Day three of my first Weird Weekend has dawned and I feel a lot better than I did. In order to better concentrate on the talks last night I consumed much less alcohol. Having said that, I still managed, somehow, to suffer at least one hallucination: I could have sworn Charles Hoy Fort was brought in to do a speech but I must have imagined that one.
Lectures were interesting and varied: Oll’s Kraken was up first and we also had young Maxi on cryptids in pet shops (I later held a cockroach but drew the line at millipedes). Tim the Yowie man was a very interesting
way to end the evening (I apologise to the speakers I have forgotten to mention but we were up till 3am listening to strange music and my brain is rather less than in gear so far).
