SUPERCANS!! Southampton '08, by stickee on Jul 14, 2008 3:53:01 GMT 1, supercans - saturday 26th July
12nooon till 1am (bar open till 3am) FREE ENTRY before 10pm
The Hobbit 134 Bevois Valley Road Southampton, Hampshire, SO14 0JZ
Ok Folks here is the rundown!
First things first.....and to clear up a few questions I have been asked
I am not the owner/landlord/manager of this place
but just a local guy putting on a free event for fun and to get some nice art in the place I go for a beer!
I DJ at this place about once a month as a getaway from my mundane low paid day job and as a result of that I was asked 2 years ago to organise a Reggae all dayer (as that is the music I DJ) So this will be the 3rd year running I have put on the all dayer for which I get some "beer money" for doing.
This year I wanted to bring in to play one of my other passions in life but seeing as midget wrestling is still frowned upon by society I went for art so I approached the guys at the place and asked if I could organise something extra in the garden to which they replied "yup, no problem"
So here we are at the first annual "Supercans"
With a budget of ยฃ0 I have been busy blagging plywood and paint and the likes to get this thing off the ground and have had a lot of support and words of encouragment from fellow forum members and this has really spurred me on. Take a look at the music flyer and well that explains that bit So back on with the Painting side.....as can be seen by the pictures the garden is HUGE and is an awesome place I have managed to secure nearly all the remaining wallspace in the garden but some of it is quite "rustic" hence the need for the plywood, and no its not so I can take it down afterwoods and Ebay it ! and the artwork will be staying up permanently
As I write this I have got about 10 artists (alot of them forum members here) lined up for the day and a few more that are gonna let me know nearer the day. ranging from straight up stencilist to paint and markers.
I have kept this thing steered away from traditional graf but is not a strictly "stencil only" event like cans festival was.
To keep in the theme of the Reggae Beach party vibe that is also going on the same day I want this to be a nice chilled out event in the sun with lots of cold beers and everyone having a good time. So I will be inviting the artist to paint the walls in their own time (this thing is on for 13 hours) and maybe do a few pieces on other mediums if they wish I for one will be bringing down a stack of cardboard to paint on to swap for pints and some canvases too!
I hope that covers most things and feel free to ask questions etc and for those that have not been to southampton before its about 90 minutes drive from central london (look it up on a map!) By prior arrangement anyone that wants to stick a tent up in my garden (room for 3-4 tents) for the night gimme a holler. The pub itself is set in a big student area and is full of nice people with a strict no chav/ d**khead policy by the doorstaff
SO please come down to sunny southampton listen to some Dub reggae and jump up and down to some ska, eat some BBQ food watch some painting going off whilst sat in a paddling pool! (now you don't get an offer like that every day!)
Peace
Stickee

I have heard of some pro Ivy leagues on this website, and that is just wrong. I would like for the world to realize that Ivy is an invasive species that destroys forests, homes, historic buildings, and is just generally the cause of too many bonerz.
did something get lost across the pond??
