If you live in the UK or happen to be here on June the 16th then you could do a lot worse than to attend Flash Camp Birmingham. It's hard to believe but yes, life does exist on this island outside London (in fact I am living proof of it and Birmingham is only a short drive from where I live). I'm very much looking forward to this event.

The schedule looks really interesting, but then I would say that since I'm part of it :-) and will be sitting on a panel with both Mike and Simon to tell you a bit about the life of a Flash geek freelancer and maybe get some of you who are stuck inside an ActionScript-sweatshop (only kidding, we all know they only exist in London) interested in trying it on your own. As you may find out, it's not all that scary and quite good fun if you're the sort of type that is prepared to take what I think is a pretty small risk (who can't return to a full time job if they want to) in return for a lot of freedom.

Hope to see you at Flash Camp. Come and say hi. Big shout outs to Jodie who's doing a fantastic job organising this event alongside his real job (do you see where this is going?).

PS: sorry about the incorrect date on this post, I know... Issues after MySQL upgrade and no time to fix them atm - and no clue how actually :-)
