As it turns out I was the next in line, standing in some other space, paying little at-tention to the no messin’ around woman behind the counter.
I stepped forward and tapped my hand on the faux marble, trying the figure out what I was supposed to be doing.
“Ah,” stammering, “I’ve come to pick up some tickets.”
She raised her eyebrow at me.
“On the guest list.” It was awkward but we worked it out. Luckily the woman behind the counter was used to dealing with people like me. She had that surly but helpful demeanor.
I walked through the milling crowd to find Ally. “Got them,” I said as she smiled and shivered, clutching her bands together and raising her shoulders to her ears. The night felt warm but cold gusts kept streaming down the street whirling up skirts and in-between legs. I clasped the tickets hard in my hand as they danced helplessly around my fingers.

The Polaroid won’t be with us much longer so as a small gesture of appreciation for our self developing friends I decided to make a Polaroid Book to remember them by. MORE
So here is a little bit of shameless self promotion. Rhubarb Rhubarb is an arts/ comedy/ theatre collective that I am apart of and we are performing our underground cult sensation “The Mad Max Remix” at the World’s Funniest Island this October. The entire Mad Max trilogy, in under an hour. Re-edited and re-scripted into the story of Max, the greatest dancer of all time. In the tradition of Hercules Returns and Bargearse the re-edited film screens silently as we actors and foley artists redub our own, decidedly funnier, story LIVE!

This song, ‘Dusty’ is taken from the album ‘Handwriting’ (2003) by Khonnor a.k.a. Connor Kirby-Long, a 23-year-old American DIY musician. This song might not be his best one, but you’ll get the idea.

Enjoy, it might very well change your life..
In an attempt to share with you some of the, in my opinion, best songs around, I’ll start with ‘New Noise’ by fellow Swedes, Refused. This song is taken from the album ‘The Shape of Punk to Come’, which might be unknown to most, but is a great and highly influential album. Released in 1998, it was years ahead of its time. Enjoy, it might very well change your life..
