I had two invites to the WOW exhibition in Soho today so myself and a friend went along to check it out. There was a good hour between me and Steven finding Ganton street from the tube, but in the end, we prevailed. [I think we walked past it a few times]
I got very drunk on the free beer and spoke a lot of crap with the others there, including some Japanese. The exhibition wasn’t really much but I suppose this sort of thing happens every few years to reinforce that Japanese people are all crap buying numskulls living in a futuristic city full of life enhancing gadgets… ahem. Well, if that’s the wrong impression, why do people like this repeatedly send it out?
The good point of the WOW exhibition is that there is little annotation of all the items displayed, which does let us make our own minds up… I do think that these guys just brought back stuff to weird everyone out though.
