My comedy cabaret show the House of Hee Haw! will be back on stage this coming Friday, July 4th, to celebrate:
The event will be a lively celebration of Americana-style music, and a DJ spinning souful favourites, along with rock and some cowboy country music. Our growing cast of hillbillies is proud to be part of the new London country rocker club night Little Bit Country Little Bit Rock n Roll. We'll be hee hawing it up alongside a fantastic line-up of live music, and even Cheerleaders! from the dance troupe Cheer-A-Go-Go.
**Download your flyer here and bring it along to claim your
This party is going to be country fried finger-liking good fun.
*And I bet a £1 that everyone will be hee hawing it up all night. No party poopers welcome, this is dance all night, sing all night wild and wacky fun.
***Please note, the artists request that you please leave your hat at the door, following pretend cowboy, cowgirl and hillbilly fun times at the party -- so we can use the hats the next time!

For our BBQ and garden party this weekend, John & I are applying a new event standard for sustainablity, something he is working on for his job at BSI - those helpful people who set industry standards and keep us all in compliance with everything from safe building construction to guidelines for nightclub bouncers. We've got our guests thinking about sustainability with the email (below), and we've been on a bit of a scramble to find suitable supplies for the
Creating a sustainable event is a little more challenging than last year's affair, that was - use whatever, drink whatever, burn whatever and party 'till sunrise! Nonetheless, we don't think the sustainablility requirements will put a damper on the good time - in fact, it may ignite some helpful conversation and inspire new actions we can all be putting to work in our daily lives to contribute to protection of the planet's resources.
I thought anyone reading or using Vox may benefit from knowing about the event sustainability standard, for application to any size gathering:
Dear friend,
You may have heard a lot of chatter about "sustainable events" with Live Earth, Glastonbury and many others bigging up their green credentials. Well, just for "fun", we are trying to apply a standard on sustainability to this weekend's barbie because I'm curious to see how useful it actually is.
But I want to emphasise that we would rather fail to meet the standard than lessen your enjoyment of the food, drink, good company, kicking music and any subsequent tomfoolery.
This email gives you the opportunity to suggest ways in which we can improve this barbecue's sustainability. How can we minimise our energy use (in power supply, transport and anything else you can think of)? Can we make a BBQ more socially useful than simply bringing the nicest people we know together? And is there any way we can be more economically efficient and/or beneficent?
For example, we've already gone out of our way to source sustainably forested charcoal (gas might be even better but it's out of our price range and we like the charcoal taste) and all the firewood is locally sourced (and free).
If you want to know more (and who doesn't want to know more about standards?!) then have a look at www.bsi-global.com/bs8901.
John (and Lisa)
