Some things for the weekend

A couple of beautiful online maps, I love the idea of rainy city stories ‘an interactive literary cityscape that enables you to click on a location in Manchester and read a story or poem set there’ http://www.rainycitystories.com/ I suspect I will be whiling away many an hour in its company

There’s a lot of LRM friendly art in Manchester at the moment – The Castlefield Gallery is hosting KISSS The Kinship International Strategy on Surveillance and Suppression which includes some gems, especially amongst the films you can choose from, although I found some of the work a little trite

http://www.cube.org.uk/ has information about a forthcoming show and critical walking tour asking how yellow is Manchester. Sounds intriguing!

I also wanted to share the blogs of a couple of loiterers who also happen to be fascinating people, clever blokes and really interesting writers.

Remember: boredom is counter revoluntionary and thinking is sexy
