BECKY ON: it's been a short week...

...but we've still never been as deserving of a weekend. I mean, CHECK OUT THE WEATHER!!!

Right, what's going on out there? Well, obviously the word on the street is "elephant" and if you've been on Mars and the photos below mean nothing to you, click here to get with the program. The Sultan's Elephant will be winding its mechanical way round the streets of London all weekend, freaking people out with high decibel roars, no doubt. It's all in the name of art and thankfully, not dung. Can you imagine??

Anyway, what else?

Obviously the Happy Days shopping blowout is not to be missed, happening all weekend round Brick Lane area. Snatch yourself a bagel while you're down there, mmmm baby...

Also going on all weekend in Wembley is The London Guitar Show 2006, Europes biggest guitar show, apparently. Strum on THAT.

It's gonna be swinging down on Archway Road at The Boogaloo as they kick off May with some weirder stuff than the giant elephant. There are two fab sounding shows not to miss:

Sunday - The Medieval Babes - Showtime 9pm....FREE

These girls have achieved legendary status in the last few years, singing 13th century songs while looking like they just walked out of the Baywatch set.

Monday - Declan O' Rourke  in Concert - Doors open at 7pm - advance tickets here 

Nominated for 3 Meteor Awards this year, Declan's hailed as the next big thing and a successor to Damian Rice. He begins his first of 3 shows here this month.

Also, psssst, NEWS JUST IN. Apparently "a big band" as in name, not size, will be playing at Boogaloo this month. Keep checking the website for updates...

Have a good one ya'll, and happy elephant spotting!
