Up The Shithole*

No, not another unsavoury San Francisco carpark practice, but the exciting news that in spite of popular demand, the late, unlamented London Lifestyle (TM) bible Shithole* will shortly be making its second online début.

The inaugural meeting was held last night in the Blue Anchor, an impromptu editorial team appointed (stand by to receive your surprise contracts) and a schedule of features for Issue 1 lovingly scrawled across the back of the Evening Standard and a number of fag packets.

Not only this but a domain name has been acquired, a vast webspace purchased, and all I need to do now is learn HTML, acquire some web design skills, locate my missing comedy talent, buy a new digital camera, develop an imagination and/or get my hair cut, and we'll be away!

In other news, I am very sad to be missing tonight's glorious, fairy-lit début gig of future post-rock legends Marineville. [BLATANT PLUG: The Star, Guildford High Street, errr, forgotten what time, £4 on the door]. I have no doubt that in a year's time I shall be frantically pretending to have been there.

Know ye of such a bird?

Why learn when you can get someone else to do it? I've even bought some special macro lenses for extreme closeups of rattan/chrome/spiders.

Woohoo! Surprise contracts on their way to both of you! We're also looking for candidates for Unnoticeable Makeover, so if you know anyone who wants to look exactly as they do now...

I like nibus, nibus says "know ye of such a bird?", which is always good. Anyway.

Once again I've embarrassed myself in front of Real People.
