Awesome Sand Hotel a world first. Built by Weymouth, Dorsets sand man Mark Anderson this is a great feat of sand engineering. Perhaps it should become a semi-permanent fixture...

Weymouth Carnival - Mobility team

In an effort to have a good time and raise some much needed awareness for those of us with mobility issues, (like why aren't there double yellows in front of dropcurbs?) I thought I'd enter the carnival...

I don't know yet if anyone else in a mobility scooter or wheelchair is planning to? I've had four volunteers so far, please let anyone you know who might be interested know. I was thinking an aquatic theme?

There's not long enough for the giant, animated puppets I had in mind this year, though apparently wheelchairs and scooters make excellent bases for these...

Please email me if you or someone you know is interested

LEBSWUK- live event blogging with Nokia N95 - bcidecsidemedia and WAN

Nokia N95 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wow! 3 are giving me this phone. I wanted it for the 5Mp camera but what a toy! Basically it is the nuts and it's going to kick off my new LEBing escapade nicely. I'm sure the accelerometer will be handy too...

Live event blogging is nothing new, it is very effective for dissemination of otherwise exclusive content and is very useful as an activism tool. Also great for any festival event of gallery opening, gig etc. Combined with a youtube and facebook campaign it is THE way to get noticed on line and draw people from the web into your event and world.

Allegedly the phone should turn up tomorrow, I hope to LEB from South West Arts Contemporary Arts Exhibition at Weymouth Museum Brewers Quay 24th May - 29th June 2008 10am - 5pm.

So, if it does arrive you should see stuff straight from the gallery appearing at http://lebswuk.blogspot.com/ tomorrow afternoon...

Carnival workshop a great success

A glorious weekend saw a good turn out for a fantastic workshop. Ali and Tony from Kinetika were great sources of knowledge and Ali gave us a fascinating history of carnival, followed by a brainstorming session for a range of projects, including Spirit of the Sea.

On the 2nd day Tony demonstrated lightweight backpack manufacture and explained the range of techniques for attaching wings/puppets etc plus explaining the many detailed techniques learnt over the decades and passed among carnival engineers. Ali ran a batik workshop to provide skins for the backpack creations with some beautiful results.

Attendees included Sarah from EmeraldAnt (Spirit of the Sea - moving tides), Jenny Stiling of Weymouth Community Volunteers, Gary Jones of SWANK, several representatives from Bridport TLC, Irene Archibold of Dorchester Arts Center, and Ana and Margaret from Weymouth and Portland fairtrade. Plus of course several members from Weymouth college.

The Percy Anecdotes: Anecdotes of Shipwreck

Anecdotes of Shipwreck

Then rose from sea to sky the wild farewell,
Then shrieked the timid, and stood still the brave,
Then some leaped overboard with dreadful yell,
As eager to anticipate their grave. - LORD BYRON.
