Heeeey, everybody!
As you can tell by the slideshow on the side, I have actually stepped out of my house and not gone eating/to a pub! I went to old Nottingham -shire and watched a show my friends Jen & Clare (The Cutting Room) had curated at the Contemporary gallery in Nottingham. It was pretty hectic and messy, and also quite funny! Plus I got to help out with some stuff (I bought a battery for a microphone and made the salad, AND got some tap water! Man, am I useful!)
I should explain really though. The show had the same premise as 'Blind Date' ("Blinda Datea!") in which there was one contestant and they had to ask questions to 3 strangers and then choose one for date! But in this version, the strangers had to multi-task whilst answering questions and so had to bounce on a trampoline, draw a picture (of the contestants choosing) and make a sandwich. So yeah, it got pretty messy, as you may expect. I should also mention that the artist who sort of made the whole show was Oriana Fox. Yeah.
Anyway, I enjoyed myself, plus I got to visit lots of artsy places (and a REALLY nice Indian restaurant) in Nottingham and sort of got a taste of what its like to be a curator!
(I also got to meet my friend's dog called Mr Snuggletons, and you should be able to see him in my photos, and I also believe he may be the largest dog in the world. Woah. He was so cute!)
And yes, other things I've been up to are just getting materials ready for the promotional Nafftastic pack I will be sending out soon. I currently have 1000 striped sweet paper bags in my bedroom. I have no idea how I'm going to use all of them as I only need a small amount...bugger!
I also got stickers I'd ordered off moo.com t'other day and they look so cool and professional! I'm made up with them! Hurrah!
Anyway, must be off, trying to tinker with my website (I have now moved to moonfruit.com and am just in the process of decorating, I'm hoping it will spruce it up over the weekend and it will be done by Sunday/Monday! So if its done by then, I will be back here to plug it! See you then!)
