Not Just a Shop

As of today, Bangor is officially the coolest place in the UK!
Honestly!

A new 'shop' opened today - just for a few days. It's called STORE. [it's on Bangor High Street]

Basically you look at a list of titles: a sort-of menu. You pick one. Pay your money. And wait.
And these 2 cool guys perform their art.

It's so cool. And really interesting.

Here's a video of my purchase. It's called 'Hang on to Holiness.' What do you think??
(I'll post a picture of the piece asap)

If it weren't 2010 and if you were slightly more famous, I'd expect Noel Edmonds to come out with a Gotcha...
Although I couldn't quite see exactly what he was doing so it might have been fabulous.

I confess that I don't really get it. Tell us more about the experience. He mentioned 'your religious beliefs' at the end. What was that all about? And, to coin a phrase from Seven, what's in the box??

yeah the video isn't overly revealing.
Basically it's a riff on Mass (i'm pretty sure)
In the guys mouth is a white pice of blotting paper with a kind-of hook for hanging up something.
Hence, hang on to holiness.
I've got it in a box in my front room!!
Does that make it clearer?

Aw man, I knew I missed something in Bangor on Saturday.
