Zuleika Ziegfeld’s Ladyfest Cabaret – latest pictorials

Posted on September 1, 2007 by site admin mr_hopkinson

Last night was Cabaret night at The Cube, and possibly because of the association with the current ladyfest, it was full to the rafters.

I didn’t catch it all but did see a spellbinding performance from Rasha Shaheen . . .

Rasha Rocks the Cabaret

As instructed in an earlier post I, and a friend, donned our fanciest hats in the hope of getting a free paradise punch . . .

hats entertainment

. . . but must say poor Mr Paradise himself, and his punchlines, seemed to be struggling with an unreceptive audience on stage somewhat, as he presented alongside Zulieka . . .

Ba-boom tish!!

. . . many of which, rather bizarrely I would venture, would not exactly be classed as classically lady-friendly material . . !

Anyway much fun was had – documented not just by me ( and hopefully / most probably by the aforementioned Richie ), but also the tuxedoed Paul Albrecht of the Cube Orchestra . . . a mixture for your delight and perusal follows below . . .

picture this

and that

Colin Smith Night/The Death of Movieoke?

Posted on August 15, 2007 by richie paradise

Hello chums, long time no see, which funnily enough has been the problem with Movieoke…………

Anyhow more of that later. Back in July old Cube Friend Colin Smith blessed us with his unmeasurable talent. Colin played for around an hour, showcasing a lot of standards, some originals, the odd montage and frankly far too much Genesis….


Anyhow the lad done well son, he done well.

Afterwards we had Movieoke with me and Colin as usual playing a bit of mood music and playing some tunes to ‘heighten the mood’, and Tom to whip up the audience into a frenzy, problem was said audience just weren’t there, well that’s never stopped us……

An interesting musical version of The Big Lebowski there. Shamefuly we then went all a bit drama studenty with NO FILMS but suggestions by Lea (she’s the one you’ll hear yelling in the background

Now I love Movieoke and put alot of effort into it, as does everybody else, so it’s been a real disappointment to see not many people come and support it, especially when it can be so funny. I blame Max Blackout for succumbing to an interweb virus……
Rant over, expect to see Movieoke sporadically from now on I’d say, though if you are desperate for it let me know.

Ciao for now, Richie Paradise Richie Paradise

I don’t see any Method

Posted on July 24, 2007 by site admin mr_hopkinson

Double sorry for not posting that much of late ( double sorry for me cos I lost A LOT of data not so long ago that I should have go up before, and I would have had at least lo-res versions, but that’s now gone for good . . . so it goes )

I keep meaning to revisit my Cube Tv post and add more about The Blankket and Aaron Flint’s presentation about The Department of Safety but haven’t had time . . . Lisa Brook‘s Cube TV was wonderful last week, and I’m looking forward to Liam Kirby‘s tonight . . .

Anyway one busy making activity consuming me of late is this . . .

Bristol Meth at Big Chill 2007

. . . which is kind of Cubelog worthy ( “Bristol’s multimedia underground is magically transported to The Media Mix away from its usual habitat of The Cube Cinema” )

mr_h’s tv

Posted on July 10, 2007 by site admin mr_hopkinson

last week I did the first Cube TV – this is a new night for Tuesdays over the Summer where different guests choose a programme of programmes using various sources . . . I based mine on on-line stuff, particularly youtube, and Lady Lucy’s presentation style from QuWack, with onstage googling that had impressed me . . .

anyway I plan to explain a bit more, but for now here’s some links we got to see on the big screen ( and some we didn’t ) . . . oh and if you’re about tonight you can see CubeTV instigator James’ choice . . .

Fopp-shop milk notification

Posted on July 5, 2007 by site admin mr_hopkinson

From the volunteers list . . .

Hello,

as you all know Fopp’s has – after shops such as
Revolver, Imperial Records and Replay – also succumbed
to the forces of the free market, the forces of HMV
and Virgin.

This has produced the closure of the Fopp-shop on
Whiteladies Road and a box-full of several vacant milk
bottles as a side effect.

It seems that the shop has not terminated its delivery
contract and I therefore recommend going to the shop
and picking up one of the two-litre-bottles for your
own consumption.
Otherwise they will perish by passing their
sell-by-date.
Wouldn’t this be a shame?

Leave a bottle or two for the street-population.

Enjoy.

Bye,
Lea
