  June 21, 2007 Fringe on the Thames
  London book festival gets "cheeky" blogger-run fringe.
  It may seem a little cheeky but the organisers are adamant that, more than anything else, they want to celebrate London's multitude of scenes. "We're not trying to take over or ruin the LLF," James Bridle, of the litblog Booktwo.org explained. "We just want to highlight all the other literary activity going on around us, all the time, that often falls beneath the radar: the small, the cheap, the marginalised, the suburban, the passionate and the personal."

  June 21st, 2007 at 8:53 am I don't see what's "cheeky" about this. Damned good idea. Every city has a similar literary life — are we "underground" now? That's awesome — I've waited my whole life to be that cool.
