 “We’ve made a beautiful and scary video for “The Hotel”, and now face the tricky challenge of getting it seen. Having videos on Broadsheet did wonders for me before, this one involves me being decapitated by my brother…”

Fight!

The cunning plot involved the gang posting an advert on Done Deal offering Conor’s “Beautiful Golf Clubs”, which are worth over €2000 for the low cost of €230.

Michael Hayes writes;

“I’m an architect and tutor at the School of Architecture, University College Dublin. Together with a few colleagues, I also edit a quarterly journal called 2ha which takes a particular interest in suburban space. Last year, we managed to raise enough money (via Fundit) to publish our first #6 issues. Since then 2ha has developed as a project, having been selected to take part in the international, touring Archizines exhibition as well as the 100 Archive here in Ireland. We’ve presented and chatted about all things suburban at Body & Soul, Offset and TXFM. We also recently edited last week’s issue of Le Cool. 2ha has recently returned to Fundit.ie to secure funding for 4 more issues [details below]. Thank you.”
