things i've seen and done over the last 3 years

so this list is arts and culture specific. As its 3 years worth - hopefully the ones i'll remember will be events that will have made an impact on me (either that or my memorys getting worse than i thought) Just to clarify, i'm using arts and culture in the broadest sense....and these are the highlights, not the entirety - i haven't spent the last 3 years just lazing on the sofa you know

• pet shop boys at hammersmith - ever since west end girls - they put the drama into pop
• goldfrapp at hammersmith - Alison Goldfrapp, the woman is a legend: a coat made of feathers, a harlequin outfit that looked like a cup cake, her own wind machine
  
• madrid - amazing galleries, especially the Reina Sofia where i couldn't believe i could find all of the art i love under 1 roof: rauschenberg, guernica, calder, miro, Tàpies and Jean Tinguely's kinetic machines just in time for a fiesta: dancing at night in the streets with a brass band
• doing printmaking again - morley college - the smell of the ink
  
• henry moore - tate britain - wonderful to see but can't beat the open air as the man intended at sculpture park and kew
• turner prize - the one prize which everone loves to hate
  
• priscilla queen of the desert - when it first opened, loved the film, loved the musical
• truck festival, oxford: bellowhead a band you can't help but jig to
• milan - fashion, duomos and apperitivo time
• london school of samba - they're not kidding when they say its the most difficult latin dance
  
• Pet Shop Boys and choreographer Javier De Frutos - sadlers wells - the most incredible thing - need I say more?

things i'm looking forward to so far: miro at the tate, free summer festivals on the south bank or anywhere come to that matter, matthew bournes nutcracker
