Either way this is one of events I am most looking forward to this year, small and friendly with a festival atmosphere, every one who has been before speaks affectionately of Alt.Fiction and I can't wait to be one of them. I can't wait to see you all there.
You can buy tickets either through the Quad site or the Alt.Fiction site itself now. Links below.

So that means those of us who can't be there can still listen?
I think the plan is also to record the public panel discussions so yes, but what i'm doing is actually small private conversations we will share afterwards to entice you all to come next year. :)
