CHEADS DOES EUROPE … PT2
Having survived the Old Dart we paddled across the Channel to France: fine wine, finer women, men in striped shirts and berets, and actors urinating in the isle on international flights … sacre bleu! Unfortunately, surf was of similar rubbish quality to that we’d left behind in Cornwall. The only surf we did get was on the last two ‘lay’ days of the Sooruz Lacanau Pro, and that was only after being forced into the water by competition marshals with cattle prods.

OUTPOST
Attention art lovers! If you’ve just arrived on earth and didn’t know about the huge exhibition of contemporary street art currently floating in the middle of Sydney Harbour, you do now. OUTPOST PROJECT, on Cockatoo Island features work by the cream of Australian street artists. NEXT BY T-WORLD, features t-graphics by several artists who have worked closely with Mambo in recent years, including Jim Parry, Ben Brown and UK artist, Jody Barton.

(MAMBO) PARTY LIKE IT’S 2011!
Last week, Mambo pulled the tarp off the company Fokker, threw in a plate hors d’oeuvres and a bar fridge full of cocktails and flew the entire studio over to New York for the MAMBO U.S.A. launch party.
By the time we arrived at the Sky Lounge at the Drive In Studios (or the Mambo Plaza, as it will be known for ever more), the place was jammed full of friends and local A-list party fiends, climbing over each other’s backs to get to the Aussie beers and grilled Vegemite sandwiches.
BRINGING SEXY BACK TO THE FIN REVIEW
We don’t usually flag flattering press because the next thing we know the art department’s banging on the door wanting to know why they’re still being paid in ‘t-shirts’ and when they can expect their 2008 Christmas bonus. But on this occasion we’ve decided that recent kind words from The Financial Review might put a smile on the face of our long suffering bank manager?
CORNWALL (AND ‘CHEADS’ PART IN ITS DOWNFALL)
Thought we’d share some recent video footage, sent to us from the Mother Country by all-round Mambo star, Luke Cheadle. Euro surf has been rubbish all summer but Luke’s not a boy to raise a white flag until first weighing up his options and then squeezing another couple of $s out of the Mambo Pension Fund. Cue video: after half an hour of buggerizing around in fairly typical Newquay slop, our golden haired boy towels off and heads into town, looking for adventure. Festival noise by Fat Boy Slim.
