The BBQ is coming. 


In anticipation of the eighties theme, I'm compiling a playlist of eighties music. Or more specifically, I'm compiling a list of sings for my buddy Jake to compile a playlist of.


Get involved in the fun on Twitter on the hashtag #horangannbbqplaylist


It was trending worldwide last night (and by worldwide I mean I'm the only one who has posted to it).


There's still time though.

The BBQ

I'm sure you're all on tenterhooks about this, but the theme for this year's BBQ is Eighties.


The possibilities are endless...better get started on my costume now though...

It's coming

It's early days, but arrangements are already underway for the summer BBQ.

The theme has been picked and so has the date. Is it wrong to be excited now, even if it's six months away?

Wait, only six months? Time to start working on my costume.

One Hell of a costume

I've already mentioned how awesome Saturday was, so won't rehash that too much. Just wanted to give props to my Mum for what was (I think) a pretty spectacular Hellboy costume. Not only did she make the Right Hand of Doom from scratch, along with the head piece, but she also spent over an hour coating me with red paint.

All in all, I think it looked pretty good. The bitch of it was getting the red out, which I was till doing yesterday. "Oh well," I said at the time, "that's Future Wez's problem".

Stupid Past Wez. That guy is a dick.

Hellboy hanging out with Clark Kent and Ken from Street Fighter. And why not?

The crossover no-one saw coming

Last Saturday was the annual costume BBQ and this year we had the split theme of Heroes and Villains and Mad Men. It was an awesome day as the photo above proves...

Dressing up is fun to do

Tomorrow marks one of my favourite days of the year...The Annual Gann/Horan Costume BBQ.


Each year me and my friends have an excuse to dress up in film/TV/comic book/any costumes of our choice and then bake in the heat of the English summer (as if) whilst getting sozzled slowly throughout the day.


No guesses why it's one of my favourite days then...  

The high cost of fame

I was at my friend Alex's birthday BBQ at the weekend, and before I managed to get so drunk that I thought I would share my karaoke version of "Baby Got Back" with the room, I had an awesome time. To be fair, I continued to have an awesome time throughout my drunkenness, it was just the next morning that I cringed with embarrassment.


Before I did I met Alex's new band, a five-piece, all female pop-rock group called "My Heroine", who were absolutely lovely (expect big things from them). One of the band members was convinced that she knew me, and seemed slightly affronted that I didn't remember her. After we established that I had never met her before, and had no shared friends except for Alex, she remembered that she had seen me from the "Jane to the Future" video that Jane's friend Ed made us as our wedding present. Obviously Alex had shown her it at some point, but it was my first ever encounter of being recognised by someone I didn't know (and to be fair, it will probably be the last).


Anyway, it made me think of how fond I am of that video, so decided to post again in it's entirety here.


Good times...
