Dalston Superstore profile one of the organisers of the very cool Fringe! Film Festival - taking place this April - at various London venues.
I am particularly excited by Stav Bee’s creation and wish I could get up early enough for the 4 am Twitter #dawnchorus which just sounds fabulous. Maybe I will try and stay up all night … but those days seem long gone.
I recently discovered the wonderful work of Childs i Foundation, where they rely on in kind support to market themselves.
Check out their videos. The one here is a special Mothers Day one but they regularly update all their supporters via video as the founder, Lucy Buck, used to be a video producer.

I miss you, and love you, Mum.

I was last in Berlin in April and I got goosebumps when I spotted people building a new Bar 25 playground on the opposite side of the Spree, and lo and behold, it has arisen.
The photo is courtesy of electronic maestro Thomas Gandey and he reports that he ate the best steak in a long time while there, that there is room for about 2000 people and it is suitably apocalyptic and East side with all sorts going on indoors and outdoors.
Beam me to Berlin baby!
Created by local residents and street artists, this eco mural is timed to coincide with the Brighton Festival. Great idea which harnessed local community spirit too.
One of my lovely customers sent me a message today with this link.
And here is my United/World of Love line:
My heart sank a little bit. The World/United States of Love line that I created is one of the reasons that I was able to quit my full-time job. They even stole the…
