Arcadia Discussion Zone

Carrie Kirkpatrick debuted her excellent new documentary on the Mystical Legends of Spain. Girona: City of Secrets in London's Devereux pub last night. In attendance were members of London's 'Moot With No Name' as well as special guests Patrice Chaplin, Ben Hammott, Bill Kersey, Rat Scabies, David Barrett and London's Rav Fashion designer, Namalee Bolle.

The documentary, which was original created as part of series on Mysterious Spain for ex-pats living in Spain, is now the full ownership of Carrie, so any interested parties should inquire here and I will put you in touch with her.

The footage and interviews were superb (although I might be biased) and featured Patrice and myself as 'talking heads' and was introduced by David Barrett, who provided an excellent background to the Girona story for those who were not familiar.

Here are some pictures from the night.

Patrice Chaplin and myself - fueling rumours of our stormy affair (ha!):

Thanks for the update Andy - good to hear it went well. And the photos are great.
And is it my imagination, but is Ben beginning to resemble the portrait of Sauniere shown on the front cover of his book? Surely a step too far?!
Nicole

Well he certainly didn't resemble anyone living when he rolled in in the early hours of this morning!

I can vouch for the fact that Ben only drank 6 or 7 Vodka and Cokes - no more VAM.

And I was touched that he signed my copy of his book:

"To Andy, maybe one day you will believe"

Seriously, Ben was in very good form and it was really nice to see him. We had a laugh.

Wish you could have been there VAM.

Man, I need to move to London. I am soooooooo jealous right now.

Thanks Andrew for posting these pictures. It is really lovely having faces to see that go with names

Cheers!
Paula

p.s. Vodka/Coke (tell ben that the caffeine in the Coke just ruins the vodka buzz )

You are all having wayyyyyyyyyyy too much fun without me..
I'm moving to London ASAP.
Picture of David Barrett working the room with his arm in a sling? Looks like someone worked over David. Hope that's no indication how David and Andy settle their RLC differences.

Ha! I don't think David and Andy have many, if any RLC differences, actually.

VAM.....that was so funny it made me laugh out loud at work this morning when i shouldnt have been on the tinternet.....got some strange looks i can tell you

He caught me making eyes at his true love....

I thought I'd better add another smiley here, just in case anyone took me seriously...

Pistols at 50 paces at dawn, David!

He he!
