With blogs, I'm finding I don't feel like passing off videos as blogs (sans added text) anymore.

No boss, though I'm sure if I found a truly astounding and amazing vid, I might give it a whole blog, I'm no longer going looking for that kind of content..


Furthermore, in general, I'd say that the days of relentless 3 or or 5 blogs a day are coming to an end.

Yes boss, I'm now feeling more inclined to wait for things to come to mind, rather than getting in wine or brandy or beer and forcing them out TO KEEP PACE!!!


I'm also finding I have less to say than I have had, purely because I have less time to think about what to say - and also because I'm putting a lot of time and effort into promotion of what I've already done as well as an ever increasing list of day to days...

Of course, I could fill you in on the Baby G preparations going on here @ the Fort: The carrycot debate, the Moses basket debate, the open shelves, vs wardrobe debate (to name but 3) - but I'm sure that's gonna be boring on the screen...

Now, I've talked before about how I love the Aquarium and Amuti Gallerys who sell and represent the likes of Cauty and Billy Childish and Jamie Reid..

This show was amongst the best I've seen and heard - it was very intense: LOUD SOUNDS, BLOOD, MESS, VIOLENCE!!!

Yes boss, after an hour of fishing about seeing what I wanted to buy, I was feeling slightly troubled..


So, I mostly went along today, because I was keen to improve my portfolio..

Yes boss, I'd rather shoot myself than save money in the bank, instead I prefer to invest in cultural tish tosh, which might sometimes be a hiding to nothing - but in the meantime looks good and does at least exist...


Well, today, I had a dilemma.

I had £60 in cash, but couldn't leave Cauty and Sons grand new show without one particular print that was £50 alone - furthermore, I wasn't prepared to leave the other items - many of them one offs that totaled £30 either...


I explained the situation..

Could I leave with the goods, leave my bank card as security and pay the remaining £20 on Tuesday???

Don't worry about leaving the card - just pay the extra £20 on Tuesday...

was the response..

HOW FUCKING CLASSY IS THAT???


I'll post some pictures of the loot just as soon as I get some good ones done..

Meanwhile here's the video that formed part of the show...

Imagine, this on 10 different screens in an art mess and through a loud horn speaker - (part of Jimmy Cautys Sonic Weaponry)
