Seafront Sculpture

Before: After:
Why?

Tuesday 19 August 2008

O dear

It appears that 'o contemporary' are no more. A sign on the door informs us of the impending move to place called London W1. This might not be a disaster, for two reasons. Firstly it brings about the possibility of a 'non-review' or something called 'when the shutters go down'. Secondly I think it would be interesting for the doomsbury set to keep an eye on the comings and goings at 'O' over the next few months - my money is on an internet cafe / espresso bar. Just the thing trafalgar street needs...

Ah, At the Apex of 'what it is' to be at a meeting with two thirds of the set. Furthermore, Mocksim and I, lord lloyd did very much accomoplish achievements. Lines were drawn and things placed either side of these lines regarding "timetables". The prospect of October looms as 'an un event' - dvd -glorious/technicolour/voiceover/shostakovich.

tiktoc, tik - toc the '-' seems unnecessary. A publication and an un event. The constitution/logo/ethos/mission statement/guidelines were heralded in and, with assistance from the suitably officious, as it was 16.53, Rosemary Miller, the Doomsbury Set established a financial bolthole!

Glory of Glories, the only cloud was the fact that Italy was absent.

ONWARD!
