Wish list?

Its already wednesday and i did not even start half of the things i wanted to finish this week, let alone finish them off. Too many appointments, too many errands, too many activities. Talking about activities, for those of you who are into design, do not forget to pay a visit to the Malta Design Week. Regrettably, I did not make it to any of the activities yet, but (hopefully) i wish to make up for it in the coming days.

Another activity I would like to attend to is the One Night Stand with the Big Band Brothers. The Big Band Brothers known for their unique brand of musical mayhem, are back. For the second year running, Daniel Cauchi and his motley crew of musicians shall be returning to the Mediterranean Conference centre on the 8th of October 2011 and shall be putting up a show entirely conceived and produced by the band named ‘A One Night Stand with the Big Band Brothers.’I happen to know one of the members so its an extra reason to go. 

Changes and Bertu!

Finally I did it. I've been wanting to combine my two blogs, Ruper Cefai's Blog and Bertoons,  for ages. They are not really both mine, Bertoons is my alter ego's, ie Bertu's! For those of you who do not know who Bertu! is, well, here is my first post about Bertu for you

Bertu is also a political cartonist. He shares a body with me and is what you might call a political animal. He lives, strives and feeds on politicians' and public figures' misfortunes.

Really and truly, both Bertoons and this blog are still running independently but they share a common design and a common navigation bar. Next thing is to integrate these blogs with my galleries site but for that I need to wait for some major changes from artmajeur.  

Bertu! will be quite busy for the next few weeks. More info about this will be given at a later date.

I will be in Valletta tonight too, most of the time at Gallery Pi, if you want a glass of wine please pop over and come and say hello.
