Had a bit of a mad weekend - a good party in a crap club in Mayfair on Friday night, and a great house party on Saturday night. Plus some infuriating computer issues.
Anyway, I’m in a mad rush to get ready for Glastonbury, but before setting off I thought I’d add some details and pics [...]
Nothing, but nothing, is going to make me laugh more this week.
Okay, I’m officially excited about Glastonbury now. This time next week I’ll bouncing around to some great music in a muddy field in Somerset. It may not have as many good ‘big names’ as Bestival this year, but I think the 2008 Glastonbury lineup is actually really strong; if anything, I think I’m going to [...]
By lunchtime yesterday I felt in need of a break from staring at the computer screen, so decided to go for a little stroll. The clouds threatened rain, but it didn’t materialise - just as well, as my little stroll turned into a six mile walk! I headed east from London Bridge station and followed [...]
Six interesting photography sites for you today. The first one, Balakov’s classic photographs recreated in lego, has been doing the rounds for a while now, but I see he’s added more recently. My favourites are still the Lego version of Cartier-Bresson’s “Behind the Gare Saint Lazare”, and the classic 70s poster “tennis girl scratching [...]
A couple of “Oh my God!” links that I’ve been meaning to post for a while, and one I’ve only just seen:
El Caminito del Rey is a 200 meter high walkway that runs along the walls of a gorge in El Chorro, Spain. The one meter wide walkway was constructed between 1901 and 1905, [...]
Oh dear, almost a week without posting, what a poor show. Before I ramble on, I must thank Miss Schlegel for the plug in her piece on three humungous artworks last week (love the video in that post).
I had intended posting about the disgusting 42 day detention and secret inquests vote, and then on the [...]
I was intending to do a bit of almost-live blogging about this breaking news yesterday, but unfortunately my broadband went down about 5.30pm and has only just returned, albeit in a rather unreliable state (expect a rant about Virgin Media shortly). So, 21 hours late…
High drama in East Dulwich this yesterday afternoon, as a suspect [...]
Slinkachu, creator of the wonderful Little People, has launched a new site: Inner City Snail - a slow-moving street art project. I thought the inclusion of ‘Tox08′ was a particularly nice touch - there can’t be many Londoners that haven’t spotted one of his tags around the city over the years.
For more street art, try [...]
I have to admit this weekend didn’t quite go according to plan. I was meant to be having a few drinks on Friday night to celebrate a friend’s birthday, then travelling down to Devon for a big party in the countryside on Saturday. Unfortunately Friday night turned out to be more of a heavy-duty session [...]
I was in Covent Garden the other day and decided to take a little detour across the Strand to Carting Lane, which is home to London’s only remaining sewer lamp. The Webb Patent Sewer Gas Lamp was invented in the late 19th century, primarily as a means to burn off smells from the sewers running [...]
I had time to pop up to Tate Modern to have a look at their Street Art exhibition at lunchtime today. It’s the first commission to use the outside of the building, and consists of 15-meter high wall mountings by six international street artists, plus a Street Art Walking Tour around Bankside.
Right, I’ve finally pulled my finger out and applied a new veneer to this blog. I’ve been playing around with designs on my local server for weeks, but it’s still very much a work in progress; the to-do list still includes:
Set up a pro Flickr account and upload some photos (the nine thumbnails on the [...]
