Birmingham Zine Festival – The Birmingham Zine Festival is taking place in venues across Birmingham in the run-up to and over 10th-12th September, including the Custard Factory:
Postcards: Mail Art EXhibition in The Framers Gallery 1st-8th September – the exhibition ‘will feature a collection of postcards from a range of different artists. Each postcard will be a unique work of art.’ There’s a private view from 7pm this Friday 2nd September (follows event at Urban Outfitters from 5pm).
Which is bad for the future of noisy, night-time events under the railway arches at the back of the Custard Factory, but great for the proof-reading fail that is ‘Nose Abatement’. As local Sub-Editor Fiona Cullinan said, it’s ‘Not quite the new Wanky Balls, but still a rather lovely headline typo.’
YouTube – Boshboys Birthday Bash Promo Video.wmv – Help the Bosh Boys celebrate their eighteenth birthday at the Custard Factory Club and Kitchen on 17th September, because from their enthusiastic talk of ‘getting messy’ it’s doubtful they’ll live to see their nineteenth.
For the next 3 weeks Birmingham City Council’s Gallery 37 programme will be working with Blue Whale and the Birmingham REP taking over spaces in The Birdhouse complex at the Custard Factory. Expect to hear young people singing spontaneously in the corridors and see people wearing costumes inspired by the Little Shop of Horrors.
Sessions over the two days will give guests the chance to play a host of brand new games BEFORE they are released, and win some seriously cool prizes including a Sony HDTV.
The event is open to UK residents. To secure a place for you and a friend, send the Playstation Team an email at betarooms@scee.net before Monday 26th July along with your preferred date. You can choose from the following sessions:
Saturday 31st July: 6pm- 10pm
Sunday 1st August: 12pm- 4pm
Places are offered on a first-come, first served basis so don’t hang about!
