07.09.02 We have had our first look at the exhibition and are quite pleased with how its turned out. There are a few things we would change and there are a few bits and pieces to get finished but on the whole its turned out well. The exhibition is a work in progress so it will change over the coming two months as more news and sightings are gathered.

It was quite an odd experience visting the exhibition. - The exhibition is at the top of a tall tower which overlooks the whole of Glasgow. On the day we went to visit there was a violent storm. We are sitting up there working at our desk with Brahms blaring out the radio while on all sides Thunder, Lightning and torrential rain lash down.


05.09.02 First feedback about the exhibition has been good. Apparently its not quite what people were expecting. The Lighthouse say "fantastic and very funny." which is nice.

02.09.02 So the mpf exhibition opens in the Lighthouse. Many thanks to John Argent and co who set it all up for us. Please go along to the Lighthouse museum Glasgow in Mitchell Lane (just off Buchanan St. and let us know what you think. Exhibition ends 03.11.02

16.03.02 Early in the morning we pack our bags and set off for a weeks well earned rest at a friends house in the Czech Republic.

15.03.02 We do an all nighter to get the presentation finished for the competition. Bleary eyed and having had no sleep we down tools and go to our real jobs. Later in the day we try to hand in the presentation. When we reach the Lighthouse we realise we have a problem. How do we keep our anonymity and still hand in the presnetation. While pondering this we hear a voice.
"Excuse me. Would you like to buy one of my CD's?"
We have been approached by a Hare Krishna. (His name is Cheru and he can be found on Buchanan Street) Our responce is simple, we will buy one of his CD's if he will do us a little favour. He agrees and takes our presentation and hands it in for us to a very confused Lighthouse staff.
