Apparently, Don Conroy is doing a night in The Bernard Shaw soon, which is bloody bizarre. I met Don when I was a youngster and he was a really nice bloke, I’ve all the books somewhere but my artistic ability was always poor at best.
When Don arrives he will be drawing with us and telling us stories about his time on the Den with the gang.
Expect OWLS.Afterwards you can meet the man himself, get your Draw with Don books signed if you’ve managed to hang onto them, and maybe if you’re lucky he’ll have some time for some photos.
I have no opinion on all this, I just think it’s mad. It’s akin to someone from The X-Factor playing in your local. Nostalgic to say the least, fair play to him.
It’s not Don’s first run-in with hipsterism. Here is a video about his ‘perfect day’ set to music from The Postal Service.

Come Here To Me! 
I’m there. Fucking awesome.
My mates Conroy story solidifies his god like standing.
“oh man! I’d an epic moment with him when I was younger… a swift had hit a window and couldnt fly. i went to the staff room and knocked on the door to tell the teachers. frickin DON CONROY was in there having tea coz he was giving us a show later. he took me and the bird near the back of the school and said “hes a swift, so he cant take off from the ground, because they never land… and than he threw it up into the air and it flew away…. I was like… “holy shit…. he is god.””
I met him at work about 3 weeks ago, win!
[…] Don Conroy off the telly is in The Bernard Shaw on Thursday. Showing people how to draw. Really, he is. It’s so surreal it’s almost tempting to drop in. […]
