&Sam Yong

Is choice. Yes he is. But apart from just being choice, he is also an avid fan of pre-millenium movie themed beverages, Josh Holme and an amazing artist. (if you re-arrange those letters you kind of get ars-tit) He was a nominee for the Best Album Artwork Tui, for his favourite band in the ooooniverse, Midnight Youf!

He is also a member of the cult advertising band, Account Dracula (I carried him) currently touring Indian restaurants around NZ and is also a good kat who I get to see every day at the office.

&Old Queens Head

The Old Queens Head is a pub in Islington just down from where my tour guide lived. It's a haven for skinny jeans, brogues and has a rep for severely good music.
When I saw this poster I almost gizzed my pants // Coming this month! waaah? That's just cruel! I sometimes wonder why I live so far away.



But they had a kewl dog which cheered me up. Oh, and I drunk heaps.

& Granny

While I was in York last month, (yes York, England, not New York *Glamour Life) every where I turned it seemed they were there... in their little crews, looking for the next hit of the Herbal Grey. Rocking cardies, mid calf skirts and and Queen Liz fades //



Grans in formation


See bottom left. Mobilising troops



Not sure if it's just York, where my gran also lives, (spooky?) or have you noticed an increase in these grandma cliques?

Sometimes in my industry, you want to do something neat, but there is no money. That's when you have to bite the bullet and take one for the agency. Surprisingly happens more than i would like. Case in point //

&Shuffle

This is a video my 14 year old brother made. He loves this stuff. Lil' raver. He got some steez tho, much like his big brother maybe. hmm ///

&Tube

Everyone who lives in London hates it, but on my recent excursion I found it one of the best ways to judge the demographic of people in London town. From the staunch Jamaican character listening to extremely loud ragga, the attractive girl whom you make eye contact with but never muster the courage to strike up a yarn with or the worker bees doing the daily commute - a trip underground never dwindled in excitement.

What cracked me up though was how you could spot a New Zillander a mile away, maybe it's our over-exuberant 'Kiwi on tour' tone or our often shocking attire - but we stick out like Scotty Styris at a fashion show. However, when your eyes cross, you both notice what you have in common and you give each other that definitive nod from down the carriage (like your just about to carry out 'The Job') and it's kinda nice. People from down under, down under. Tour.

Olla...

This is a place where I can share. Because I like to share and there is a lot of great stuff to share.
Well, actually I have a lot more selfish reasonings. But that would be telling... or sharing....
