Everything Sucks
(Let's Go Outside)
Celebrate the fall of civilisation with this millenium mashup on a plate... or maybe you could go outside, get some sunshine, touch grass, pet a cute bunny? Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards of course!

Our cupboard is empty! The last sleeping bag went this afternoon, and we've been tent-less for days now, so we're on the hunt for fresh supplies - please spread the word! Donations can be dropped at PRSC or Stokes Croft China most days... find out where & when »

Through the Lens
Sonic, sorry for accidentally making you ten years older in our tribute!
The eagle-eyed among you will have already spotted the new piece on our roller shutter. Credit to GOIN, who stopped by to paint this on their way to Upfest a few weeks back.
Check out these teeny tiny flowers blooming in our shop window!
New neighbour across the street
New paint around the corner (bottom of Hillgrove Street)
Colour coordinated rejection of the RPZ, Montpelier
Another excellent piece of toilet graffiti
