Andy Warhol's TV

Went to the Andy Wahol's TV exhibition at Substation on Friday night where they've re-constructed the inside of Kate Jackson's shop, Style Counsel. I think Margate really misses shops like Kate's. There was a time, not so long ago when there were quite a few antique and second hand vintage shops in the Old Town. This was before my time unfortunately. The exhibition has a nice twist to it, where kids can get a £5 voucher to take up to Scott's, another of my fave haunts in Margate and pick up an item and bring it back to the exhibition. The kids then get to keep the object after everything is finished.

2 Days Later Film Competition Screening

Those lovely people at Beeping Bush and Close Up Film will present their annual short horror film competition, 2 Days Later at a special screening at the re-opened Margate Theatre Royal on Saturday 27th of October. It's so good to see a real grass roots arts organisation from Margate putting on a great quality project. There is apparently a prze for the best fancy dress costume at the screening.
