White Fort, black brookes and an orange front deep v? Who was having more fun at the Lisson Party..

Pistanator [quote]le car guide to blagging by a seasoned veteran:

1 - look confident, but not arrogant. You ARE on the list. If not probably your ASSISTANT fucked up
2 - know at least one useful name, but make sure you don't say "oh I'm on Sarah's list..." to Sarah.
3 - look smart and artsy. As described above, suit jacket, arty beard, arty glasses, Sidi's. OK the Sidi's may be a problem in some Mayfair clubs.
4 - mobile phone. Arrive speaking on the phone, and continue the conversation whilst trying to get in. Chances of being perceived as rude though.
5 - "the invite is at my office but I just flew in from NYC/Monaco/Tokyo/Islamabad"
6 - work in magazines. Have business card at ready. threaten repercussion in the press if not allowed in
7 - arrive with incredibly hot girl, who looks like she does NOT like to wait or queue
8 - wait for someone you know vaguely to arrive then proceed forward at the same time while chatting about last night's event
9 - find the back entrance, or the low fence
10 - practice all of the above for long enough and you'll be a regular on the secne anyway so you won't have to blag anymore

Seems like a lot of hard work an effort, just pay ya tight c***! ;-)[/quote]

Gatecrashing becomes a sport... The satisfaction of getting in is quite nice. In any case this doesn't apply to "paying" events, just to private views, openings, launch parties where it's a free for all inside and a guest list/invite only door policy.

Mouse Yorgo, lovin the fixed gear coverage in Intersection! This / last months fashion spread - did you get to look at that twonfro gear up close? My mrs is interested in the girls stuff.

thanks

twonfro is my friend Karta's brand, I saw him last night (at a GATECRASHED art party of course), and he told me he's setting up a showroom on his boat (he lives on a boat near albert bridge. Will try to find out more, going there on sat.

Cool, keep us posted.

And tell him to improve his website. It doesn't really tell us anything.

I'm interested too and didn't know you knew him.

Whoever said "there's no such thing as a free lunch" never worked in the media....

Or the music industry.

But then, it's not free. It's why wages are low.

I get free lunches too and I work in the chemicals industry. Loads of free lunches although I suppose I pay in boredom during the meetings that surround the free lunches

Those videos off the intersection website do a shit-hot job of encouraging emulation of the type of anti-social behaviour that helps to get cyclists/pedestrians killed.
The fuck-you buddy attitude that says "I've got a big car and a lot of money, I have the right to drive anywhere and anyhow I please."
A 4x4 is not a skateboard.

Bravo, top marks.

I've seen the Nissan Qashqai ad and can confirm that a 4x4 is indeed a skateboard.

...or that some lazy creatives saw the Girl/Chocolate video 'Yeah Right' and thought 'that'll do'.

are you trying to tell me that you/most of us dont have a bit of a fuck you im on a bike attitude when whizzing around london?????

i agree that people in cars need to know whats going on a bit more, pay attention an stop driving like dicks

boys and there toy will likely always show off and do stupid dangerous stuff, its the way most fellas chemistry works

Appealing to your inner-child: Go cripple a kid, clog the streets and poison the city air.

Yeah right is a bloody good vid too.

I've tried very hard to kill somebody with my bike, not enough weight, not enough speed.

I don't think encouraging any attitude other than:

concentrate, slow down, turn off the fucking music

should apply when someone is driving a two tonne kübelwagen.

Cars aren't toys - or bikes - or skateboards: FACT.

@ Ma3k: you got the DVD boxset? Now that I want. The skating through the woods in 'Mouse' is tops.

@Mouse: got a decent quality DVD rip, guess you already have one though hey?

Nope. Sounds like I may have one soon, though ;o)

Yeah cool send me an email (profile page) otherwise I'll forget.
Will either burn you a copy or lend you a mem stick.
