Kirituhi Tattoo at the Great British Tattoo Show

Dooza — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:38:29 +0000

This years Great British Tattoo Show, held at Olympia, London on the 21st and 22nd of April 2012 looks set to be amazing. I will be going along but won’t be getting any work done due to financial commitments, but that doesn’t mean you can’t!

Tony Unwin from Kirituhi Tattoo will be there and available for work. Tony is the UK’s only dedicated maori, polynesian, samoan and hawiian tattau artist. He did my forearm sleeve and one day will complete my arm.

Movember 2011 – The Final Mo

Dooza — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 17:43:14 +0000

This is what I managed to grow this year. I am very happy with the results, its much better than my 2009 effort. So far I have raised £130, but as a team we raised £1,520, which is fantastic for 9 people!

I have to admit it was harder getting donations this year, as there are so many more men taking part. Everyone I spoke to knew several people who were doing it, so the money had already been donated. This isn’t a problem as the money goes to the same great place.

Globally almost £70 million has been raised in 2011, and I am sure more will come in. Its amazing to be part of something so simple to raise money for something so worthy.

Movember 2011 – The Preperation

Dooza — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:24:21 +0000

It’s that time again when men all over the country decide to grow a tasty mo for charity.

Movember helps raise money for prostate and testicular cancer research. During the month of Movember we grow a moustache and have some fun raising money.

I did this 2 years ago and raised £205. My attempt was good, but my mo was not very impressive due mainly to me being ginger and having fair hair, so it wasn’t very noticable to begin. To this end I decided to grow a beard for a month before Movember to give myself a fighting chance of having decent mo.

Tomorrow morning I will have a long over due shave. Its not been very nice, its itchy and messy and my wife hates it. I might even get a barber to give my mo some love.

If you want to donate please visit my Mo Bro page: http://mobro.co/dooza. I am part of a team with friends from work, so far we have raised £138, I am sure we can raise a lot more!

Wanted: 1 x Genexxa GX-400 Speaker

Dooza — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 18:06:10 +0000

Many years ago I worked for Tandy in High Wycombe. Somehow I ended up buying a speaker that didn’t have a partner. Its been in my possession ever since. Its a great sounding speaker, and I have always wanted to find its partner, another GX-400.

I always hoped that one day the internet would provide me with one, but sadly after all these years I can’t find one, not even a photo of one, hence why I have decided to post a photo of mine.

The speaker isn’t big, its a mere 40w at 6 ohms, but its a great speaker for the living room.

Most of its life has been spent as a centre speaker in a surround sound system, but since the amp died its been sat gathering dust in the corner. If you have one, or more likely 2, and no longer want them, please get in touch and lets talk.

Official Photo from my London to Brighton Bike Ride

Dooza — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 18:07:43 +0000

Finally the official photographers from the London to Brighton bike ride were able to identify me, and I was able to purchase this fine photo of me.

I think it was taken around the half way mark, so I was pretty tired, just about to get my second wind from the burger I had just eaten.

Phatdrop Weekender 2011

Dooza — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 12:12:53 +0000

The weekend of July 1st saw the first Phatdrop Weekender take place outside of Frome, Somerset. Its the same people who put on the Festival Weather parties, just with a different name.

I was involved last year in helping with the lighting, but due to transport issues (I only had access to my wifes Ford Ka) I couldn’t bring many lights with me.

This year I hired a van and brought all my lights. These were supplmented with 2 x Robe ColorSpot 700AT’s and 2 x GLP Volkslicht. I was really impressed with the Volkslicht, they were small but very bright. The output from the LEDs were impressive for such small moving head, and the speed was great too.

You can see more photos of the event on my Facebook Page.
