11:23PM - need a flat!!

I am looking to rent a room in a warehouse conversion or some kind of live/work area around North London (preferably close to Camden) or even around East London. I'm looking to pay a maximum of £150 p/w. I'm looking for a large sized room to be able to be able to work in as well as live.
About me - I'm a 36 year old single male originally from Finland, but moved to London and have been living here for 3 years. I work as a body modification artist as well as performance artist, model,film maker, jewelry maker and many other bits and pieces. I'm a quiet, friendly person that likes to party once in a while. Because of my work, I travel a lot so I'm away from London quite often.

1:55PM - Benefit for Diz, friend of TG, featuring Lucifire, Fancy Chance and many others!

NOW with extra added OPHELIA BITZ!

WHEN: SUNDAY MARCH 16th - 7-11pm
WHERE: Bethnal Green Working Men's Club
44-46 Pollard Row,
Bethnal Green,
London E2 6NB
six pounds entry

Background info:

On January 26th 2008, German citizen and UK resident Cat Le-Huy (known to his friends as Diz) arrived in
Dubai and was arbitrarily stopped at immigration.

He was stripped, searched and made to sign papers in Arabic that he didn't
understand. He was then held without charge in Dubai between January 26th and
March 5th, 2008.

Cat was carrying Melatonin, which is legally sold over-the-counter in Dubai,
and this was tested for contraband along with a sample of his urine and 0.003g
of what the Dubai authorities believed was (and which allegedly tested
positive for) hashish which was found in his bag. Cat maintains that the
alleged hashish was simply dirt.

If charged and found guilty Cat would have faced a minimum sentence of 4
years. After weeks of heavy campaigning by friends and pressure on the Dubai
authorities, Cat was released and returned to the U.K.

Although Cat has obtained a release, there are still massive financial costs
to be covered and the last few months have left Cat and his partner in tens of
thousands of pounds of debt. The fundraiser that was originally to raise the
deposit for an attorney is now thankfully a welcome home event, and any monies
raised will go to cat, with a portion being donated to the Mel 1000 fund.

Also, though Cat is back and safe, there are still many people in the same position who are not as lucky, and information on ways to keep the pressure up for their release will be available on the night.

2:07AM - This is important

Cat Le-Huy (Diz to his friends) is a dear member of the Torture Garden family, and as the moderator/owner of this journal, I am posting this because every person who reads this community is a very relevant voice to getting this message out.

If you haven't signed his petition and wish to do so, please bear in mind that insulting comments, slurs, or threats against the UAE, arabs, the middle east, etc, are not going to help his case.

for background.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


On February 10th, Cat was moved to Al Wathba Central Prison, before
test results were even concluded on the mystery .003 grams dirt that
the arresting officials allege is ‘hashish’.

The melatonin (the possession of which being what he was originally
held for) and his urine were given a second test. The results were
again negative according to the German Consulate.

The dirt was finally processed, after two weeks of
‘testing’. The result is positive according to Cat’s
attorney though the matter remains under investigation due to
incorrectly followed evidence procedures and he has still not been
officially charged.

Authorities have called on another extension for 7 days. At the
conclusion of this 7 day period, an extension will most likely be
sought for a further 30 – 40 days at which point a date for the
hearing should be arranged and will cause further delays. At such
time, his council will begin negotiations with the prosecution to drop
the case and urge for a swift deportation. If he is not successful,
Cat will have to wait a few more days for a preliminary hearing. Even
if successful, we are unsure how long it will take to deport him. If
unsuccessful, he faces 4 years imprisonment. Cat will of course be
pleading innocent at this trial.

Cat will remain in Al Wathba Prison. Al Wathba Prison is notorious for
its human rights abuses including executions, lashings, overcrowding.
With lice infested inmates competing for space on the concrete floor:

http://www.uaeprison.com/victims_injustice-uae.htm

We need to give Cat the best change of a favourable ruling at the
trial as we can. We need to raise £,500 urgently for his legal
representation. The money will be held in trust by a well known law
firm in Dubai who are partners of the UK solicitors monitoring the
case. It will be released to his advocate in instalments. If there are
any changes in circumstances and we no longer need the full
£,000 (unlikely at this point), we will refund all leftover
collections proportionally. As of 14/02/08, we have raised
approximately 20% and appreciate the amazing response so far.

Please circulate this most important appeal for financial assistance.

We need your help: we are asking for your donations--whatever you can
give--of which 100% of proceeds will go toward his legal defence fund.
Without a lawyer, Cat will very likely have no option but to plead
guilty, and we are at a critical stage in this process. Cat pleaded
with us not to let him get lost in the system and we need to do
everything we can to keep prevent this happening. Without legal
representation, he doesn’t stand a chance.

Thank you so much for your help, we couldn’t do this without
your benevolence and generosity.

Hi people,

Hope everyone attending enjoys the rubber ball this weekend!

New in the Lickorishlatex rose line are our Micro Rose Hair Clips. (Or Microses as I can't seem to stop myself calling them.)

They are small, beautifully elegant, and should probably carry some kind of government cuteness warning.

11:51PM - SCABS DVD FOR SALE!!!!

Scabs DVD

Samppa Von Cyborgs Scabs is a dark and twisted vision into the mind of a mental patient. Featuring murder, autopsies and a post appocalyptic location, that has to be seen to be believied. Is it horror? Is it comedy? Is it art? Scabs is hard to define. It's like nothing you have ever seen before and we're not kidding you, it really is different!

As well as the main film, which runs for 18 minutes, the Scabs DVD also features over an hour of extra material, including Location Scout and Behind The Scenes documentaries, as well as interviews with the director, Samppa Von Cyborg and the star, Baawo The Bee. There's image galleries by photographer Regis Hertrich, which has been textured by Samppa himself and laid alongside an ambient doom soundtrack by the legendary Deutsch Nepal (Cold Meat Industries). And of course, the main voice over is by Ginger of The Wildhearts. Rest assured, this is a unique collaborative vision never before seen on DVD.

Do not under-estimate the production. Bizarre magazine are featuring it as their movie of the month. Other underground publications are raving about it. The select few people who have seen it have claimed it to be a futuristic work of art. It's not a nice film, you'll feel dirty by the end of it and that is exactly what you are meant to feel. Forget nice Hollywood feel-good movies, this is the Underground and it's a dirty nasty place to be, with a touch of black humour here and there.

So come and visit the place you know you want to go to but have never had the opportunity to visit beforehand.

This is a limited edition first run DVD buy it now before stocks run out.

Featured on the DVD are:

Scabs (Running time 18 minutes)
Behind the Scenes Docuementary
Location Scout Documentary
Directors Commentary
Profiles/Interviews with Samppa Von Cyborg and Baawo the Bee

Trailers
