I was vaguely tempted to go, but Thursday is a difficult day to schedule to take time off work, and seeing that all the speakers were white males, was not sufficiently enthused to make the effort.
There is also whatsisname (Stone?) on pre 1914 utopian/dystopian/future invasion fiction - once heard him speak and got myself into an interminable and embarrassing rant about gender in the discussion. It was oh so clear that he thought that he was speaking in the confidence that it was an audience in which no-one knew anything at all about the subject.
Copies of (e.g.) Mrs Corbett's New Amazonia and Lady Florence Dixie's Gloriana are probably sufficiently rare that they should not be employed for pelting purposes.
