Hopefully with A Reasonable Cause you get a smaller slice of people which helps you see the big picture, shameless plug for the other blog I have just written.
We started the evening off with a film about drive and how money is not necessarily the gretest motivatior when it comes to cognitive and algorithmic processes. The drawing is bloody brilliant as well.
Next we had our first musician Rae Morris, who I heard at the Green Room. This girl is going to be a star, she has the ability to take everyone in the room whererever she choses to go. Have listen to her myspace. But like all great musicians you have to see her live, she is playing Night and Day this Wednesday, make sure you get down there.
In between I had time to school Owain Roberts, the legend from messner who played at our previous night, and our second musician Tom Ellis in the art of Connect 4. I gave some ribbing to my parents in my last blog, so I have to doff my cap for all the hours of Connect 4 practise. Have a wee look at Kanye West playing the great game.
We then had Sarah Davies of Manchester Friends of the Earth, who talked passionately about how she got involved with Foe, her preconceptions of the Green movement- men with beards, what she has got out of it, and that she has met some great people through it. Her three points about individual, local, and national action really struck a chord.
Our last musican was Tom Ellis an old school friend who had come up from London. It was nice having it the other way round, rather than heading down to do a gig. Tom is a stunning guitarist, with a beautiful voice. He played a mixture of his own tunes and covers. I particulary approved of the Tom Waits. Alas he didn't play the Ellis/Cashell collaboration Silly Women in Trucks, an ode to the mothers who drive around in their 4 by 4's with their toddlers in the back. But we will get him back.
Thanks to all who came. The next night is on the 17th of February
