BANKSY hunting

I will elaborrate on this further in the near future, but this is a good way of spending a day.
Put a pound (well, maybe 2 or 3) on your oyster card, and jump on the central line.

Banksy's art is actually protected, meaning that councils won't paint over the 'grafitti', so as long as people stop chipping his works off the actual walls themselves , the Banksy's should be everywhere still.

So far on multiple trips, and almost by accident, I have found 5... consisting mainly of the numerous Rat stencils which Banksy painted for years. But in Marble Arch is where we found the well known "what are you looking at?" which is quite funny, and impressive.


It is in the subway thing where you walk under in order to get to Hyde Park.

I was proud of this find!

Other locations where I found some are , in alphabetical order : Smithfield and Whitechapel (on the wall next to Atlantis Art Shop).

If anyone has found, and knows the whereabouts of any of my favourites, tell!
(this is one)




Or if anyone happened to visit Palestine, and in particular the segregation wall, bordering Israel you may have seen this which are pretty damn amazing don't you think?
Note : the barbed wire




Anyone? Anyone? no? ohhhhhh...... : ]

Fires

Fires are not fun, they don't work, nothing actually gets burned, the concequences are actually worse than you could imagine.

Thankyou, for now, that is all.

Underage Festival



Finally, someone has pulled out the stops to create and organise a proper music festival for the younger variety of people. ( us )
I remember seeing somewhere about this monthly Club night which was started by a fourteen year old also called Sam, cor what is it with these cool Sams, and within months, acts like The Horrors, and Klaxons were playing at this Underage Club. This festival is by the same people, so i can't imagine it being anything other than brilliant.

Nang bands such as Pull Tiger Tail, Crystal Castles, Cajun Dance Party, Foals, I Was A Cub Scout ( - especially nang) and loads loads more indie/electro/type bands, are in the bill for the festival, which is going to be held in errr...... Victoria Park on one day, August 10th, split into 3 separate stages.
Oh, and it's strictly for under 19's.

According to the ticket website, it's £20 for the whole day, which I think is pretty cheap compared with full blown "Overage" festivals, like V or Reading.

Check this link which has details of all the bands in the line up, and places to buy tickets.

If you have more information, or if you have tickets already, beating me to it *meeehhh*, comment!
