Okay dokay. I thought I'd share what I found out the last time I saw Colin (which was at The Circle when Frank was there, which was AWESOME! But that's another story); Colin said that the reason Housemeeting stopped being published after the initial however many printed copies was because Penguin Books originally "Took a chance on it, but they didn't understand the humour".
So, although this isn't necessarily helpful information, at least you know why they only printed so few. This just means that rather than trying to convince Penguin Books that the book will sell, you'll have to convince them that the book itself is worth it (Obviously WE know it is, but these publishers... they're tricky).

1. Were you at the taping of The Circle when Col & Frank were on, or did Col just say it on air??!!
2. Thanks for the info, it gives us a better understanding of what to write in our future letters/emals to Penguin. Hopefully we can bring them to their senses so they realise what comedy talent that had missed out on!

I'm sorry! I was going to tell you guys earlier, but I sort of forgot, and then... yeah.
I didn't get to talk to Frank as he was just in and out for the interview, but when he came in Colin was on the other side of the room walking back towards the couch. The whole studio was dead silent just staring at them. Frank sat down on the couch, shook hands with the girls, Colin looked at him and said "Hey, fuck knuckle". Then the interview happened. Afterwards Colin got up to go find his drink bottle, Frank stayed on the couch talking to the girls. After a little it, he got up, said bye to the audience, Colin walked back, patted him on the back as they shook hands and said their goodbyes directly.
I wish I got to speak to them together, but just seeing them, and also being able to talk to Colin afterwards, was amazing as it is. It took everything I had to not fangirl and to just look like a normal audience member throughout.
It is a bit nuts though. I wonder, does this mean I can say I've seen Lano and Woodley now or not due to a technicality of them not being together anymore...?
I love my book. People ask me if they can borrow it but, as much as I'd love to share the Lano and Woodley goodness, because of its rarity and large price tag, I refuse to let anyone touch it.
