Well
then folks, it's the last week of August - the month of glorious
weather and long weekends spent basking in London's beautiful
parks - and that means it's back to the grindstone with us all.
With you all back from holiday now, we'll be back to delivering
our legendary(ish) Daily Fixes before you even know it. But,
to get you through this last mini-week of so-called Summer,
here's another bumper offering of a feature, distraction, spotlight,
and a nugget from UJ's illustrious past. |

|
For Your Convenience |
|
|
|
It is a brave soul indeed who tackles the Oxford Street strip.
Between buggies, Spanish schoolkids with matching neon backpacks,
and the general dawdling public, it's a short but certain road
to a nervous breakdown.
So we're fully embracing these recent migrations out of the
centre scrum: Nike's
new concept store off Curtain Road is an ingeniously designed
mix of old-school gym equipment and techno touches, and makes
a welcome change to the Babylonian Tower of Niketown on Oxford
Circus; whilst Lee Jeans is also moving its new showroom out
Shoreditch way.

Shoreditch Shuffle
My, my, where to begin! For two nights in September,
the infamous Shoreditch triangle (from 333 to
AOP; the Hoxton Pony to Time For Tea) is going
to be awash with the biggest, craziest, most
frenzied mix of DJs, bands, activities, and
all round carnage imaginable, including Mama
Shamone, Akira the Don, and the Five O'Clock
Heroes.

ARTS & CULTURE:
ICA Bar/Cafe Relaunch Party Pictures
After a mini facelift from caterers Peyton & Byrne, (with Oliver
Peyton, of The Great British Menu in situ), the ICA's 'members'
bar was looking decidedly joyful for its relaunch. Candy coloured
wall tiles, champagne and with Paloma Faith on the decks, guests
were falling down the newly painted stairs by midnight.
