foot candy' for those who understand the awesome changes in city life; 'toyetics'; and I did a turn on Orson Welles in the age of YouTube which included a somewhat risky impersonation of Al Pacino. The things I do in this job. Great fun.

It was a terrific Pacino impersonation. Risky but you pulled it off with aplomb. Thanks for turning up Matthew.

High risk, high reward. I agree- you are a born method actor. Watch out Michael Sheen. Thank you- it was great to have you there.
