05 December Graffiti Spagehtti Junction

Bill Drummond drove from London to Spaghetti Junction and using white masonry paint, obliterated his previous graffiti. He then drove back to London. It was on this day that he became aware that his mind was in a terminal state of decline. It was on this day he spent almost one hour not knowing who he was or where he lived.

9th - 10th December Journey The Curfew Tower, Cushendall, County Antrim, Ireland

Paul Sullivan of Static and Bill Drummond travelled to Cushendall from Liverpool. The reason for their journey was to look through a box of seven inch 45 records that were stored in one of the cupbourds in The Tower. Paul Sullivan has a suspicion that these records might be the key to a larger and ongoing work.
