Items of interest found around the Internets

• Search for the stars - It looks like part of the Creative City Awards this year will be a “Birmingham’s Got Talent” competition. “Undiscovered singers, groups, comedians, magicians, acrobats, dancers and other acts can sign up for the Birmingham City Council-backed Search for a Star contest” with auditions taking place at Custard Factory later this month. I am unable to comment for fear of making a scene.
• Athletico Tortured Artists FC - A football team made up of local artists. I believe they’re welcoming new members. Entertaining blog too.
