A sample of previous TooManyThings Events

Event : TMT had a lovely day when OMSK - the London based film collective came to do their show at the Cube. We had a symposium in the outside sunshine about the United State of Independent Cinema and talked about the joys and hardships of being a DIY collective. The OMSK show in the evening was brilliant - they had a live compere who did a strange and dangerous dance, an ironing performance artist who wore big bunny ears and they showed loads of OMSK films - including one about a boy who knitted the ocean and another about a girl who made things happen with the power of her mind.

Event : TMT held a jumble sale where we raised some money for The Bristolian. Kayle and Mel laid the clothes and things over the cinema seats in the Cube auditorium and people weaved thier way along and around - it was like an arty labrinthian treasure hunt.

Event : On Saturday 14th December 2002, Too Many Things went on a day trip to a gallery in Wellington Street, Bristol and attended a showing of The Bristol Art Library. There was a huge beautiful cake made in honour of Thomas Chatterton and The Smallest Art Library in the world. The head Librarian of The Bristol Art Library was a very nice lady although she was quite strict and made sure you kept the rules. We also had mince pies and mulled wine to sell along with the (un)usual TooManyThings. Click here for pictures

Event : A huge TMT jumble mountain was torn down by hordes of crazed jumblers on 18th January 2003. So many people and so many things. Click here to see. It was even better than the first Jumble and the proceeds went to LadyFest Bristol . Kayle, Lucy and Mel are expert jumble sale coordinators now.

Event : 12th July 2003 - A Fate Worse than Asda: The most successful and enjoyable TooManyThings event so far. Set in the glorious Cube gardens in the baking sun, a plethora of groups and independent artists came together to sell, socialise and (involuntarily) sunbathe. The Fate Worse than Asda featured a stall by Comic Kweens (selling comics and merchandise for the then forthcoming LadyFest Bristol), Phlem Fashion sold customised and handmade fashions of extraordanairy quality and style, Naomi McCauley marked the Orange Parades in Northern Ireland with organic vegetable jewelry in orange and green and a woman called Agnes sold facial expressions at a fairly reasonable rate. There were also many more stalls - a full list will arrive here soon
