Tramp tale
More decorating over the weekend with a couple of rentals to amuse us. Buzz, the general knowledge version was ok. Also rented Steamboy, an anime directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, the same guy who did Akira. Started off great with a clever and detailed spin on Victorian life in England bolting on a manga story. England was the Japan of 19th century with steam engines the cutting edge of technology and a family of inventors creating the next new power source. Enter mysterious agents who want to steal the new engine, Robert Stevenson acting on behalf of the government and some spoilt brat girl for love interest. Sadly the characters' relationships didn't justify the story's direction and drama turning the film into a multi-action set-piece. Captain Picard keeps popping up on these voice-overs getting tarred with the X-men, sci-fi brush though a little thought went into the rest of the voices using Northern accents when the scenes were based in Manchester. English Steamboy site.
Viv sent me a great photo from a Flickr user reminding us of another ginger caner! Further investigation showed the owner as B3TA website creator with Dave Gorman as one of his contacts. Another one of his photos had a great story of a cross-dressing tramp on the Underground as pictured above. You've got to read the full story! Check it!
Lastly, we found out that Global Gathering this year has pulled a robotic, techno rabbit from its hat by putting on Daft Punk. Apparently, they're only doing 6 live gigs this year with only one in the UK. Tickets offered at the moment are weekend camping but last year we did the Friday night only for Underworld so we're hoping different tickets will go on sale soon.
