Travels with a Velociraptor: Part 1
The more eagle eyed of you may have noticed, through your love of a good dinosaur, that many Clever Girl Alcopop! sweaters have found their way into the community. From Australia to Croatia and beyond these roving jumpers have roamed – and so the magnificent Aaron (@gowmana) is charting his ‘Travels with a Velociraptor‘ – a monthly feature telegrammed in from wherever his choice of warm bodywear has taken him. Here’s part 1…
Begins:
The velociraptor makes for a great travel companion. She is gregarious and friendly, picking up compliments and turning heads wherever she goes.
Here she is in the lovely setting of the Duke of York, Belfast, beguiling the Irish with her charm and sophistication.
Ends
notes: (not sure of correct spelling of velociraptor)
Thanks Aaron!

Alcopop at the Great Escape (Friday May 11th)
We’re all going to the SEASIDE! To play the Dolphin Derby and watch some bands. We might even indulge in an ice cream or two, and we’d bloody love for you to come join us. So we’ve got together with our pals at BSM and 7 Bit Arcade to put on a little free show at the Royal Pavilion Tavern as part of the Alternative Escape on Friday 11th May!
If you were there last year (pictured), you’ll well remember that it was an understated tea party style affair, completely suitably for all the family – very polite, and not at all a debauched boozefest which ended with insane stage diving, chandaliers being ripped from the ceiling and yours truly being threatened with expulsion from the venue for ‘inciting chaos’. Put simply, it was bloody amazing – and you should TOTALLY come down this year too. We kick off at 1 in the afternoon, bands on till 2am (13 hours – yup!) with the 405 DJs till 6am. This could be the party of the Spring!
Check out the line up, remember it’s free and get there early. Last year it was one in one out from 5pm…
