Motor Nureone Disease Benefit Events, Saturday 16th of May

Patrick Joyce, an old friend of The Cube was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease last year. He is doing a sponsored half marathon ( in a wheelchair pushed by others ) next month to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association ( www.mndassociation.org ) , who have given him a stairlift. As their funds are used to supply equipment, and research the condition – he wants to reimburse them towards the research side.

In support of him we are doing 2 events at The Cube on Saturday the 16th of May ( a week before the marathon ). A rare outing of Annabel Other’s Bristol Art Library ( TBAL ) . . .

TBALer

. . . which will come along with a raffle, featuring BAFTA level prizes, and cake stand , with cakes made by a BAFTA winner standard baker.

In the evening there’s a cut price party night chock-full of delights . . .

Cube website update shocker!

ON THE MATTER OF THE DEFACEMENT OF ‘THE MILD MILD WEST’

Hello there, we are The Cube. We are not an organisation with a single coherent vision, more a collective of quite a few different heads and hearts, pushing and pulling in directions that sometimes happen to be the same, sometimes not. Consequently, it takes us a while to respond. Sorry about that.

Some of us thought that ‘Appropriate Media’s act against Banksy’s mural on Stokes Croft provoked interesting questions about our relationship with ‘street art’ and street culture. Some of us were quite genuinely angered at the damage done to a cherished local landmark. Most of us thought it was childish, clumsily executed, and inarticulately justified on a website that happens to be hosted on our free Arts server, Sparror.

Sparror hosting has always been about social community. The continued determination of ‘AMedia’ to remain anonymous runs contrary to the spirit in which Sparror is run, and as such their presence on our network is under review.

Tardiness, Shameful Shameful Tardiness

My humble apologies friends, for I am a lazy SONOFABITCH. Why the good lady Zuleika goes to a load of effort booking and organising all the cabert goodness and what do I do? Tell a few jokes and then forget FOR OVER A YEAR to post blogs of whata damn fine time was had by all. Well they say a picture tells a million stories, so I leave you with two pictures, one from Christmas 2007, where amongst others Vexkiddy, Boys and Dance and Pedro entertained us
Cube Cabaret Richie Paradise 2007

And fun from last March with B.A.D again, The Scarlett Vixens, and more good things than you can shake a stick at:

Anyhow, The Cabaret has been going from strength to strength, do join us this Saturday for more fun.

Big Love, Captain Richie Paradise Captain Richie Paradise x
