Cultural evenings
On Monday, a lecture by Jorge Cham, who creates the wonderful Piled Higher and Deeper comics.
Yesterday, a Mitch Benn gig - actually Mitch Benn and the Distractions. I hadn't really known what to expect of this, as I only really knew of Benn through the Now Show on Radio 4. But it was wonderful - a really vibrant live performance, and some stunning funny songs, reminiscent of Weird Al (only more topical, perhaps, and certainly more British). It turns out that Mitch is from Liverpool, has an accent that fluctuates madly, and does a very fine rendition of Macbeth in the style of Eminem.
Tonight, we're off to see Stardust, which I'm really looking forward to!
Tomorrow, less culture, at a Web2.0 discussion meeting. No idea of what to expect there!
