Ben Goldacre wants to build a map of 'Nerdy Day Trips': "abandoned nuclear bunkers, dead victorian racecourses, roads that are falling into the ground, narrow gauge railways that take you to a power station, wherever. I like decaying infrastructure, terrifying modernity, and enthusiast-run museums with 6 pages of small-font text explaining every exhibit" It'd be a shame if there were none in Brum, wouldn't there.

The poster has just wet itself with excitement at the coming of Artsfest (or artsfest, or ArtsFest depending on which bit of capitalisation on the website you pick) this coming weekend. Yes, there’s a lot that isn’t especially art(s), yes with it being so big it’s a problem picking out what you’d like to do or see — but suspend your cynicism and enjoy town being busy with things other than shopping for a weekend. Think of it as ‘Brumfest’ and hang your artistic pretentions. For once tho’ the programme is online in a usable format a few days before, I’d encourage you to dig through and recommend stuff to us and each other. The Comments box is yours…
Listing if the free things going on next weekend from English Heritage.
