Quick report from an internet cafe in Brighton in the south of england:

Yesterday I zoomed over to London from Brussels on the Eurostar, a high-speed 
train that goes through the Chunnel, the new tunnel that goes under the English 
Channel.

My friend Vicki Bennett, who does music under the name People Like Us, met me at 
the station. We went rigtht over to the Hayward Gallery, which was 2 buildings 
away from Waterloo Satation.  There was a huge sound art exhibit there called
Sonic Boom. Very cool stuff including things by Christian Marclay, John Oswald, 
Panasonic, etc.  By utter luck there also happened to be a performance there 
that we stumbled into, with Martin Tetreault, a canadian experimental 
turntablist.  he did a great sort of anti-dj set, very noisy.

Vicki and I then had dinner with her friend Joe Banks, who does stuff under the 
name Disinformation.  Very smart chap, and funny.  We went to an italian place 
in Charing Cross.  By that time it was getting late and we had to catch the 
train out to where vicki lives, in a little town called Lewes.  A quaint and 
beautiful little town about 7 miles from Brighton (the biggest seaside 
resort/party town in england).  Now we are there in Brighton, to see the sea and 
get fish and chips and meet some friends of hers.

In fact, we are late, so i must cut this short.  Hopefully i will have time once 
more to report in before Monday, when i will fly back home.

hope you're all well. cheerio,

smh
