Some stuff

Alright blog monkeys.

Here's another couple of things you may/ or may not wish to check out:

Fancy participating in a major new art installation by a renowned contemporary artist? Right here in Manchester/ Salford?

Of course you do! The only catch is that you have to get your kit off.



It's by Spencer Tunick, is called Everyday People and is gonna be at the Lowry.

The website says: "You don't need to be beautiful. You don't need to be unusual." So it should suit you lot fine! HO HO HO

Here's the link - http://www.thelowry.com/events/everyday-people/home/

GET INVOLVED!!! I might.

The other thing i would like to bring your attention to is the re-opening of the Peoples History Museum, aka the Pump House, as it's housed in an Edwardian pump house.



It's just undergone a 2 YEAR!!! and 12.5 MILLION squids re-development, and so I expect it to be pretty nifty. I've seen some decent exhibs there in the past, one in particular I remember was a history of protest and revolution, including banners, war and propaganda posters and graphic design and was very good.

AND, unless my memory's playing tricks on me, it's got a great pub next to it called The Mark Addy that does good quality food, real ales, and is right on the riverside with a outside seating area that's beautiful on a sunny day.

Here's the website, it was not working properly a minute ago but i'm sure they'll have fixed it soon -

Ha ha, I love the idea of being part of a big art project, but think this may be going a bit too far for me!!!
