A Raw Deal
Sunday, November 11, 2007
Woo, yay and hoopla...
I'm off to join the fine folks at Raw TV on Monday for a coupla months or thereabouts, so I'll be in London (again) plenty - Kentish Town to be exact. I'm going to be working on developing a project that will hopefully turn out to be really cool and inspiring, upon which I'll not elaborate further for the time being.
Anyway, I'm in yr NW5, researchin ur digital offerings. Keep an eye out!

The Great New Media Smiting
Wednesday, July 04, 2007
Yesterday's freaky weather gave the Mind Candy environs a thorough beating. Our office mysteriously survived, but the rest of the complex got distinctly leaky, and the atrium was transformed into a cascading water feature. Pretty exciting - lots of Blitz spirit in evidence, and to quote Bill Bailey, we're British, and as such, we crave disappointment.
They had to turn all the power off eventually to stop things shorting out, so it was early hometime for a sleep-deprived me, and an early pubtime for everyone else. There should be more of this sort of excitement-without-actual-danger - hopefully, someone will let a moose loose aboot this hoose some time soon. (Note to self: nothing like a minor disaster to build community.)
This also reminds me of a great story that Jack told me the other day about a kid who, for a prank, let three pigs loose in his school. The genius part was he painted numbers on them: 1, 2, and 4. That's the kind of attention-to-detail that takes it to the next level.
Chalk is cheap
Sunday, February 04, 2007
I spent last night, and, well, let's face it, most of this morning at the fabulous Chalk at The Scala, and had most (if not all) of the fun, aside from run-ins with ex-dates, and otherwise lovely people WHO KNOW WHAT PERPLEX CITY IS who are 'attached', ostensibly to people better than me. (Hard to believe, I know.) Anyway, I digress. It really is very good. Even the bar staff are terrifyingly efficient. It's on every Saturday, so go along, even if it's only open until 4am. The only people that stay later than that are lanky floppy-haired boys with something to prove, anyway.
