TATE liverpool celebrated their 20th birthday this weekend with an unconventional party. Northern soul tunes 'rocked' the foyer of the TATE with a pic a mix of attendees (including myself). Either way it was a gallant effort from the newly furbished gallery. Black and Ginger are most definitely MATES of TATE. Happy Birthday.
Alex and I are on the train to London to go over a website with a new client. The train journey from liverpool to london is usually a pretty boring run. However, we have found ourselves sitting in a real life episode of 'the office'. Two guys sitting behind us are doing a sterling job of trying to out do each other with some serious corporate lingo. Guy on left "if you put a propper manager in place they will manage not micro manage without close control systems and not expoloiting geographical location or distribution levels", Guy on right "totally agree" Guy on Left "Agree on what?" Guy on right "err what you just said" Guy on left "err what did i just say?" Guy on right "something about managing" Guy on right " we need to evaluate this, put an online test in place that will remove us from the jigsaw" Guy on right "yeah good idea, its all about getting the peices in the right place, like a sandwich guy on left "err, yeah your right.... Do you think i look cooler with a big knot in my tie or no tie?" guy on right "big knot, absolutly, says power dressing, your in control," guy on right "yes, thats right, i am in control".
We just moved to our amazing lovely new studio space. A two story gaff with a loft studio, terrace and a toilet with a two person shower ;) Alex just sent me this great picture from our terrace, makes me want to go back to work!
Has anyone seen this film? If so what is it like. It just looks to crazy and I like crazy!
Reading the latest copy of 'COLORS' magazine which is dedicated to people with varying degrees of blindness. I was really taken aback by a story of a blind football team. The Brazilian national blind football team in fact. I just had to read on. This short story gives a great insight to how a disability can be turned into such a unique 'ability'. These guys are great. Check out the video we found on youtube. How do you think you'd get on?
Only In New York..........
We think these are brilliant. What do you think?

Brrrr..... Boy its cold. Ive travelled sweaty palmed across the pond for 4 nights in the big apple, and all ive seen is one big que. It starts the moment you get off the plane, through the taxi rank, into starbucks, through the MOMA, onto the ferry for the statue of liberty, up the rocker fella and up to my hotel.....
I was sitting in the cinema about to watch Sweeney Todd, and, as usual film trailers came on screen, Juno was one of the films being advertised, my first impression was ‘chick flick’ and my boyfriend causally whispered “not watching that”.
a couple of weeks went by and still had no-one to watch it with. By now i was keen to see it following the reviews from film critics and from the guys here at B&G.
So, i went on my own, which was really strange (oh and it was orange wednesday! which means i had to queue for a ticket for half an hour)
It had to be the smallest cinema i have ever been in, and as the opening credits were about to open on a group of about seven people came in, so i got shoved to the isle seat, and typically the guy sitting next to me was a bit strange, at first i thought he was uncomfortable in his chair but noticed he was really getting into the film, leaning forward and saying things out-loud such as “ahh i cant watch” when she was about to tell her parents the news. Oh and at the end he even applauded and stood up saying how fantastic it was, strange, but to be honest i felt like applauding myself it was that good.
Juno is one of the wittiest films i have seen for a long time, the story line was simple yet engaging, the acing by Ellen Page (well all of the cast) was outstanding. This film is anything but a chick flick. Go and see! - Hollie - on placement at B&G
