Step aboard the Big City Plan Bus today

The “Beyond Midnight” bus, which has more info about the Big City Plan (that will decide what happens in Birmingham over the next 20 years), is in the city centre today and Highgate tomorrow. Only just heard about this and we’re too late to let you know that it was in Ladywood yesterday. Please go along if you can, in great numbers, to find out more about the Big City Plan, have your say and show the council that we really care about our city. The details: Tuesday 13 January City Centre * 9am – 3pm, Edgbaston Street, Markets area * 3pm – 8pm, Victoria Square Wednesday 14 January Highgate * 12 noon – 3pm, Joseph Chamberlain College * 3pm -5pm, Gooch Street shops * 5pm – 7pm, Stanhope St Youth and Community Centre * 7pm – 9pm, St Martins Youth Centre Gooch Street, Highgate, Birmingham B12 Not quite sure why it’s called the “Beyond Midnight” bus, as it only seems to be open during the day and early evening. Oh well, I suppose 9am is beyond midnight. If you can eat After Eights at any time of day, we’re sure you can visit the Beyond Midnight bus too...

Birmingham: It’s Not Shit’s 11 – 11 – 11

On the 11th of November let’s create a modern ritual, a post-millennial cultural cult. Eleven hours on the eleven bus — join us. The rules: Get on the 11C at 11am (or as near as dammit) on 11/11. Get off the 11C at 10pm — 11 hours later — (or as near as dammit) on 11/11. You can get on and off the bus as many times as you like (don’t spend more than an hour off bus). Document your journey; photos, film, writing, cross-stitch, knitting, amigurumi, poetry, blog, twitter, however you like. Meet up with others as mad as you, if you want. The point: A post-cultural, post-sporting, post-everything pyschogeographical document of the city. The clockwise circling will create a centripetal force for good. The route: On the TWM site, or as a video. The practicalities: Get a free daysaver. Add to your . Facebook Event. Upcoming Event. The inspiration: This is kind of inspired by Gimpo’s 25 Hour M25 spin.

These are my links for 26th February through 28th February: South By South West Midlands – A group from the West Midlands go to South By South West Interactive. Lucky, lucky, sods, we're not jealous or anything… ;) But seriously, they're offering to spread the weird by letting youse lot tell them what to go and see (within reason I guess). 20 year plan for Birmingham – Birmingham Mail – "The Big City Plan will build on the success of Eastside which broke through Masshouse Circus, expanding the city centre with colleges, a park, offices, shops and apartments." Sucess? They haven't built anything yet… Birmingham: The Creative City – A film in parts… Lots Of Things To See And Do In The West Midlands: March 2008 « Oh. – Russ L's monthly guide contains the words "Synth Jarre Jarre Synth".

A night with the Woods, in the Heath

From Friends of the Stars… In the late 1990s in California Dorian Wood decided to track down his worldwide namesakes using the interweb and eventually got in touch with Birmingham-based Dorian Wood. Finding someone who shares your slightly out-of-the-ordinary name on the other side of the globe would be one thing, but to find out that you are both involved in the creation of strange and beautiful music is something quite altogether different. On Good Friday 21st March 2008 (Hare & Hounds, Kings Heath)we are bringing together these unique two talents to play on the same bill for the very first time. More and sounds on the FotS blog. “free entry if your name is also Dorian Wood”
