It’s only a week away and I’m wondering what to do to celebrate cassettes in my own way. I’m not quite sure what form that will take, but there will be something for sure.
Cassette Store Day is only a week away
Category: Events
Things are going on all the time!, This category is about things I’ve been to or sometimes would have liked to have been to. Also, it’s about events I’m a part of or have had some hand in running.
Today is national poetry day
This kind of crept up on me today. I just didn’t know that it was national poetry day at all. If I had known I’d have done something to celebrate, I’d have at least read one or two of my favourite poems, but I’ve sort of missed the boat.
I’ll have to do something a bit more next year.
Edinburgh Fringe 2015: What Would Spock Do?
Ok, I love Star Trek. That’s only fair to say, but even so, this was a lovely little show. It was fun, poignant, and very well done. It was a one man show, and the one man was one of the actors who was in the Frontier Trilogy. He was excellent.
I’ve no idea if this show will go anywhere else after Edinburgh, but if it does I can thoroughly recommend it.
Edinburgh Fringe 2015: Frontier Trilogy – Red Moon
As I said before, I saw all of the plays in this trilogy, and each was amazing. This one was also amazing.
A little film about the Beautiful Octopus Club this year
So I didn’t make it out to Open House London at the weekend
Instead I had a very quiet weekend and caught up on a load of things instead. It was a bit of a shame, but not the end of the world of course. I didn’t really fancy anything in particular from this year’s set of buildings either. Still, perhaps I should make a bigger effort to go along next year. We’ll see.
Edinburgh Fringe 2015: The Elephant in the Room
I do like dance although I seldom get the chance to see any, so this show looked like it might be worth seeing, and it was. I’m not sure that I understood it very well, but I did enjoy it.
I expect that I need to spend more time getting to understand modern dance before I can really get my head into it, but I doubt that’ll happen any time soon.
I expect that I’ll just dip my toe in the water every now and again like with this show.
And then I had wings!
I got sent this picture from the Beautiful Octopus Club. It’s pretty awesome, so I had to post it. Never knew I had wings for one thing!
Brighton Mini Maker Faire 2015
It has to be a dalek really doesn’t it?
I hadn’t been to the Brighton Mini Maker Faire for a couple of years, so it was nice to go back again. It felt bigger than the last time I was there, and certainly felt like there were a lot more people there too.
I had a good look around the whole show and there were a few interesting things there, but nothing that totally grabbed my attention. But then it really isn’t something that’s aimed at me I think. It’s more focused on kids and parents, which is good, and as it should be really. Even so I found it interesting and good to see a few companies I really like showing off their stuff.
And that was the Beautiful Octopus Club 2015
This was the third time I’ve done SoundLab at the Beautiful Octopus Club. It’s a fantastic event, and if you’ve never been I strongly encourage you to go next year. You’ll love it. It’s awesome.
Once again SoundLab was well received even though we were much smaller than last year and occupied our usual space just behind the shop in the RFH. Of course, we had a great time and everyone who visited seemed to really enjoy themselves. I think that the only downside of being a part of SoundLab for the BOC is that you don’t get the opportunity to see the rest of the event. BOC has so much to offer and for three years I’ve only seen my little bit of it. Which is a shame. So next year I’m considering just turning up to watch and participate.
Let’s see if I can manage that!
