  1. For complicated museum reasons (and just because I was curious) I was looking in the archive for an exhibition held in 1995. If you were press you could apparently get a 35mm negative as a handout.
    If you had questions you could contact "The Information Department".
    Good times.

  2. I work with archival video and imagery but on the IT side, maintaining some reformatting applications. A staff member was having issues and they gave me a link to an image that they had issue with. I downloaded it fine (obv. an issue at their end, but what?) anyway, I looked at the image and a massive double take. I've been there! I know that place. From a long time ago. So I look at the meta data. Hannibals nightclub, 1990. Exactly when it was my haunt! So weird to be dropped into my past like that. I spoke to the staff member and they are doing some gathering of images for an exhibition, and also getting... reels off 3 more nightclubs that I knew well, and was also reminiscing! Apparently they are about the same age as me :)

  3. I listen to music in my car, often from what's on my phone.

    Hummingbird by Dengue Fever was the last song that played on my phone when I picked up my kids from school before the covid lockdown began in 2020.
