Robert plays Simon's bass in Lodz


Simon doesn't finish 'A Forest' in his usual way, so Robert decides to do it for him. And nearly kills Reeves in the process. :)
Thanks, @Mike_Mosk.

'In Between Days' book updates #2

From Tom at The Flood Gallery: "Over the last few days we’ve checked through and proofed the plotters for the book (basically a draft, low-res pdf of the book)….
Following this we’ve had the running sheets (the book printed in its entirety, but unbound) from the printer for which we’ve given final approval.
Also, Tom popped in on Friday to sign and number all 700 certificates of authenticity…
All that’s left now is to wait for the finished books to arrive in advance of release on November 28th

Next week I’ll send you all updates on the details of the signing event in London which takes place at The Cannick Tapps bar in Central London, from 7pm 30th November."

If you haven't already done so, you can pre-order it here,
