Get the KooK outta here...

Toddle off and visit the beautiful blog of Dan Crockett to buy the UK's best, and maybe only, surf newspaper. It's filled with goodness and it's printed on bright pink paper.

What more could you want?

Good times...

I can be known for being quite a committed misanthrope, but even I admit there's really nothing quite like making merry with a thousand others in the streets. Despite the beer I managed to take some photos, so here are some of the shots I found in my bag after the meander home.

I think I gave most of the Polaroids away on the day, but that's what it's best for - it feels terribly cruel to take a photo of someone, show them, then pocket it and walk off... And it's such a joyous antidote to the soul sucking of a million digital cameras.

Ps, I've given away a few more Polas today and already feel that default misanthropy fading.

Pps, We - or maybe I really mean I - should do this kind of thing more often.

A good old fashioned piss up on the street.

I went to a street party yesterday. You know... one of those things we used to do in the old days when we didn't play twitter and facebook. I made some new friends and got drunk with some old ones. Perfect. I'll get round to scanning these at some point, I guess, but in the meantime here's a glimpse of the fun we had in the sun.
