Up the Tree

Last week, in a beautiful synchronicitous moment, I discovered UbuWeb through a blog I follow on Tumblr that mentioned Andy Warhol's complete diaries were available for free to download just as wink_martindale came rushing into the room with the excited announcement that tons of art films are available there for free (Brian Eno, Bruce LaBruce, Jacques Lacan, Mapplethorpe, and many many more.) Such a great resource, much like Archive.org.
Where will we ever find the time to watch, read and see all the great things that have been created (and still exist)? Oh - I know - stop watching and reading so much crap! (My New Year's resolution.)
Last night, I went out in search of a lesbian bar with B, a friend who is single, gay and doesn't know many girls in London. This city is tough for lesbian establishments: for every 50 crowded gay bars filled with sweaty men there's 1 pub in the middle of nowhere with four lesbians playing pool and a young couple nooking in the corner. Where do London lesbians go on weekends? Who do they need to know? I refuse to believe there are more gay boys than girls in this city.
Edit: Just discovered another great site through The Observer: Edge.
