Outdoor reggae party in NEw Cross's FOrdham Park this Saturday
The forecast is cold, but may just stay dry - I think the sound will be set up on concrete so no worries about mud
An auspicious site, what with the free festivals of yore, and Shaka used to play the Moonshot - it may not be that great, but Im going for the whole day and will be working (drinking) hard to have fun

Sitting on the bok of the day
Lots of moans on local websites about the works in Ladywell dragging on well past the expected completion date, and the possibility that small businesses will go under.
AFAICS the proposed works don't benefit people in Lewisham (or indeed Ladywell) all that much and seem a lot of disruption for little gain. I can see that the streetscape will improve slightly but it was never all that bad to start, and months of road closures for little gain, plus the spending of money that could be used on other things, annoy me.
Again, AFAICS, the 'improvement' works were largely driven by, ahem, new style businesses, aka the cupcake brigade, so is it a case of be careful what you wish for?
This may run & run/explode. It's interesting in a gentrification context and I'd be interested if anyone here has a view. I can post on here without being accused of being an inverted snob or cupcake murderer ;-)
It's the long-standing small businesses I feel sorry for.

Yes - We went to celebrate my wifes 42nd birthday and had a great time - The crowd were generally much younger than I expected but there was a decent mix of people, no attitude and almost everyone was dancing (from flailing arms drunken style to some amazing jazz and hip hop dancers). We met an American b-boy who had only really been out to the wankiest Shoreditch clubs and was under the impression that British ravers were white, middle class and mostly static from the neck down. Venue is great and felt a bit like being at an 80s Family Function / Shake and fingerpop warehouse party.

Aye the Bussey is nicely dishevelled and thus "kewl"
Peknam - what Brixton wishes it still was.......
On other matters the Jam/Pram Circus at CP should re-open in the next week
Bumped into Max (Antic Ops Dir) the other day - he say they have bought the freehold and its full steam ahead etc

I discovered Blythe Hill Fields recently whilst doing a waterway and park walk up from Lewisham bus garage. What an amazing view! I walked into the park and literally 'wowed', I was not expecting that at all.
