Today's ideas - Fistful of Dynamite & One+One Filmmakers Launch!

Today we're excited about two things, yet again. One, at the less than swanky Hector's House where friends of Bored of Brighton, Fistful of Dynamite are playing. Find their Hammond Organ-Driven Funk, slap bass, G-Funk hip hop synths, stompy glam-rock attitude and tempo changes galore on MySpace, and the event listing on Facebook. We're rather keen on them and we're not the only ones.

"In Short, Fistful Of Dynamite are the infectious bundle of happy-faced talent everybody's been waiting for…"

Have a listen.

We're also a bit excited about the One+One Filmmakers Journal Launch. It's essentially the launch of the latest issue of the One+One Filmmakers Journal, but there's also some screenings we're quite excited on. Eight rarely seen Derek Jarman films are being aired with introduction from the films' producer James Mackay. There'll also be shorts from Jeff Keen, and an exclusive video interview with Ron Peck conducted for One+One including film clips from the seminar British Filmmaker.

I've lifted quite a few of those words from the Facebook event page, and perhaps I'm just excited by the zealous use of "Exclusive" and "super". Regardless, it sounds like a nice venture. The event is free and the magazine will also be handed out at the event for free.

This is all taking place at the Red Roster Cafe - doors at 7.30pm to start at 8pm.

Today's idea - Floetics Birthday Jiggery-Pokery

Poetic Floetics returns tonight at its traditional spot of the RedRoaster Cafe after a break of a month-ish or a bit more. Today sees the event's third birthday and tonight should be an extra special one as they demand "a corwd of attentive and friendly faces to make them happy and content." So if you're into the brilliant bookings of musicians, wordsworths, and heavens forbid some good old birthday jiggery pokery, this is the one to head to.

"Hoorah. Who said poetry, music, and general arty-fart has no use in society?" they say.

Doors are at 8pm, it starts at 8:30pm. It's also quite busy and a few friends have been turned away before for their slackivity so we advice early or at least prompt arrival. It costs £3 and to grab a slot at the open mic to serenade the collective with your beat poetry, regular poetry, stories and such whatnot, be there even more promptly as it's first-come-first-served.
