So Now or Never! are all set up at Harlequin Fayre and got off to a flying start, literally, when our marquee blew away in the depths of night whilst editor, Tug Wilson, was drunkenly sprawled in it watching some dubious B-movie on his PSP (which was bought and paid for properly thank you very much, not looted or anything). Cue much confused wandering about and glassy eyed mumblings (I imagine the combination of week-long riot footage and such a blustery nocturnal experiance led very much to a feeling that indeed, we aren't in Kansas anymore) until Harry K lured him into his tent for the night, probably by waving a can of Special Brew and a copy of Ilsa She Wolf of the SS in front of his confused little face. But all has been put right in time for the festivities to begin, and we present you with the wonder that is our rancid stall and fantastic travelling library, which is playing host to bedtime stories for children (so far popular sugestions have been Dr Seuss based, Yertle the Turtle and The Lorax are looking likely but do let us know if you have any suggestions) and midnight stories for grown-ups (thankfully more Roald Dahl than Ilsa She Wolf of the SS as Harry K is in charge). Behold.
Those of us left behind from the fun and frivolity stumbled about bored and looking for entertainment and came across Tales From The Cutting Room by Paul Knight . Having read it long into the early hours and thoroughly enjoyed it, I was reminded how lucky we are to have such a talented chap writing for our not so fine publication, and we do recommend you check his work out.
It seems amiss not to mention the fact that today the horrific backlash of the riots is getting in full swing, with calls for benefit sanctions, social housing evictions and the like for those convicted of taking part. There's not much more that can be said that hasn't already said, and in a far more eloquent fashion - and debating the illogical nature of the nations reaction to the weeks events is starting to feel like banging ones head against a really fucking big brick wall. That aside, we do recommend you check out this this man's thoughts , Give Our Kids a Future! A North London Unity Demonstration and, somewhat suprisingly, Russell Brand .
