Do you often go around knocking on the doors of blacked out buildings with no name?
How very strange.
Sorry, I've got far better things to do.

If there's a party going on? Hell yeah. Really, this is your arguement?
Anyway, I'm off, see you in October.

Why not follow them? I see Brixton buzz retweeting events from other galleries.

That's the bit I think they should drop cos it's obviously bollocksBecause they said that they like to hang out where the street drinkers are?

I don't see what's wrong with this. But the problem is Brickbox claiming that they wish to welcome just about anyone who walks in off the street. Bad move on their part.

Fair point, though I don't think it's obligatory for those that take over a venue to try and attract people who won't spend any money in there.

We already do, but this is an unfunded, spare time venture that hasn't got the time or resources to trawl through every Twitter stream trying to find any events amongst all the usual guff.
Instead, we generally rely on venues making the effort to get in touch with us and forward their event details, along with any flyers and promo information. That's something the Brick Box hasn't chosen to do, but if they do decide to send us their event details, then they'll get listed (if that's what they want, of course).
boohoo
No.
Slightly off topic but not quite. I got the impression Brixton Buzz was all about music... if not, I'll drop you a mail about any future events I run.

It's mainly about music and clubs, but we're slowly growing to cover a wider range of events. Feel free to send in your events!Slightly off topic but not quite. I got the impression Brixton Buzz was all about music... if not, I'll drop you a mail about any future events I run.

I shall be cycling through Brixton in about half an hour. Please feel free to tweet/publicise it.

The good news for those who haven't got three grand rattling about in their wallets is that Lambeth are hosting a similar free event next week.
They've advertised it too, which helps.

Perhaps it's a community art piece.

Ah great! The vaguely-worded, barely noticeable little scrap of paper in the window that doesn't bother to explain what they actually do is now back, but this time with a chunk of the message covered up. Brilliant!
It rather begs the question: How does an organisation so adept at securing vast sums of public funding manage to become so hopelessly incompetent and inept when it comes to doing something as simple as sticking up a notice in the window?
Anyone would think, well, you know....

It's a thing of some beauty and a real testament to their sincere commitment to ensure that the local community are both informed and involved.
Their poster's shit. But they do seem to have some fairly decent stuff coming up there.

Agreed for a 'creative' organisation they could really maybe use some time at some of their own workshops to learn how to design a poster tho.

It would be ace if a proper community pub returned. But I doubt it will.

kicking against the pricks...
seriously tho teuchter, likers and all the people pointing the finger at ed for getting frustrated, do you think they are making enough effort to engage or not?
how is their shit poster in any way adequate or suitable?
what could possibly be the excuse or reason a proper poster or series of posters can't be made??

I was thinking maybe a lack of money or time. But then I realised it's more likely to be because they are too busy burning babies or something altogether more sinister involving their secret supper clubs.

Three months to make a simple poster? LOL. Your excuses get more laughable by the minute.
As for the supposed lack of money, I calculate a A0 poster could be made for about 50p - even less when the place has access to arty, creative types, "well versed in providing transformative tools and essential inspiration in order to improve social, emotional, economic and cultural health for all."
