For today’s ECA I watched Jarvis Cocker and some other musicians perform a ‘jam’. As you’ll notice, I arrived just as they were finishing the sign. The idea is somewhere between Rankin Live and that hobbit of a musican from the T Mobile ads. The result was surprisingly musical: a directionless kraut-rock mercifully free of the ubiquitous bongos that usually scourge such sessions. Surprise bonus 1: later on it was accompanied by pole dancing. Surprise bonus 2: after the pole dancing this guy called Thomas Truax got on stage. At that point everything started happening at once.
It’s on for the next couple of days. Come down. Here’s the PR 411:
Free? Check.
Beanbags? Check.
Wi-Fi? TBC. I saw someone on a laptop.
Reasonably priced and endearingly named Tuck Shop? Check (but you’ve bought your own food with you right? Well done).
Employment census? Pre 5pm a good balance of employed to unemployed, a wave of high-pressure individuals moving in slowly during the evening.
If you are lucky enough to have a job you can watch the goings on from the comfort of your office. Just get ready to minimise that.

I’ll give you a wave.
