PARKLIFE!

Our good friend Penny celebrated her birthday this weekend by inviting us to the dog racing; the best night out you can have in Wimbledon in the rain.

The key is to go with the bookies outside, John White really knows his odds

£7.50 covers your entry to the stands, 2 beers and 2 bets - can't say fairer then that

There's a whole subculture to be found at the dogs, I was particulary impressed by the artwork on show

Kat had a winner of a scheme - always bet on 1 trap, that way eventually you're bound to strike big

Kat bet each race on trap 3. Alas, the scheme failed her

Dogs of any kind are in fashion

Bex and I entertained ourselfs between races by recreating the Partklife sleeve

After winning the grand total of £3.80 (on a dog named after my sister), I left feeling like a WINNER

Alex's Mobile Disco #15


Tuesday 25 March 2008

L.I.P messed with Texas. And won.

So I thought it only polite to do a SXSW round up - I'm a week later then everyone else and I'm not sure I can still drag out the jet-lag excuse either.

Lots happened that's for sure; saw a couple of bands, ate some prime beef, did a bit of DJing, drank some beers... I also:

Stalked Jeffrey Lewis

Admired DJ's getting all Tony Hart with their equipment

Figured out how to take some good band pictures at night

And ate some crocodile

May I proudly recommend these bands, with whom I left a bit of my heart with in Texas:
* Belaire
* The Coathangers
* Jay Reatard

Abandonment and The Skytypers

Photobucket

So Alex has left on a jet plane like I always knew she would...to DJ at the ever-so-fabulous SXSW festival. I'm not bitter, honest.

I'm consoling myself with some free tunes from PGHQ...

& I'm keeping it south by south west country. It's a bit stormy...

I hope they get sun burnt.

bingo + karaoke + good times = the P.G. quiz!

Photobucket
The announcement that Pure Groove was going to launch a monthly quiz night was met with nothing but whoops of joy. When it let slip there'd be half time bingo, a celebrity quiz master and an optional trip to Farringdon's finest karaoke bar after hours, people actually wet themselves. Embarassing but true.
In all the excitement, I've only just found the pictures, it'd be a shame not to share them...

The next one is on March 18th at The Slaughtered Lamb in Farringdon with Mat Horne calling the questions!
