Nowadays there’s so much going on you might be considering going to two or more places of an evening, and if you don’t feel in the mood you can always sneak a peek online just in case you’ve got a dose of FOMO!
Anyway back to the real world and this Thursday 23rd July it’s time for the official launch of my fave zine POLYESTER issue 3 at The Shacklewell Arms (71 Shacklewell Lane, E8 2EB) up in Dalston. Come on everyone, I’m DJing along with designer Mary Benson, /Kit Brown and Cora Delaney plus there’s a PA from Boy With Wings. Starts at 8pm, free to get in, ends at 12 midnight and issue 3 available to buy on the night!
And that’s not the only thing going on this Thursday. Naked Boys Reading: Into the Garden finds the nude literary minded gang at the Ace Hotel (100 Shoreditch High Street, E1 6JQ) thinking about flora and fauna with a set list of carefully selected passages planned for the evening. Catch up for an intellectual ‘read off’ with additional music from Duchess of Pork and hosted by Dr Sharon Husbands starting at 7pm ‘til late.
