• MADE in Birmingham – D’log summarizes MADE’s forthcoming autumn events. “Organic Eastside: Creative approaches to regenerating Eastside” on 28th October 2008 is one I’ll definately be signing up for.
• Killriculum – Now I love a good, nasty horror film that messes with my head for a few days after I’ve seen it. I actually really like Wolf Creek, and all those Japanese films with scary little girl ghosts. So it’s great to see a Bond-based company making it with young people, I’m only disappointed I’m too old to participate. They held free live workshops at The Bond over the weekend and are currently looking for a team of young writers to help write a spooky script. There’s the opportunity to submit your own creations, which if shortlisted will be screened at Killriculum’s showcase event in Millennium Point on 26 October, followed by ‘Bride of Frankenstein’ and a Q&A session with film director John Hough.
• Gigbeth at Artsfest – Now I don’t know Claire Burgess, but something tells me she doesn’t look like the sort of person who raps old Sugarhill Gang hits effortlessly, which is why her doing exactly that and getting customers to do the same at their Artfest stall puts a great picture in my head.
• Betty’s Utility Room: The Digbeth Coach Station of Blogging – A rather bizarre blog, not at all about Digbeth coach station, but about 10cc top tens that make Sarah Palin explode and Sir Bill Cotton. Betty says that ‘bloggers are a bunch of c***ts’, which really makes me warm to her.
