So we’re half way through our second day at GI….so far nobody has given us any cake, but we did have a lovely lunch at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery in their cafe. First stop this morning was the Collins Art Galleryto see Pum Dunbar’s exhibit of collages and things. It is Pum. Not Pam like most people like to spell it, but that only makes her more interesting. After that, with our BBC Reporter in hot pursuit…(alright, we gave her a lift, but only becuase she was a nice lady and is called Monica)….we set off to the westend. I went on my bike, borrowed from one of the production team, thanks Kirstie :) All the same, how rude… the crew made me cycle from the city centre to the west end because there wasn’t enough room in the Quashqai. It’s really far. But I do like to cycle, so it was okay.

When we got there, we watched a man playing a big organ…he was good…obviously practices. I did my very own song too from one of the balconies overlooking the foyer. Surprised people having their lunch. Then we visited the David Shrigley exhibit where I had a chat with a lady called Ang. She said it was surreal, I thought it was fun.

Next stop is a fringe festival event called Hallelujah 2in West Princes Street. At some point in their life, everybody in Glasgow lives on West Princes Street. It’s the Andy Warhol of Glasgow. We’re going to someone’s flat….a lady called Janie Nicoll. She invited us by Tweeting at us. I hope she has tea. You’d think she would, since she’s invited 15 artists into her living room, plus all the GI visitors too. Might put a wash on while I’m there.

If you want us to visit your event next, then leave me a comment or tweet us an invite @Censta tagging it #GIPhil
