Upcoming Events in the UK

Events, Festivals, Conferences and Meetups we’re attending or watching in the next couple of weeks:

SubtleMob
London, Thurs 12th Nov – Bristol, Fri 13th Nov – Liverpool, Sat 14th
‘as if it were the last time’ invites you to take part in a secret event this November. You’ve seen the people freeze in train stations and the mass pillow fights, well this will be a more subtle experience… If you register to take part in this event you’ll be invited to download an MP3 and turn up at a secret location to listen to the track at a specified time. When you put on the headphones you’ll find yourself immersed in the cinema of everyday life. As the soundtrack swells people in the crowd around you will begin to re-enact the England of today.

OPEN09
