boosh live
Im back! And last night I went to see The Mighty Boosh Live at Brixton Academy! If you don't know about the Boosh yet, shame on you! I'll let you off if you don't live in the U.K but just means I'm bringing the entire series round next time I'm in your 'hood.
Anyways, the place was packed and many crazy fans had dressed up as some of the characters . . . some were too good to not get on camera...
The head of Pie Face Records and the Crack Fox.
Tony Harrison
The Spirit of Jazz
And probably my favorites because one of them is soo good and the other is soooo crap - Bollo and Old Greg !!! Even has the light shining out of his mangina!
Anyway just as the show was about to begin my camera ran out of battery. Yes, professional photographer that I am, well done. Anyways you should go see the show yourselves!

new blog
Some people have never heard of 'Eggs Benedict', some people may have seen it on a menu once but didn't want to take the risk. Shame on them. Eggs Benedict kicks ass, and I've now started a blog dedicated to finding the perfect serving...
EGGS BENADDICT
Anyone is welcome to join and share their experience of one of the best breakfast dishes around.
(Mark shut up about the eggs already)

food & art
Today I went to West London's Kings Road to get some cupcakes at the market they have there every Saturday. Don't worry I'm not going all soft - they are for a far away friend.
The friendly people that make them go by the name of Crumbs & Doilies. They do some crazy ass cupcakes.
Seems they are popular as the racks were looking a little bare when I got there...
yum!yum!
Then I got myself a Chorizo sandwich. Damn that stuff is nice - with rocket and tomato sauce.
I got a lot of time for Chorizo sandwiches.
Right next to the market is The Saatchi Gallery. I've never been to it at this new(ish) location and it's free to get in. So in I went.
They are currently exhibiting a wide range of new work by Chinese artists. Most of it I found pretty stunning.
Now, check this next image. All of the rooms in the gallery are typical 4 white walls, but in gallery room 2 there was a gap in one of the corners. I wondered if the exhibition continued past this gap and round the corner or whether it was something like a staff entrance/store room etc. I soon realised it was nothing but a dead end as I watched someone else walk into it and immediately retreat. But as I stood there I noticed that people were continually doing this, some of them appraoching quite sheepishly, trying to look like they could style it out if they were wrong, others heading towards it very confidently as though they were a veteran gallery goer and of course it would lead somewhere.
So I took my camera out and for the next 5 minutes amused myself capturing this found art installation...

deadstock
About 5 years ago at crooked tongues we started a fanzine called 'Dead Stock'. We published it anonomously and used it to poke fun at the nerdy sneaker scene, make up stupid articles and print utter nonsense.
In one issue I wrote on article (well, piss take) on how to customise your sneakers. I'd never actually customised any back then. This is what I produced...
Note:
- Every panel is different
- Giraffe print! (with eyes!)
- Elastic band laces!
- Tartan laces!!
- One swoosh has been cut into a star!
- The circuit board in the tongue (this is to control the complex technoloy in the shoe)
- A missile!
- R@RE DUNKLE print!
- Many more
This shoe was obviously way ahead of it's time :)

donor card
Got my blood donor card in the post today. I was hoping to find out I hold a R@RE blood type, but seems I am a very ordinary O+, joining the majority of the UK.
You get different coloured cards for how many times you've donated. I really wanna get the silver award card, which means I need to donate at least 25 times. Seeing as you can only donate 3 times a year, this may take me a while.
