Weekend in Nottingham

Well this Saturday i went up to Nottingham to look around the University i hope to go to next year for the second time just to get a better feel for the place. I really do love it there and feel so at home.

After looking around i went into the city centre and looked for possible shops where Backfire could be stocked. I found a few possible places, the 2 i liked the most actually turned out to be owned by the same people haha. They stocked alot of vintage clothing and accessories as well as new upcoming clothing brands such as Lazy Oaf. I will let you all know how talks with them go about having Backfire in them.

I also went in this cool bookstore, from the outside it was very plain, but when i got inside it was a completely different world, they had comic books, anime, art, models, ahh the list was endless, there were so many books i would love to have bought including one about the graphics used for the Gorillaz but it was rather expensive so i left empty handed.

When walking past the town hall/market square there was a large group of scene/emo kids just hanging about, kind of like Christ's in Cambridge but ten times the amount of kids, i just wish i had some Backfire flyers/stickers to hand out to them.

I recently have seen ads on TV suggesting Pizza Hut are changing their name to Pasta Hut, i took this as a marketing ploy and decided that they wouldnt actually do it because pizzas sell so much better than pasta, but boy was i wrong, in Nottingham they had already changed this one place to a Pasta Hut, the place was packed and people were queueing out the door, it was mental!!


Also i came across this small independent Firework/toy store, well it wasnt really toys, more sort of circus equipment stuff. It was rather worrying seeing the amount of kids coming out of there with bags of fireworks but yeah i thought it looked pretty cool and the window display reminded me of Bonfire night which is coming up soon and a new Backfire tee that i am yet to reveal to the public.


All in all a great weekend with Stoke winning yesterday, hopefully we can keep it up and stay in the premier league this season.
