DC Sterne social media Q&A (with photos)

John Reppion — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 20:03:52 +0000

DC Sterne is a photographic collaboration between Diana Steinway and Chris Cawthorne. They are currently working on an ongoing portraiture project documenting high-profile users of social media in and around Manchester, England. Back in September Leah and I were lucky enough to have some pictures taken by the very talented duo at the very beautiful Portico Library.

Click on the image above to jump to their website, see some of the photos, and read some nonsense we’ve said about how much we’re both basically addicted to Twitter.

Some interesting bits mostly extracted from Twitter for those of you who couldn’t attend (like me – I watched the whole thing on my phone while eating KFC in my mum’s house because this is the 21st century and stuff like that happens all the time now) and can’t be bothered trawling through the archived MCM liveblog.

Incidentally, we’ve got a DVD of the trailer which Rich was so impressed by… but Leah says that I’m not allowed to post it. Yet.

Walpurgis Nacht and Dracula’s Guest

John Reppion — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 19:27:43 +0000

Saint Walpurga (c. 710 – 777 or 779), was an English missionary to the Frankish Empire. She was canonized on 1 May, ca. 870 by Pope Adrian II. Her feast day commemorates the translation of her relics on 1 May.

Walpurgis Night is celebrated on the night of April 30th, the eve of Saint Walpurga’s feast, when the witches and other occult folk can celebrate before being banished by the dawn of this saint’s special day.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula’s Guest - a short story published by the writer’s widow a few years after his death – is thought by some to be a “lost” or excised first chapter of his novel Dracula. We have included the story as the opening to our series The Complete Dracula (#1 coming very, very soon).

Dracula’s Guest takes place on the outskirts of Munich on Walpurgis Nacht, so what better day than today to read it?

Some of you might also be interested in realtimedracula.livejournal.com (a project similar to Dracula Blogged - which we found invaluable when we first started working on TCD) via which you can follow Johnathan Harker, Professor Van Helsing and the other main characters on Twitter as they microblog their way through the events of the novel (and Dracula’s Guest) in real time.

Have a very happy Walpurgis Night!
