Price?

We have such sights to show you

That moon globe is lush.

You being lucky/quick enough to get one doesn't make it an easy pick up - it just means it was easy for you. It was an Ed of 550 that sold out in under a minute, and several ebay listings were up before it even dropped.

I'm a member of staff and we're having our wee wrap party in Max's, open bar apparently 👀🤞

This reminds me, true story, shortly after mum died (mine, not yours), my sister and I were going through her stuff. Some members of the family wanted a few items of clothing, etc, so we were having to arrange that.

Long story-short, we found our mum's old vibrator. Not our finest hour as a family.

Picture the scene, our cheeks still damp from our mother's funeral only the day before, now my sister and I gagging and dry-heaving in our mother's bedroom.

I'd never seen such an old sex toy. Steam-powered, I believe it was. This huge thing. It looked like an anti-tank round. What followed, after we'd composed ourselves and stopped crying and scrubbing our hands in the bathroom, was an extremely intense conversation about what to do with it, our dead mother's vibrator.

I was all for throwing this out, and was partway through checking whether you can put Bakelite into the recycling bin, when my sister started saying we shouldn't be so hasty, and maybe we could sell it instead. That it was probably valuable. Collectable. It still had its box and instructions and everything.

I can do many things, most things, I'm adaptable, morally adventurous, a survivor, a bit like a cockroach, but I just couldn't bring myself to sell my dead mother's sex toy to a stranger online. Donate it to a museum, yes. Random sex archaeologist pervert, no.

It was sad, but it had to go. My sister and I, together, almost ceremonially, tossed the vibrator into a wheelie-bin, an act which in its own small way, reminded us of our mother.

PDF with the newspaper went round last week, nice surprise on page 3

If someone wants to go in the evening, they don't need a ticket.

" Evening in open hall every weekend ".
So says the rat in front of the GoMa. 😎

Just been to the show… wow… absolutely love it. I honestly don’t think I can add anything that you don’t already know and also don’t want to spoil the surprise for those still to go.

Just to have the opportunity to get up close and have a detailed look at artworks, stencils and other pieces was amazing. I also can’t believe how many original stencils have been kept and are still in tact.

Thanks to member artlike for helping with the ticket - that made today less stressful. Enjoy it when you go!
