X - it's better than....having....um.....what give the Powerpuff Girls special powers.
W - it's WAY better than having an
A - Anal examination

(shit, I thought I was really good at these)

R - no, seriously, it's Really, Really great
S - Sometime this Sunday 8th. 9pm onwards actually.

Oh, that was tough.

Basically, it's BOXWARS this Sunday. That's tomorrow. Maybe we should have told you sooner, but I think it adds to the CHAOS.

If you don't know what Boxwars is, it's basically a giant moshpit of people with cardboard armor and weapons. Lovely. Go to boxwars.co.uk and check out "media" for videos. Hilarious.

Boxwars has been getting bigger and bigger. It's f*cking amazing actually how much it's grown since it's humble beginnings, a few people following a dumb idea in the main cafe space in the Forest. Sticking on a CD and going mad.

I couldn't organise shooting pissed fish in a brewery, and the peeps organising the grand ones are away on holiday. In light of their blessings, it's time for a wee one.

Come to the Forest 9pm onwards to enjoy BOXWARS BEGAN, come with a costume if you want to participate, come A COUPLE/FEW HOURS BEFORE HAND IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A BOX IN THE FOREST! We'll try to get some stuff together, but if you have any stanley knives bring them. Ask at local shops for scrap boxes on your way to Forest.

Even if you don't wanna fight, you should come make a box, or some weapons you can throw into the mix.

Remember, Boxwars is not about seriously injuring other people. No stupid weapons. Pain is good, damage is not.

Come! Fight, or be recycled!

I will bring my DSLR and probably something to shoot video on too. May not be able to stay till the end but should still be able to get plenty of stuff.

Always with a fag in my mouth!

Good job Martin, those pictures are amazing. Is it okay if I post a select few on the 23hq website we're going to be using?

Huzzah for photos! I'm gonna send the links round the world now.

Cheers! Alex*

I'd like to keep my photos under my own 23hq account, so let me know which ones you want and I'll post them myself.

Alex - still want me to put any of these on 23hq?

lucky · Post by **lucky** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 12:43 pm

Yeah Martin. I was gonna sit down and suggest which ones to put on (I thought all of them may be too much? Dunno how much space we have on this 23thing? If limitless, stick 'em all on!), but I'll leave it up to your discretion.

Or if someone else wants to choose?

Cheers! Alex*
