Mr Big Society
Posted in Writers' Bloc events at 13:00 on 26 May 2011
Writers’ Bloc’s latest gig, entitled Mr Big Society, takes place at 8pm on Wednesday 1st June 2011.
Nice poster don’t you think?
Various Bloc stalwarts will make their contributions but so also will some new comrades!
In an innovation there will be Writers’ Bloc badges available for sale.
The venue is The Wee Red Bar, Edinburgh College of Art, EH3 9DF. Admission is an affordable £3 if you book your ticket online, or £4 (£2 concessions) on the door.
Sadly I shan’t be able to attend as the day job intervenes (they do make me work evenings sometimes.)
But you can…
Follow the adventures of Mr Big Society and his friends!
Yes, itâs the Writersâ Bloc contribution to the big debate of our time. All the things you really wanted to know about The Big Society but were just too sensible to ask.
Original, unscholarly research on the key economic questions: What happens if you literally pay peanuts? What happens when âFairy Cakes for Fire Enginesâ collides with âLemoncake for Lifeboatsâ? Is The Big Society fact or fable? Bird or plane? Can you return it if itâs the wrong size? Will Mr Big Society, Mr Banker, Little Miss Librarian, Mr Jihad and all the other friends have the best time ever? Or will there be tears before bedtime?
A revolution of the Public Services and Charity Sector â what could possibly go wrong? Or to be more accurate, what could impossibly go wrong?
The Writersâ Bloc Think Tank will present a night of unlikely social policy â short stories that blur all distinction between fact, fiction, sense, nonsense, inaccuracy, good ideas and bonkers brainstorming sessions.
Having trouble understanding The Big Society? Just wait until weâve finished!*
