Liverpool Wiki - everyone should put there stuff on here www.liverpoolwiki.org

Quick explanation - What is this wiki?
This is your community wiki for the city of Liverpool. We're just beginning and you can help. The Liverpool Wiki is a collective guide for residents and visitors to Liverpool created by the people here. Do you know a great park? A place to get a snack after midnight? A good place to study? A piece of Liverpool history? A hidden gem in Liverpool? Create a page or edit or add to a new one.

EVERYONE CAN EDIT THIS WEBSITE! (the wiki that is) And we need your help for it to be successful. Tell your friends and edit some pages - why not start with some Wanted Pages, or check out the Liverpool Wiki Guide, or stumble on a random page, like this one: Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse? Search for a page, if it's not there, create it!

This Week - It's all about Thursday

Thursday at the Cornerstone Jason Jones - ‘Self Observed’ by Jason Jones.
20 March - 24 April 2009
Viewing Thursday 19 March 18-20.00
‘Self Observed’ attempts to re-evaluate the typical male within contemporary painting. Drawing on aspects of the pressure and stress of modern living, work, emotional, sociological and psychological interaction, the works explore the tension and conflict that can exist, but is not necessarily seen, between the body/self and external forces, stimuli and physical surroundings.

Private View: THURSDAY 19 March, 18.00 - With performance by Cold Ones
Featuring Sarah Cooney, Alex Crocker, Grant Foster, Andy Mealor, Chris Miller, Laurence Owen and Nicholas Woods. 
Bringing together new works by seven artists from the UK and Europe, the exhibition looks at lust, exploration, sarcasm, sincerity, and desperation. The works deal with these ideas through formal manipulation and the historicity of the artists' own media.
