Local McLocalson

welcome to todays blog, so lets kick things off with a little definition of whats going on here. Im not big on definitions but when things are new its always wise. On what iv said so far im sure you have all gathered that i am all for hand made... but it does not stop there, im also all about local. supporting local talent and the like. Local communities and events and face to face interactions. A great example of eating local is a fine establishment called 'Local burger' currently as far as im aware its one of a kind. and its in the middle of Kansas so its not so local for us Edinburgers. but i did just so happen to spend the good part of a year in the wonderful Lawrence Kansas and so i was able to emerce myself in this cullenary delight.

"Local Burger is leading the evolution of fast food with fresh, organic, local, and sustainable fare that is free of unnatural additives and preservatives. At Local Burger, we consider the special diet, the environment, the economy, animal welfare, and the health of everyone who eats our
food. At Local Burger, you'll always know where your food came
from and exactly what's in it. Try it, you'll like it!"

Everything in the place is from within a very small local catchment area. its such a obvious idea but its fantastic. i believe it to be the future !

On another local note i am going to see 'The Planes' tonight at teviot underground in Edinburgh. They are a great local band with a lot of energy and some great lyrics. You can have a listen to them on their myspace at http://www.myspace.com/theplanesuk

I think il leave it there on the local note for now. Oh but here are some pictures from my screenprinting extravaganza yesterday !:
