Friday 31st October 2008Eastside at HalloweenWandered down to the (newish) Eastside Projects Space![]() Friday 24th October 2008The Next Dumb Creationist ArgumentThe latest creationist argument, courtesy of New Scientist![]() All Aboard the Atheist BusLaunched on Tuesday at Midnight, the Atheist Bus Appeal![]() ![]() Atheist Bus Ad - There's probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life. Personally, I'd have preferred "There are no gods", as referring to them in the singular seems to be raising monotheistic religions to some sort of privileged position. Then again, at least you can hear Thor... Fri 17th October 2008Obama Doing Stand-upBarack Obama and John McCain both appeared at the Alfred E Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, where they swapped their normal political speeches for stand up comedy. The BBC has 3 minutes of the highlights of Obama![]() ![]() ![]() Burn After ReadingThe Electric was packed for this 8pm screening of the latest Coen Brother's movie. I'd heard mixed reviews on Radio 4 earlier in the week, but I liked it. It mixes genre's - romantic comedy, "goonie" comedy, love triangles, spy, thriller - and the characters would each be at home in one or two of these. However, they're all in the same world, and their lives are criss-crossing with each other. It reminded me of Shakespeare's "problem plays" which are hard to pigeon hole as "comedy" or "tragedy" - the problem is all in the categorisation and not in the work itself. Anyway, it was funny and suspenseful, and seemed like a little slice of life, so I'd recommend it.Weds 15th October 2008Upcoming: Mon 20th Oct - Can Britain run on green energy?I saw Neil Crumpton speak about a month ago, outlining his scheme for 100% green energy for the UK (i.e. not just the electricity). He was a great speaker, so, through Friends of the Earth Birmingham![]() ![]() Thursday 9th October 2008Richard HerringPart of the Birmingham Comedy Festival, which I have neglected this year. I booked this well in advance, as I was pretty sure it would sell out. His show this year is "The Headmaster's Son" - all about his youth at school near Cheddar Gorge and was a good as you'd expect (i.e. very good). He seems like a nice guy too. He's also got DVD of some of his previous shows, so I managed to pick up Someone Like Yoghurt which I've seen live, and also The Twelve Tasks of Hercules which I haven't! Do go see him if you get the chance, you can find a list of upcoming gigs at RichardHerring.com![]() ![]() Friday 3rd October 2008The Corner ShopThe Corner Shop by Foursight Theatre![]() Contact me: Website (at) AndyPryke.com, try use a subject which will get through my Spam Filter!
