Not too much to report today other than the long awaited arrival of my Cleon Peterson print, ordered on 9th January. After stuggling for waaay too long on the copious amount of sellotape around the tube, I finally got the thing open. Very nice it is too - and number 69/100 - wahey! I’m spending the rest of the evening online trying to upgrade my mobile phone, in anticipation of changing to a PAYG. The Orange webshite is being rather difficult and obstructive… update: today (5th February 2008) Shepard fairey is promoting and selling this very print on obeygiant.com. It goes on sale later today and, as with everything else on obeygiant, I expect it to sell out in seconds. Good to see I’m still ahead of the game |

Heavy Trash & The Sadies
H. and I nipped out last night after work to catch Heavy Trash & The Sadies at The 100 Club in London’s West End.
Surprisingly, The Sadies were also the support act, coming on sometime around 8.30pm.

Of Creeps and Cars…
Here in the latest of slightly iffy videos that they play in my Gym is ‘Freaks’ by The Creeps; or ‘The Creeps’ by Freaks. I’m not sure which and I’m certain that where vampire cheerleaders are concerned it doesn’t really matter…
Oh, and speaking of Creeps, my car got broken into again this week, they got away with my car stereo (minus fascia), the Lee Perry CD within the stereo, and the rubber sucker that attaches my SatNav to the windscreen. They left me with a hole punched through my driver’s door and a hefty body work bill (again). Grrr…

London Roller Girls
Wow, it seems like ages since I last wrote on my blog and so much has happened between now and then - not least, xmas and new year!
Anyway, I’m gonna gloss over xmas - ’cause I spent (at least some of) it with those I know and hold dearest, meaning they know all about it anyway; and I’m sure random person out in the blogosphere couldn’t give a toss what I did.
Fast forward to last night (Saturday) - being left in on my own cause none of my mates were out and the gf was in Goa, I took myself along to the ‘New Years retribution’ roller derby between the pink and black teams of The London Roller Girls.
Sunday (today), I met up with J and B for Sunday lunch at The Albion. J. was supposed to be going to work in Abu Dabi this Thursday, but now has a delay-of-execution for a couple more weeks. A bonus which means we get to spend Australia Day doing something fun.
Afterwards we took a walk down the street in Islington where Neve Campbell lives (peering through the windows to see how the ‘other half’ live) and bought some travel books and a Sunday paper in Borders.
