In contrast to the Friday I have always found Saturday at Astrofest to be quite manic. It all started when astronomy now start deciding to host signing sessions around lunchtime. It all really kicked off in 2007 when Brian May, Chris Lintott and Patrick Moore were invited along to promote their book 'Bang!'. The queues went from three flights of stairs from the top floor where the book signing took place all the way down to the basement. Ever since then a special guest would be invited along to sign books. This year is no exception, not only Brian Cox and Patrick Moore will be there but now Brian May will also be there. He will be promoting a unique conference where there will be a whole host of famous guests relating to astronomy, spaceflight, Human endeavour, art and music.
It's called the Starmus Festival and will be hosted on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
Anyway, it's going to be a busy day and will have to queue up early in order to not wait too long to get my book signed.
