Visual Narratives One Week Book project research

First brief of the Visual Narratives module - making a screenprinted hotdog book in a group. We were sent around Leeds for adventures n ting, so here's what we got up to (with exciting pix):

The list we were given, with everything we did checked off. The following pictures are my favourite moments.

We bought German sausages at the Christmas market and were highly amused by the 'mustard titties'.

Chris posing in front of a statue, and the couple below walked past and commented, 'He's very beautiful!', so I took their picture (with permission!). We also stole a sandwich from Starbucks to feed the pigeons with. I say stole, but it had been left half eaten, and even though the hot chocolate in the cup was still warm, we waited for 10 minutes to see if anyone would claim it but they didn't. So we did. The pigeons enjoyed it.

Charity shop shopping next - Kieran trying on 'fabulous' shoes, and I bought a 'pin the moustache on the cowboy' game, but stuck the moustaches on various displays around Leeds. I will continue to use them well for the moustache TV drinking game.

 Hayley bought some cute salt and pepper shakers and captured them with two accordionists - one was super happy and cute, and the other was a grumpy sod. 

We bought 5 toy cars at the market for £1 and took some pictures near the dark arches, and then visited North bar, where they had an awesome wall of beer flagons (is that right?) with the regulars' names on them. I thought that was a cool local legend.

The Australian bartender, Cara, also let us try some samples of beer and told us about a Norwegian brewery that decided to brew the most alcoholic beer they could - 17.6%!! They called it Big Ass Money Stout (hahaha) and apparently brewed it with real money, then took the money out and dried it, bought some frozen pizza, and then put that in the vat too!! Unsurprisingly, it was apparently gross (unfortunately that was a few months ago and it was a limited time only). Kieran tried blue cheese for the first time and I managed to capture the exact moment he realised it was a big mistake. Hayley and I also tried on wigs! Considering cutting my hair into a bob and dying it silver now!

Anyway, we got loads of cool stories to possibly tell - my favourties are probably the Big Ass Money Stout, or just everything that happened in North Bar in general, or the mustard titty story. The others like the pigeon idea too, which could also be interesting to do. Time to get onto roughing.
