Talk talk
I've got a big couple of weeks coming up as I've been asked to speak at two events within a few days of each other. Nervewracking. On Thursday I'm going to be speaking at Glasgow School of Art's study day for second year students. It's a real honour to be asked as I wouldn't have put myself top of the list of people who could tell art students a thing or two, but I'll do my best.
If there's anyone reading this who's coming along is there anything you'd like to know? I feel a bit disadvantaged not knowing much about art but I suspect in this case my ignorance is my strength. I'm planning on talking about what I do, why I do it and what I've learnt along the way. That doesn't seem very earth-shattering but it's all I know. So, any questions shout them out. This will be an extended version of whatever I'm going to say at interesting2007 so requests from interesting delegates/anyone else also welcome. What do you think I can bring to the table?

I've never really figured out what you do for a living?

Join the club!
Only joking. I'll explain at some point. Nothing exciting really, and not that related to I like so I don't talk about it much.

I've no advice for you, not good advice anyway, but I did notice that 'Nothing to see here' in the Guardian Guide's blogroll this week.
Congrats (although I don't think anyone actually reads that section apart from other bloggers).

Don't under sell yourself ! I'm particularly disapointed that I won't be at Interesting 2007 because that looks like an excellent day. If you bring a tiny amount of what you manage to do on I Like to either event then the audience will be very well served indeed.

Will - that's NTSH's second time. Must go for the hat trick.
Simon James - thank you. That's very kind. I'd hoped to be able to plug interesting so people could get tickets but it sold out straight away. I'm a bit worried it will be all ad wonks, but hopefully they'll be kind. I think it's getting webcast anyway so at least you can view from the comfort of your own home.

I was curious what you did for a living too, I thought you're an ambassodor or something that involved travelling the world. Second thought its quite good not knowing.
Good luck on your talk, I'm sure it will go well.

Wil - I'm definitely not saying what I do now. Your version is much more interesting.
Susannah - thanks! It was lovely to meet you. I'll be at the degree show on Thursday so hope to see you then. You can't keep me out of the Art School now.
