WHAT DO GOOD THINGS COME IN...

if bad things come in threes? Taking this week as an example we will try and solve this mystery.

TONIGHT: Chris Corsano  returns to Greater Manchester for the first time in what seems like a long time to play at Islington Mill. This is something we've tried to hook up a few times over the years and we are glad that GOLDEN LAB have. Promises much, it's always a great show (1). Another great show, in our humble opinion, is 'HEROES' which returns to our screens tonight with chapter 4 or 'fugitives'. S'exciting yes, but they'll repeat it muchos so you should still go to see CC tonight. (2)

TOMORROW: Champions League returns (or begins for real, or gets exciting--depending on your viewpoint)(3) and MAD MEN (4) is on too.

WEDNESDAY: more CL(4.5) and also we take on 'START RUNNING' at SAND BAR. We are 'screening' a rare and special film entitled 'the JOKE' by James O. Incandenza. This is a silent and b+w movie(5) which will benefit from a live and improvised score from J.COLLIN(6) (thewholevoyald.blogspot.com), the boats(7) and more(8).

THURSDAY: BEAT UNHAPPENING is happening at the DEAF INSTITUTE from 8pm. Legendary Punk VIC GODARD brings his SUBWAY SECT for a rare and special performance(9). Sweet records played (10) and projections shown (11). FREE MIX CD's (12) and more.

FRIDAY: probably something good somewhere(12.5).

SATURDAY: Kaffequeria Cruise ship/cabaret-type party at Islington Mill (13.5)

Based on the 'facts' presented above, we conclude that good things  sometimes come in  thirteen and a halves but that more research is necessary to get anywhere near a real breakthrough. Anyone willing to fund such research should get in touch via email: comfortableonatightrope@googlemail.com Putting 'what do good things come in?' as the 'subject'.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, the answer, despite the idiom, is not 'small packages'. We do not believe the 'size' of a 'package' has any bearing on the quality or value within said package. We are non-size-discriminative. 
We are leaning towards thinking that the answer is probably quite a lot closer to 3 than we'd previously imagined on account of the fact that 'good things' and 'bad things' are, while subjective, still pretty evenly balanced for most people

This is a photograph of 1/4 of the poster for BEAT UNHAPPENING - Thursday 26th February 2009th year of our Lord


The reason that 3/4 of the poster are missing involves a broken scanner. 
VIC GODARD &  SUBWAY SECT perform live. Records from the 1930's, '40's,'50's,'60's,'70's,'80's,'90's and '00's will be selected and played for your enjoyment. There will be projections. There will be free mix(ed) cd's. The aim is to invoke  feelings of joy, pleasure, well-being etc. in all who attend.

Much more to mention, will soon
