Marfa

posted August 23rd,2009 by Ellen

Between Houston and Alburquerque we stayed in a little place called Marfa, which is in an area where a lot of “No Country for Old Men” was filmed. It seemed to have a burgeoning arts community within it, lead by Donald Judd the architect and installation artist who had about four galleries on the main strip. Unfortunately [...]

Food Review – Kansas City 12/08/09

posted August 19th,2009 by Robert

As you may be aware from previous reviews venues can provide food for  you rather than give you a buy out. There’s a place in Cambridge, UK,  that provided food for us once. It should have been £10 per person for  which you can make an amazing meal, but instead they must have spent  about [...]

Food Review – St. Louis 11/08/09

posted August 19th,2009 by Robert

I always get confused when I see signs for pie in America. I assume  it’s for like meat or fruit pies, but most of the time it seems to be  for pizza pie. That’s not pie! So in St. Louis we passed a place called The Good Pie, I thought it  was for pie until [...]

Thank You Notes

posted August 16th,2009 by Ellen

As everyone knows writing thank you cards is the most painfully excruciating social expectance we have in polite society. Every christmas you play with the generic body lotions your relatives bought you just to prove that they have no idea who you are, and your mum reminds you that you now have to write fourty thank you letters WITH [...]

Food Review – Lollapalooza 08/08/09

posted August 16th,2009 by Robert

So my aim of getting people to buy me food for me to review has sort  of paid off. We were asked by the people at The Cheeseburger Show to  help them review burgers! We were given two different types if burgers from the same Chicago  joint. We tried the vegetarian burger first which was [...]

Food Review – Bloomington IN 07/08/09

posted August 15th,2009 by Robert

First an apology; I’m suffering from computer problems at the moment  so I’m having to write reviews in a laborious way. For all of you  thinking I had died from food poisoning, sorry to scare you. My mum  brought me up to have a tough stomach. I know there’s a back log so  I’ll try [...]
