Super Thursday
2008 May 29
The number of good things happening this evening is nuts:
- Fierce’s Platinum Programme is at The Edge, some of it you can drop into, some you have to book.
- Behind Closed Doors are holding the launch of The Secret Garden – an installation round the back of the Custard Factory from 6pm to 8pm.
- Fierce, again, are having a preview screening of Helen, a film entered for the Edinburgh and Sydney film festivals. That’s at 6pm (for drinks with the film at 6.30pm) at the AMC Broadway Plaza cinema. You’ll have to book yourself in on 0121 244 8080 though, no turning up unannounced.
- Creative Networks are holding their regular event at Millennium Point with a talk on how to Power Your Business With Web 2.0 from the CiB-affiliated Pete Ashton and Stef Lewandowski.
There’ll be more too, but those are just the ones I’d have hoped to make it down to. It’s a shame to miss out on things but on the other hand is great to see so much going on around town.

This obsession with Thursday in this city kind bugs me. There was fuckall going on on Tuesday and Wednesday this week yet everything’s once again piled on the 4th day. Other than the thing I’m in there are at least three things I’d like to see tonight. Very irritating.
It’s great that there aren’t enough days in the week to go around – shows the city is alive – but it’s time to get a little creative methinks.
I believe that if you sign up with Audiences Central that they offer their members a service to check for event clashes. If a few more arts organizations signed up with them maybe they could solve this? Obviously for big things its kind of “save the date” rather than publishing early which is a challenge for old media.
guess you must have missed the IKON private view and launch of their new IKON Eastside space on Tuesday then!

Care to enlighten us then? You can either be helpful or piss off. Your choice.
@Ruth: Fairy nuff! For some reason I didn’t put that in my diary despite blogging it a week or so back. My bad!
“Care to enlighten us then? You can either be helpful or piss off. Your choice.”
Is this a bad attitude?
As a punter: what are they missing that you think should be included?
