2007 International Magic Convention, London
Last weekend, I was in London for this year’s International Magic Convention run by the MacMillan Family.

2007 Philippines World Pool Championships
Last week saw this year’s edition of the World Pool Championships taking place in Manilla in The Philippines. What a lot of you may not know is that Pool is HUGE over there.

Foo Fighters, SECC, 9 November 2007

Foo Fighters at T On The Fringe, 21 August 2007
