Clubs, beer and art<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday saw the first all women-DJ Offline club night<\/a> at the Brixton Ritzy and it was a hoot!<\/p>\n

\"Offline<\/p>\n

Instead of worrying about what I was going to play I could just sit back and listen to the excellent selections being played. And get drunk, of course.<\/p>\n

DJs included a selection from the Actionettes<\/a>, my old chum Helen McCookeryBook (from Brighton punk band The Chefs and country band Helen and the Horns), Han , Furvert and Adrienne.<\/p>\n

\"Offline<\/p>\n

The crowd was just about the right size too: the whole point of the night is to provide a chilled out, laid back, weekend warm-up and Thursday’s crowd was perfect!<\/p>\n

On Friday morning I had to shake off my hangover pretty damn quick as I had to talk web strategy and knowingly opine about ‘the future of the Internet’ (eek!) in front of 35+ people from a well known media magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Happily, they were a sound bunch of folks and the talk went surprisingly well. Beer money earned! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"National<\/p>\n

I popped into the National Portrait Gallery afterwards to check out the BP Portrait Award 2004<\/a>. It was both inspiring and depressing.<\/p>\n

‘Inspiring’ because some of the work was absolutely brilliant. ‘Depressing’ because some of the extraordinarily talented artists were under 25. The bastards!<\/p>\n

I didn’t feel so much over the hill, as at the back of the Himalayan mountain range.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
