I'm pretty sure it's the same one Saint Etienne have used in the past.

As posted previously, two of us are meeting on Wednesday 16th at 10:30 in Mon Petit chou for a coffee. Anyone else is welcome. I'm guessing that this time of day is not easy for most, so any suggestions as to a venue and a time for another occasion , please feel free.

OpenLab - Sunday Feb 27 @ The Others, 6-8 Manor Road London N16 5SA (Stoke Newington).


My mate Rob runs an experimental music night every few weeks, normally around Shoreditch area. Alex I mentioned this to you privately and was going to PM you again, however after talking to Rob he's happy for me to spread the word. These guys make experimental music in the technical sense of the word, they often combine with visuals and, personally, my first few visits were 'educational', given my grounding in more 'conventional' genres of music.


You have to go and watch/listen and make up your own mind I think...


One thing's for sure these guys are really into their thing, which in itself I like to see.


The gig details are found here:

www.pawfal.org/openlab/


If you want to participate / do a spot showingoff your thing, contact him, everyone is welcome form my experience.

Hi all,


Is anyone interested in a second meeting next week? Time and location is flexible, but 10:30 on wednesday in Mon Petit Chou worked well last time. Also, we were thinking it might be interesting to get audio visual people involved, as we are thinking about about trying to put an event on. All welcome.

Wot, you mean like Brian Eno? ;-)


I met up with Alex last time and we had a good chat. Mainly trying to establish common ground, etc.


Come along and get involved and we could actually try and make something happen. Coffee damn fine too.


Here's some stuff of mine

I own a local theremin though am yet to master the leap from alarming sound to tune

Yes please guys, put an experimental event on in ED tho! It's what the music scene lacks here. I could also help you with but although at present I am far too busy ...if you like contact me for support, advise and everything else!

Best luck

I'll second the thanks, Klarita. That's very generous ;-)


I urge anyone else who is seriously (or not!) interested in this idea to get together with us on a social night as we try and build some momentum together. As it was, we had a good, if suitably minimal night.


Check out Klarita's site. Some good artists on there.

Hi again,


Anyone up for some drinks next week? I'm proposing Monday night around 8:30pm, but if you want to come and can't make that time, then please suggest something that suits you and we can then all try to find something mutually convenient.


Don't be scared - we're not geeks or gear snobs. You just need to have an open mind!

Hi,


In case anyone fancies coming along, I'm 'performing' an installation piece on Thursday 19th May at 7pm as part of a concert at the London College of Music,

Vestry Hall, Ranelagh Road, W5 5RF (nearest tube South Ealing). As far as I know, entry is free.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Sue · Posted

      As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!

      That is almost too ridiculous to answer but I'll take the bait. You are comparing a national charity with one branch of a small charity. Cats Protection has around 34 dedicated rehoming centres. CHAT has two, Lewisham & Canning Town and a sanctuary in Sussex. So if Cats Protection have homed 34,000 cats, thats an average of 1000 per branch. From memory this years total so far for Lewisham CHAT was over 980. I saw a few homed this weekend so we may well reach 1000 for this year. The same as Cats Protection. No need for head scratching.
