Fake People Street Art
Posted on: 12 Jul 2006 by Tom

fake person Check out these street art installations in Washington and New York, Mark Jenkins creates fake people and animals, and assumably just plonks them all over the urban landscape. Somehow I dont get the obsession with realism, wheres the fun in creating an exact model of a busker on the side of the street, its not like its uncommon.

Another subject to add to our summer activities we never-actually-do list, random street art.

Rockin' out for Charity

Only just saw this, looked interesting. Uxfest 2006 is a random one day rock festival which takes place in the Carling Academy Islington on 6th August. Ten-pounds a pop and all funds (assumedly) go to a good cause, everyone wins!

The line-up is mostly made up of seemingly upcoming bands, although Skindred seem to be one of the announced headliners, for all those metal/reggae fusion fans (err yeah). Awesome!

Instant Beans on Toast!

beansontoast Just a quick post here. The Guardian have reported today that Heinz are working in their top secret baked bean labs on an 'instant' dish of beans-on-toast.

As if beans on toast weren't instant enough, you can now pop the whole thing in the microwave, and in a few minutes receive a piping hot toast + beans combination.

Is this convenience food gone mad?

headcrab Shurely shome mishtake? Those crayzee developers down at Valve software have just released a Half Life 2 stylee cuddly-toy headcrab. If you didnt know, these headcrabs are lovely creatures which attempt to latch onto your head, jumping out of conveniently dark corners in the game. A bit like in alien!

So what a perfect creature to turn into a lovely, collectable, cuddly toy to snuggle upto at night, or maybe even suitably wear on your head?

Dont have nightmares now.

What is it with this? We've all just got over the excessive devilish pleasure that was steak and blowjob day, now we're summoned with the national day of Slayer, the band that is. Is it, perhaps a new trend? Lets initiate unknown beings day, with unlimited festies and anything else that takes your fancy, or maybe not.

So anyway, all you chumps turn up ya ghetto blasters on June 6th and unleash some Slayer.

Anyone else got some unusual days-of-the-year?

New amusement ride blessed

The new 200ft rollercoaster at thorpe park opened today, and who other than local religious clergyman Father Michael Hereward-Rothwell to come along and bless the £12million monstrosity. How nice of him indeed! Except curiously, this took place just before his fellow parishioners took a free ride. Talk about looking out for your own!
