This Saturday

A momentary leap back into the real world, come and look at some stuff that's not been online and listen to some nice music in beautiful Crystal Palace

Looking like this:

On Edge

Francky is one of my bestest friends. You can spot him in Piano Magic's wicked new video for their new single On Edge. He's their guitarist:



Lovin the drum-beat

Giant Frog Spawn

Last month Emma and I got strapped into a big plastic ball and thrown down a hill. It was very fun but didn't last long enough.

Afterwards we went to Bournemouth which is a very nice place.







The cute little boy on the left reminds me of Peter Kaye

Picture Palace

Right now I'm like something that knows that the disapperance of something is imminent- I can't remember what that feeling or phenomenon is called but it's like a moth with a final burst of energy flapping aggressively around the light-bulb
The disappearance is of myself from my home
Hence all of the photos of the area and my flat and friends in my flat. I'm hoarding memories
I need a change of scenery so badly
So I'm looking for a new home (still in London for now) but not having much luck
And my mind sways from...Maybe I should just stay here because... here are friends, and down the road is family, and everywhere round here is community and there's a tube line being built so I won't feel quite so cut off from the buzz of the darker, dirtier areas like Peckham, Brixton and Shoreditch;
To... I need to get out of this annoying village-esque place of thirty-somethings AND LIVE IT UP whilst I'm still in my twenties...

And there's a Cinema Campaign and it's big and on Sunday I went to the NIMBY's-are-us meeting to be met by over a 1000 people. And I didn't even know that a thousand people live in Crystal Palace never mind the 60,000 (eh?!) which somebody else suggested.

The deal with the Cinema Campaign? It's Simple:

Who wants a business orientated church in the art-deco building that used to house the Bingo Hall (once originally a cinema)?
And who wants an independent art-house cinema?

Hmmm......hmmmmmmmmm

No Brainer?

I'm a creative type, I oughta want a cinema; and I do... BUT I worry that it will yuppify this area even more that it's already yuppified over the past few years and that I should I decide to stay in the area (largely because my family are near) or should I decide to leave and then come back when I'm older and should be living somewhere like here, will property be even more costly partially as a result of a cinema?

A philosophical quagmire. I wonder if life is easier in Barnet.

Sheik and Patrick

Crystal Palace Park

The Sheik is the wife of the headless woman who stands further down to his right - they can't reach each other, but occasionally shout obscenities to each other- he calls her Numb Skull ; she calls him Pansy

Tour de Crystal Palace (mini photo expedition)

Kitty, Kitty, Meow, Meow / Time Warp

Haynes Lane Market (down the street where Pizza Hut used to be- get sucked into a time warp- there's a lady with such a treasure trove of stuff that she may as well live there. She plays trance. I'll try to dig out some photos of her.


"That's my name, don't wear it out."

I'm pleased to see Jackie is wearing pants.



Dirty Arches / Victory

Walk round the triangle past the old McDonalds.

There was once some graffiti on here which said " soon to be another estate agents or coffee shop; a big local debate about whether it was Banksy as it linked directly to a Banksy-esque Grim Reaper painted onto the wall of the then doomed Library.

"We've been waiting for our Panini's for an hour and a half."

Food for thought...are we all destined to become couples that only speak to each other over a meal when they have a complaint?

The Amber Glow continued

i have 2 uncles of the same name.

Train Journey

Down at Fraggle Rock
Tube is coming to Crystal Palace- No more beautiful peaceful moments staring into the magnificent space between platforms 3 and 4. I've taken lots of photos of and in the station over the years including this one of DJ Bailey


Stand and Deliver;
The mobile phone is the commuters best friend


Beyond me is a chamber of secrets


Dentist (because these windows look like teeth)

Nico Hogg informs us that these flats were built to protect the rest of the estate from the noise of the trains.



Green


No.
Are you sick of staring at the same train tracks with all of those eyes?
