Glamwire

A painting of Ganesh on the wall of the Bedroom Bar in London. As we continue on the "Road To Ganeshpuri" one of Glamwire's most cherished film projects....maybe that road must pass through the Bedroom Bar. Hmmmm. And apparently there are comedians waxing comedically on level one. Hmmmm.

Bedroom Bar, Shoreditch, London by Sean Williams

LONDON--October 8th, 2008 --The Bedroom Bar, situated in Rivington Street, runs a finely-tuned precipice in east London between the bloated bankers of Old Street and their drainpiped boho compatriots creeping in from Shoreditch and Hoxton.

Happily, there’s something for everyone here- especially as the Bedroom carries the successful Comedy Café as its subterranean sister venue. Cheap pints-a-plenty for the hard-up, and a cocktail list to enliven even the most hardy HBOS punter mean this place is one of the few locations where suits and students can rub shoulders in drunken joy.

Add in the fervent Indian décor- inclusive of giant Ganesha- and the dimly-lit corridors and plush sofas here are more than conducive to a bit of hanky-panky. The great and the good from London’s underground chilled house and techno DJ echelons flock here Bedroom each weekend, too: music, cocktails and giant elephants- what more do you

On January 23rd, 2000, in the small mining and ski town known at Telluride Colorado, at a newspaper that was, and is, in fact, called "The Daily Planet" a creature emerged from an abandoned mine shaft 14,500 feet above sea level, at a spot called Ajax Point. That creature had been born without a human head. Nay, his head was sort of a proscenium, with 18 quaint light bulbs surrounding it, and a colorful western motif miniature mural as its curtain.

Today, Playman claims to be most pleased and delighted about the way that he looks. "Hey....you people have to resort to 'face painting' and all sorts of other crap to get 'lit up'. What's up with that?" After a falling out with Daily Planet editor Bob Beer, at the 2001 Blues and Brews Fest in Telluride, at which it was discovered that Playman could not drink beer, or anything else...because he did not have a mouth.....Playman disappeared, some say back into the old mine shaft up on Ajax Mountain.

Today, here on Glamwire, he will reappear for he first time since September 3rd 2001, the day which marked the publication of his last piece in the Daily Planet, about a Telluride Film Festival film that was by the Coen brothers and was called "O Brother Where Art Thou?" We may not know where our brother Playman is today, physically,...but his agents, Benjamin Williams and Alan Rosenberg, have contacted us from downtown Telluride, specifically from the Wintercrown building on 100 Colorado Avenue, and they tell us we will soon be Telexed, thats right, Telexed, a first column, which we hear will be neither about a play nor a movie. When we get that column we assure it will appear right here, on Glamwire.
