Love Saves the Rain

Shame about the weather but today is going to be AMAZING. Can't wait.

Boomtown 2012

The boyf has booked tickets for Boomtown. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, bearing in mind I know maybe three of the acts (max.). I'm sure it'll be fun though - just find me pissed in the corner somewhere.

Magpies & M Shed

Come visit Sweet Sorrow Vintage at the M Shed tomorrow. There's an absolutely massive handmade and vintage market on as part of the M Shed Vintage Weekend with 50 stalls full to the brim with glorious treasures. What better way to spend a leisurely Sunday?

The 'Not So' Supermarket

Tomorrow you can find me here... I've embraced the spring clean so I'll be getting rid of LOADS of High Street items; brands such as Topshop, H&M, Motel, American Apparel and Urban Outfitters, £3 and under!

Futureboogie 10th Birthday

Awww man, Helen and I were meant to be going to this tonight but due to various reasons it wasn't to be. Hope it's a good one!

CAPGRAS PROXY

Tomorrow night at the Bristol Diving School. I'll be expecting the likes of Circle Traps, Kinlaw, The Amber Nectar, Dagger Brothers, Color of the Sun, Katapulto... Drinks, music, art and merriment - an ideal Friday evening.

Gimme Shelter! Vintage Fair

Once again Sweet Sorrow Vintage will be at The Lanes in Bristol, from 11 to 5pm tomorrow. Potter around, have a drink, buy a festive jumper and perhaps do a spot of bowling... what more could you want from a Sunday? Here's a sneak preview of new stock...

Azari & III

Helen and I were going to go to this tonight but due to money and an ill immune system put a stop to it.

ROCKY - HORROR

The best theme for a Halloween houseparty.

John Russell: Performance-ative

'Dan Graham after performance by Dan Graham, Performance-Audience-Mirror 1977.' 2000

'Beuys saluting', Beuys saluting' reversed, 2000

'Burning Man after Tomas Ruller, (8.8.88, 1988).' 2000

'Field Work after a performance by Andrea Fraser, page from Flash Art, vol XXIII - no 115, Nov-Dec 1990'. 2000

'Shoot after Chris Burden's performance shoot, 1971'. 2000

I went to an incredibly interesting, and actually very funny, lecture at the Arnolfini yesterday with John Russell as the speaker. It was pretty thematically dense, focusing on the idea of the cliche, semantics and language. An honest and self-deprecating account fom Russell's early days as part of Bank, a collective of young art school graduates trying to stir up/infuriate the art world; to the present day with his large-scale digital representations of philosophical theory. I can't say I'm a fan of his latest work so here's an earlier exhibition with Fabienne Audeoud, in which they recreate found slide images of various artists' work and photography, and then 'contextualising' them.

Perhaps?

Happy birthday!

10pm - On - The - Dot

CBA

Last week I was excited about the prospect of the most recent dose of Alfresco Disco, and then it was cancelled (due to the weather - very strong winds, you see) and postponed to tonight. THEN yesterday I heard rumours that it was in a field, £10 taxi fare away, no loos and BYOB. This made me far less excited. And so it finally dawned on me... I am getting old. Shit.

 

No.

An Eclectic Evening

Roly Porter - Tleilax by Subtext Recordings

The Arnolfini tonight... and then for a bit of light relief...

Sam's Farewell Party basically.

Au revoir Sam. London will be lucky to have you. This is his incredible blog: Mad Tight, one of my favourites by far.

 

Bare Hilare

Just casually popping along to this.

Wooo the annual tropical meltdown.

Friday's Free Fun

Cocktail Bar and Love Club @ The Motorcycle Showrooms in Stokes Croft

Crazylegs @ Westgate.

Me and Helen tonight. Woooo. Freeeee love. (via You Will Be Sad)

Bad Boy Boogie

Party Party Party.

As a veteran Motel girl I have very kindly been asked to join the girls tonight. I'm quite excited. We'll overlook my 'DJing' though.

First day at the Arnolfini...

Just happens to fall on the same weekend. Oh God!

DIRTYTALK Vs NEWTON

What a coincidence, the day I post a Helmut Newton montage, I get invited to this.
