I’m busy planning a cool little event out in East London and I want to tell you about it. I felt like putting on an evening do\u00a0purely for inspiration’s sake – it’s spring but\u00a0that bounce in my step alludes me.\u00a0I felt like there were a lot of people like me who needed a\u00a0dash of invigoration, but also a\u00a0delicious bit of creative fun.<\/p>\n

So,\u00a0I had a little chat to the fabulous Kevin and Steve at the\u00a0Dalston Oxfam Shop<\/a>\u00a0(yes, the very one\u00a0that hosted that legendary Fat Boy Slim gig), as well as the\u00a0immense musician, Theo Bard,<\/a> and a few other imaginative people and together we are bringing the Climate Pik N Mix to East London. There is a bit of this and a bit of that, something to give everyone\u00a0a tasty, sweet,\u00a0thing to chew on. The climate equivalent\u00a0of a cola bottle.<\/p>\n

So, here are some of the\u00a0morsels on offer…<\/p>\n

Make
\n<\/strong>Get crafty and activistity with the Craftivism Collective<\/a>, a space for you to create with others.<\/p>\n

Swap
\n<\/strong>For the first time ever the Dalston Oxfam Shop will host a swap spot. Bring an item of clothing and exchange it for something new (to you!)<\/p>\n

Listen<\/strong>
\nThere will be live music from Theo Bard <\/a>whose lyrics will make you\u00a0a little bit joyful and a little bit\u00a0inspired.<\/p>\n

Connect
\n<\/strong>Mingle and meet\u00a0with other locals over Fair Trade wine and cheese (ooh yeah, that’s what I’m talking about).<\/p>\n

Ask
\n<\/strong>Our special guest, Shakar Abrab, a climate change officer from Pakistan\u00a0will be on hand to discuss climate change, the impacts and response from his country.<\/p>\n

Watch
\n<\/strong>Our film stations wil be screening short films from around the world that will make you think and energise you.<\/p>\n

So if there are any Eastenders reading this,\u00a0grab your stripey paper bag and come down to our Pik N Mix. It is just as fun as the one at Wooly’s but better for you and it hasn’t gone bust.<\/p>\n

Tuesday 23rd March 2010, 7:30 – 9:30pm at 514-518\u00a0Kingsland Road.<\/strong><\/p>\n

RSVP to me, Lucy AitkenRead,\u00a0on\u00a0laitkenread@oxfam.org.uk<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Check out the event\u00a0on Facebook.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

See you there!<\/strong><\/p>\n
