Work for a Magazine; Andy's Man Club Oldham 2nd Birthday; Bank Holiday



Busy week ahead!

Thursday night: Smple Community: Work for a Magazine meets in Nexus Art Cafe. They are a gathering of creatives 'based in Vancouver, but have a key hold on the UK.' It's one of their 'prime territories moving forward,' and they 'need YOU to join our mission, which is essentially probing music, fashion, science and society at large, drawing compelling content into any number of formats.' I'm going to check it out, having filled their Creator-form online.  Your guess is as good as mine as to what it will be like, but Nexus has always been a great hub for creativity... and cheese toasties. 5:45pm onwards.

Saturday night: Support group Andy's Man Club Oldham celebrates their second year of running. Every Monday night a crowd of men meet at Chadderton Sports Centre to discus any problems they might have, free of judgement. The group has gone from strength to strength, with 485 people turning up to groups across the country. It's time for a party! we're meeting in Royton Band Club for drinks, a live band, food and a raffle. 7:30pm onwards.

You're probably aware it's a bank holiday: I have no plans for the Sunday as of yet. There are a few meetups on the Sunday and Monday that you can find if you want, but nothing that takes my fancy.

I whipped through another couple of free comics from Oldham Comic Con: The Avengers was a corny tale of a giant Darth-Vader-looking thing smashing up a city, so a group of superheroes (including an inexplicably female Incredible Hulk) can band together and beat them up. Vamplets: The Undead Pet Society featured some undead pets going to a creepy funfair. Nicely illustrated, but ended abruptly.
