Climate Change Wave/ March in London. 05/12/09

The Climate Change Wave in London 05/12/09
Apparently 50000 people marched and waved, so a fantastic turn out! amazing atmosphere, even though we missed the starting rally due to traffic, and the actual Wave at the end due to such a massive amount of people. I read that Gordon Brown invited 25 supporters (maybe I got the numbers wrong) back to 10 Downing Street after the Wave to hear their demands.. so it was well worth it!
These are just a snippet (my favourites) of the 300+ photographs I took. Quality demonstration!

Adam Hills

Saw Adam Hills on sunday with danny at the Wedge...
I think it was the most fun I've had at a comedy gig ever.. and that's saying a lot!

He's largely inoffensive, which is quite a nice change in this medium of performance :)
He tweeted, discussed phobias, the paralympics and what he wants to teach his kids, properly interacted with the audience, did a Michael McIntyre walk, plugged a band called KUNK- who are actually sound as, check out http://www.myspace.com/kunk
and introduced a sidekick, a guy called Tom from a Hills gig in Reading who was pretty funny!
I think there's chemistry there:

It was a bit bizarre (but not surreal!) He was given 12 free Pizza's courtesy of Domino's, as a lady called claire who works there saw his blog posting of a gig in Andover (wheron he bought Pizza for himself and the audience as he hadn't had any tea) so we were all well fed :)

He's such an endearing chap and I'm so glad I got to see him, as I watch Spicks and Specks online, and I've seen quite a lot of his standup online (I have a "go you big red fire engine" tshirt!) but had never got it together to see him live before.

One of my favourite jokes:
"There was an inflatable boy who went to an inflatable school, and all the teachers and pupils were inflatable.. The boy got told off for bringing a pin into the school. The headmaster said "You've let me down, you've let yourself down, and you've let the whole school down"" :D

Here's me and Adam... I dont think he knew what to make of the hat :D

He dedicated the tour to friends that died, friends that when he saw them, made him inflate.
Thankyou Adam, you inflated me massively!
