Sleigh Bells Are Ringing at the Patrón Silver Reindeer
The talented 'one to watch' Gary Card works some Christmas magic at the Patrón Silver Reindeer. Kicking off this Friday, Patrón Silver Reindeer is a 3-day feast from Bistrotheque's Pablo Flack and David Waddington, the pioneers behind the pop-up restaurant concept, having launched the original Reindeer in 2006. Set designer Gary Card has been brought on board to create a sensory Christmas experience without any traces of santa or snowmen.
Card says: "I managed to get away with using a snowflake as the overall theme! The idea of lapping snowflakes making really dramatic shapes was inspired by Cornelia Parker's exploding shed piece 'Cold Dark Matter'; I wanted to create something that has a sense of mystery about it, yet feels spectacular, beautiful and of course, Christmassy."
Set within Big Sky Studios, a fashion photography space located off the beaten track near Kings Cross, Patrón Silver Reindeer will take place in a 4500 sq ft studio where it will take Card and his team 9 hours to create the installation.
The gastronomic feasts created by Bistrotheque Head Chef Tom Collins, will engage guests in a theatre of eclectic English seasonal fare, as well as unique cocktails, both infused with premium spirit, Patrón Tequila. Collins says: "Guests will experience references from a seasonal English feast, with an abundance of luxury, opulence and dishes delicately infused with Patrón Tequila". Versatile and luxury Patrón Tequila cocktails will be paired to each course by Tequila aficionado, and Flack's co-proprietor of Bistrotheque, David Waddington.
Patrón Silver Reindeer is priced at £67.50 a head, and bookings can be made by calling 020 8983 7900

According to a source (a Mr. Valentine), google is set to put practically-extinct books up on their site! Books will be available as pdfs that can either be read online or downloaded onto one of those fandangled e books! Finally! A way to read a Zelda Fitzgerald novel - but unfortunately not in the bath.

El FIn.
Today I finished the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Her first and only novel originally written under a pseudonym, it tells the tale of a young woman lost in the world that is forced to seek professional help.
'Nuff said.
