Event: Action Hero - Watch Me Fall
7 Nov 2009, 7:30 p.m.
I’m going over in a barrel. I’m leaving the cannon, hitting the ramp at 90mph and clearing ten double decker buses. I might fall. I might break my body into several pieces, but then I’ll pick myself up, dust myself off and do it all over again. This time, I’m going higher, further and faster. Tonight, I will attempt the impossible Action Hero have measured it out, done a few calculations and they’re confident … it could go either way. Come along and cheer for us, pull for us, pray for us and watch us fall. If at any point you see me on fire, don’t try and help, just stand well back and wait for my own people to be there. Join us for a night of daredevil stunts, Evel Knievel paraphernalia and music until late.

Film: Photofit
8 Nov 2009, 7:30 p.m.
Our Wunderbar-take-on-film is an event created especially for Star and Shadow and Wunderbar of documentary films presented as part of and alongside live performance and photographs. Artist Mem Morrison creates performance and installation events that use documentary film within them, but he hasnt ever presented these in a cinema, to a cinema audience before. So Photofit is a special opportunity created just for us.

This evening begins at 6pm down the road at Hangar 51 on Lime Street and will move up to the Star and Shadow at 10pm with music provided by Helictite. The Star and Shadow will open at 9pm for those who wish to move up the hill before the Scrapping has finished, and for those who would like to come along for a drink before the party starts. “When the klaxon sounds - obliterate everything in sight!” Have you ever sat in front of a computer and wanted to smash it up? Or a TV, or a cooker, or a car, or a chair…? Scrap Club gives you the chance to do just that!
