What would you do if, say, you were wandering through a shopping centre, for example the Ilac Centre in Dublin, and suddenly, everywhere you looked, people started snogging each other?

Well done to The Performance Corporation for organising this in almost total secrecy. Not quite Frozen Grand Central, but still very, very good.

From Art-Lebdev Studio, Russia. Yeah, the guys who make (or claim they will one day make, and sell) the Optimus Maximus keyboard. But the Tetris Fridge Magnets (or "Tetrius", as they're called, presumably to avoid litigation) aren't as vapourwarey as the Optimus. In fact, they're stuck to my fridge right now, as in the photo.

It comes but once a year. That week that I do 70-80 hours of back-breaking work, with no overtime, and really, truly don't mind, as it's so interesting and much fun. The week 250-300,000 people descend on the town of Dun Laoghaire in county Dublin, to attend indoor and outdoor gigs, dance shows, theatre, workshops, clubs, markets and 'street events', and generally have a thoroughly excellent time.

This year, myself and herself have the pleasure of entertaining Adrian and Annie over the weekend. The Sev is arriving tomorrow, and Annie on Saturday. In between doing all those previously-mentioned hours of festival work (6 shows in 4 days, plus discussions, seminars, workshops, photoshoots, tv work, and general management and production-type stuff), I will endeavour to show them why exactly, once a year, Dun Laoghaire is the coolest place in the entire world.

As I'm kinda totally up to my tits (did I mention that already?), I don't know what's going to happen here on the LWT. If all goes according to plan, I will be 'live blogging' the entire thing, in photos (if all doesn't go according to plan, you won't hear jack from me all weekend, but that's not going to happen).

Later dudes. Updates (may or may not start) from tomorrow.

Have a quick look at this and tell me if it isn't the coolest thing one of the coolest things you've ever seen:

As mentioned earlier, my Attchoo! Festival photos are now up on Flickr. For those of you (that's most of you) who aren't aware of the Attchoo! phenomenon, it's an multicultural arts/multimedia movement, which manages to mash pretty much any kind of art you can think of into one weekend, once every two years. I have been involved as a technical adviser for about 3 years now, and last year we went down to the tiny village of Glenmalure in County Wicklow and conjoured up a bit of Hippy Magic...
