Items of interest found around the Internets

• 7 days is too long but a month is appalling! - Mostyn’s back blogging after a wee break with a roundup of things that have caught his attention.
• Plus+ 2008 - call for help… - Interesting request from Stereographic who are exhibiting at the Plus+ Expo next month. They’re looking for a full size mannequin, should you have one lying around you could lend, and any discarded design - “demo prints / failed pitch designs / overruns on brochures etc…” More details at the link.
• Bacardi Custard - Very enthusiastic but also refreshingly level headed review of the Eclectricity: Boutique Autumn Festival that happened at the Custard Factory on the 18th.
  

  For the uninitiated, the Custard Factory is an urban regeneration project in industrial Digbeth on the site of – and you’ll like this – the old Bird’s Custard Factory. While by day it’s home to various Nathan Barley-style “meeja” creative outfits, by night it’s one of the best venues in Britain. When the large pool outside the main club space is drained and full of punters, you can count the amount of venues on one hand that even get close.

• Pip of 7Inch in Pick Me Up magazine - I wasn’t going to mention this but Pip McKnight from 7inch Cinema is reportedly very embarrassed so it seems worth bringing this to a wider audience.
