    Sounds interesting alright, though the offer has sold out so ticket prices are around £30 a head.

    The Not For Rental Exhibition is currently taking place on Leonard Street at the 71a Gallery (the exhibition space curated by the Little White Lies gang)

    Well worth a visit and trying to guess the movies based on the cover - titles of films are usually on the back/ spine.

    Went to Antony and the Johnsons at the Royal Opera House last night. Was an amazing gig. If you havent seen them live then do your best to! It can be ridiculously hard to get tickets though

    Has anyone ever played HintHunt?

    It's a live escape game where you have an hour to get out of a room by solving various puzzles.

    Can be done in groups of 3, 4 or 5. Booking is necessary and there's only a few open slots over the next month.

    Anyone interested?

    Further to my previous post upthread: if anyone's interested in catching The Reduced Shakespeare Company's Complete Works Of Shakespeare (Abridged) at the Leicester Square Theatre, there's an Amazon Local deal today offering tickets for £15 instead of the face value of £27.50.

    Just in case anyone's interested, Waterford band O Emperor are playing in the Selbright Arms in Bethnal Green on Saturday 7th September at 8pm. Tickets are only £8 and are sale online at the link below.

    http://www.seetickets.com/Event/O-EMPEROR/Sebright-Arms/722495

    They're highly thought of at home but are less well know over here so would be good to get some support. Their first album was nominated for a Choice Music Award for Best Irish Album and they've supported Mumford & Sons on tour and played numerous festivals over the past few years.

    Myself and the other half are planning to be there, so if you're coming along let us know.

    Two suggestions here!
    Ive been setting myself challenges to attend an event/class/activity once a week to push myself. I joined a brilliant night in Bethnal Green for nerdy people like myself called I LOVE LISTS. Also in Kings Cross.
    http://jessindeedy.com/i-love-lists/

    Honestly, it was such fun, guys and girls there with cheesy prizes and all thinigs list-y!

    Then I did the weirdest thing ever last night, in Hackney, as mentioned in last weeks Time Out magazine. Titled: No Lights No Lycra, it's basically and hour of dancing around in the dark to some tracks, 'losing yourself', getting fit and all that jazz. No drugs or alcohol were involved but I had my suspicions. On weekly, £4, Hackney!

    They will love you. Ill let you in on a secret; they give prizes for best list maker and best doodler..I won a 1D stationery set! Seriously, it's so sad it's good! And everyone there gets excited over Sharpie markers so you really feel part of the gang.

    2.8 Hours Later anyone?
    The cross city zombie chase game is back. You find yourself in a world of quarantine, of borders and murder. 4 years after the original outbreak, the government has regained control but at what cost? Brutal security, corrupt officials, vigilante mobs and scavengers seep out of the cracks in the police state. When the infection returns, and the government can no longer contain it, what will you do to survive? Who will you leave behind? Can you make it to Asylum?

    Asylum is an adrenaline fuelled cinematic experience like no other, catapulting you to the heart of the zombie action. You will make choices and sacrifices that {will} determine whether you and your friends survive. Honed by the latest bio-technology and a year in the making, Asylum is the only street game of it's size and reputation in the world.

    A Politically charged, gore filled, roller coaster ride of fear that will thrill newcomers and fans alike. Come Play.
    I know people who are going on the evening I plan on heading off on my holidays.

    Early bird tickets are all gone now so it's a sizeable £40 a ticket.

    HI folks,

    Just a heads up but The Oddsocks are playing the o2 in Islington on Sat Sep 7th and The Bugaloo in Highbury the following night. These guys are from Sligo and play an epic blend of funk, blues and rock. Have seen them several times(their halloween shows are legendary) and always have a blast!!

    Hope to see some of you there

    That sounds really cool! I was outside the station a few weeks ago for the Holi Festival of Colour and that was the last event to be held on the grounds.

    Looks like we have a posse so.

    I reckon the thing to do is get there about half an hour before the opening time and see if there's already a massive queue/total chaos. If there is, we go and do something else. If not, we're there early and have beaten any crowds that show up later!
