I was recently asked to speak at Magfest about Marbles, why I started the magazine, and what I wanted to achieve with it. When I stopped feeling like I was going to be sick every time I thought about speaking in front of magazine luminaries, I had a good think and realised there was one particular reason I started it – a conversation I had earlier in the year. It really got things going and sparked in me an ethos I hope I can always have with me. Because everything is hectic and frantic and other words ending with ‘-ic’ right now, my blog today is my Magfest speech, explaining why I started Marbles and why I think it’s important.

I was pretty psyched to get connected with Rita and to start working on an event that we could run together: her in her Another Helping guise, and me in my Marbles guise. It’s so nice to meet someone you instantly click with – and I think the day we realised we were cool with each other was when we were at a local watering hole discussing what kind of food we could potentially serve at our Dear Diary event. We talked about different kinds of chips – cheesy chips, peri peri chips, poutine, bacon chips, chips and mushy peas, chips and gravy - for so long, we got too hungry to focus and, somewhat sheepishly, admitted that we really just fancied calling it a day and ordering some chips. Which we did. I always like to base friendships and working relationships around carbs. |
