No plans for when I get to Liverpool yet, except of course a visit and maybe nomtastic all-you-can-eat chinese buffet - if I don't get lost trying to find it again.

Ouch thats some insane start time. Really appreciate you stopping by and the others too
It gets insanely lonely and cold here. Its been a tough 2 weeks. I thought it''d be great to sit and chat with everyone who comes in but the simple fact is getting people in is bloody hard work. Its quite depressing sitting alone for 2 weeks in a cold room seeing a stream of people pass by and not come in. But there have been good times that have made it worthwhile. Not exactly the commercial success I had hoped for, but positive non the less. Manager of Waterstones Liverpool saying he'll stock my book and it *will* sell. Metro comparing my work to that of a famous photographer from the 40's. Being on the radio. The random people who stop by and say "Wow." I've still got to battle with Albert Dock to keep the door open over the weekend. They want it closed to save stress on the hinges as it costs £1k to fix. I want it open for 2 reasons. First because theres no device to slow the door down and as such will smash into the door frame everytime. This could easily lead to a broken hand or very injured child. Secondly, no-one comes in with it closed. The first weekend it was busy with the door open. I shifted 100 business cards. Second weekend with it closed barely 20 people. This is the 3rd and final weekend. I want it open so it ends on success and not me thinking "If only..."
