Art: The Invisible Salon presents THE FINAL UNCONVENTION
This month in our new gallery space: The Invisible Salon formed with the intention to read each issue of Grant Morrison's groundbreaking comics work The Invisibles exactly twenty-five years on from when it was published. What resulted was an explosion of creativity that included art, films, music, masks, books, rituals and lucid dreaming. Marking the end of this amazing project The Final Unconvention presents a selection of this work, plus more created specifically for this show

Panel / Meetup: The Invisible Salon presents Practical Magic - A Find The Others event
6.30pm to 9.30pm
Part of this month's show in our new gallery space. With the recent publication of Alan Moore's Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic - and The Invisible Salon's own latest book The Ritual Missions - it's never been easier to learn about the practice of magic. Tonight members of the shadowy organisation known as Blank Badge - and guests - will hold a short panel discussion on the subject, followed by a chance to meet and mingle with fellow practitioners and anyone curious about what this most ancient of human studies has to teach us. Free.

Storytelling: THE GREEN KNIGHT BUT IT'S GAY
Doors 7pm for 7.30pm start
Come along for queer comedy-storytelling magic in Niall Moorjani's unique and raucous retelling of the Arthurian classic set on New Year's Eve. Follow the story of Sir Gawain and his adventures, all started by the peer-pressured, unfortunate and unsuccessful chopping-off of The Green Knight's head. Now Gawain is going to get his head chopped off in return by the miraculously still alive green knight. Disaster. But King Arthur reckons this will be grand as Gawain needs to do more manly things anyway and there is nothing more manly than taking a good head chop-off. Co-produced by Edinburgh's literary theatre company Some Kind of Theatre, THE GREEN KNIGHT BUT IT'S GAY brings this story to the modern world with deep love for the original text.
Praise for Niall's other work:
'Spellbinding' - Lost in Theatreland
'Storytelling genius' - The Scotsman
'Genius reinvention of the form' - Fringe of Colour
BACK SOON!
Retro Gaming Night
7pm
Do you like retro video games? So do we!
On the back of our board games afternoon, we realised there's a few of us who love the classic days of gaming. So we'll bring some classic consoles and games, and feel very free to bring your own.
Whether you want to play, show and tell, or just have some drinks and chat about classic video games, come join us!
At the very least, we'll have a PlayStation Classic, an N64 and a Japanese DreamCast up and running, along with anything you want to bring.
This is a free event, but if you'd be up for donating a fiver to the shop, that'd be lovely.
