2008 Ripper Conference, Knoxville, TN

[Robert]

The landing at George Yard - I gather the one originally thought to be it, wasn't.

[John Bennett]

What was more fun was the premiere of John's film RIPPERLAND last night. I know he was scared about how Martin would react to his impersonation of him. I can tell you now, his table was in uproar and so was he. He loved it and felt flattered and was very amused and said that John did an extremely good impersonation of him.

Thanks for the feedback, Phil, that's quite a relief!

[George Hutchinson]

Not close with anyone. I thank those of you that know for keeping mum.

I'm just teasing you others. You'll all know before the week is out, but I'm afraid you are going to have to wait some time to see it. I'll be happy to show it to people face to face, but I'm not putting it online where it can be used and abused. The reason? What happened to Neal and his work on the Annie wedding photo. I'm keeping a close rein on this one.

[Ally]

I am glad everyone had a great weekend at the conference. I hope someone took pics of Alan's talk. Can't wait for everyone to start sharing stories and photos.

I'm keeping a close rein on this one. (emphasis added)

So it's a picture of Diemschutz's pony and cart?

[The Grave Maurice]

I'll be happy to show it to people face to face....

Just noticed this bit. Right. I'll be in Guildford late Tuesday afternoon. Have the kettle on.

[Celesta]

The original is safely stashed in a safe deposit box. Right?

[Bailey]

I'll be happy to show it to people face to face, but I'm not putting it online where it can be used and abused.
PHILIP

That seems fair, when shall I expect you so I can put the kettle on?

Cheers,
B.

Still shell-shocked from the camel song, but just before I collapse drunkenly into my bed...

Hi guys,

Been following this thread......

Phil,that hotel!!!!!.....hmmm..you sure it wasn't a little guest house,with a landlady complete with fag hanging out of her mouth,cooking you a fry-up!(only,joking!!!!!!)...OMG I'm so envious,you lucky thing!!!

The other pictures were great too....thanks for sharing them,everyone.

Can't wait to learn about this mysterious picture....mind you....Martin Fido's rude camel song is equally enticing!!!..Poor Martin,(bet he's REALLY gonna regret that one).
Philip....you naught boy for videoing it!...hee-hee.

Safe journey home!...looking forward to all the gossip,
Warmest Regards to you all,
ANNA.

Thank God for Youtube, I am eagerly awaiting a subscription update to tell me you have posted a new video!!

I am guessing the building (inside and out) is Robert D'Onston Stephenson's Black Magicians Meeting place!!

Seriously, I had thought of Miller's Court, but when you mentioned it had never been photographed, I was a little puzzled! I look forward to seeing it!!

Morning All,

Sounds like everyone had a great time. I knew John Bennett's Ripperland would go down well (told you, John, didn't I? ). I put in a word with Adrian Morris because I'd love the WS1888 to show it. One of my favourite voices is James Mason - uncanny. John should also have enough material now for a sequel - with Martin's camel song providing plenty of fuel.

Hi Philip,

I wish I'd been there to see the reaction to your little surprise. I bet they never thought they'd see that ripper suspect being snapped hanging around that location.

That was the one you showed them, wasn't it?

Love,

Caz
