As my girlfriend is now in Bath being a hot shot designer, I have no option but to journey down south on a regular basis. My first excursion to the south-west happened to be on a glorious day which I was lucky enough to be able to share with everyones favourite (no longer local) local OG David Hopper, and as they say 'when your girlfriend's at work and Bath has nothing to offer, go to Bristol because lots of good stuff is there!' At least that's what I've heard they say.
Anyway, after texts full of rail and bus instruction from David and alot of moody public transport workers, I finally found David Hopper looking super fly in alorralorra diamond atire (to quote Cilla Black)
First we went to Lloyds which is big and round and sick! Then we went to a lovely mellow bank, but first Hopper showed me his favourite outdoor seat in the whole of Bristol. I wasn't allowed a go.
Then after alot of complaining about my sore legs we were on a bus. Usually I can't think of anything worse than a bus ride, but as I had my 'First day ticket' it was all cushdy. As an added bonus we were traveling through the roughest part of Bristol where some building were so urban that even Hoppers XXL tee-shirt were upstaged.
We had a right session at Filton skatepark with Hoppers good friend and even better skateboarder Jason Lewer who put down some ha-ha-ha-hammers for Matty's Monthly Montage. He said he wants to come and do King of the Howman this year, and if he does we're all in trouble! After seeing a Banksy piece it was time to go. An all-round lovely trip...
...especially when you've gotta come back to Mr Krishna Muthurangu's unorthodox rock'n'roll filming stylings!
PEACE!
