It seems there’s no rest for the wicked. I’m only just back off holiday and already my week ahead is full to bursting. Here’s me diary:
- Monday – Time to get angry and shout loudly about street litter and the like at the Digbeth Residents’ Association meeting, 7pm at the Paragon Hotel.
- Tuesday – okay so there is some rest for the wicked. After a hard day’s work at ACE dance and music, I’ll get to spend the evening at home, which I’ll undoubtedly spend blogging.
- Wednesday – The Irish Heritage Group conduct their monthly meeting at The Irish Club. I keep intending to go to this and never make it, so now I’ll say I will on the internet to make it happen. I will, I will, I will. By the way, if you fancy becoming the Irish Heritage Group’s new Chief Executive, you’ve got until this Friday to hand your application in.
- Thursday – The preview of the new Andy Warhol exhibition at the Ikon Eastside The Eternal Now: Warhol and Film ‘63-’68 is at 7.00pm-9.00pm. The exhibition carries on until 19th October.
- Friday – Melinda Schwakhofer comes back to Birmingham to do Digbeth. Sounds like she fancies a visit to The Spotted Dog to check out John Tighe’s junk record-player collection.
- Saturday – back to Ikon Eastside for an evening of films by Len Lye: Individual Happiness Now.
- Sunday – Think me and Melinda may head down to Sunday Flea at the Custard Factory before exploring deepest, darkest Digbeth.
- Monday 8 Sept – Heading to The Spotted Dog at 8pm to talk Irish culture and Filum before watching a bit of high-brow telly.
