Secret Wars x Conspiracy for Good
We joined the launch of Conspiracy For Good (the first alternate reality game on a large scale), hosted by youth agency Ruby Pseudo Consulting under the arches in London Bridge. With entry being secured via the donation of an old mobile phone to Envirofone and many other charitable aspects, it was definitely a worthwhile event to be involved in.
Monorex contributed to the night by running a rare one on one Secret Wars battle between Mr Gauky and Hicks. Winner Hicks kindly donated his prize of £100 to Kids Company! In the main room a stellar line up was topped by the the 2009/2010 British Beatboxing champion Reeps One who went down a storm!

Secret Wars Battle at UPFEST Bristol
After a late start, traffic filled drive and a lot of swearing at the Sat Nav by the female chauffeur (me) we finally arrived in sunny Bristol at The Urban Paint Festival! Hicks, Jebba, Riff, Reeps and I all dispersed rapidly to walk around and marvel at the impressive live art on display.
We soon stumbled across Keefy G (of Secret Wars Brum fame) and Mr Phill Blake; who was painting an amazing piece on one of the walls.
Battle time grew nearer and the guys parked up on the pavement to stratergise and sketch
As 6.30pm approached the crowd began to gather in the main room; all eyes focused on the stage at the huge battle wall. It finally kicked off after Reeps One blew everyone's faces off with a cheeky little beatbox preveiew and Keith explained what was about to go down in true Australian/Brummy drunken style.
The Secret Wars team, consisting of Hicks, Jebba & Riff had decided to mock the Upfest guys trademark robots with organic scenery, neanderthal characters and monkeys ripping apart robots!
But Snub and his team retaliated with a play on words; changing Monorex to Mono Sux.. which meant that Keith had to hold me back from jumping on stage and attacking them in a crazy act of martyrdom on behalf of Terry.
Thankfully no blood was spilled, merely paint! And the battle continued with a larger and larger crowd gathering and trying to form an opinion on what was a very close call between the two teams
The battle came to a close and the crowd was asked to vote; Secret Wars received a very impressive roar from half of the crowd but the Upfest guys on home turf were greeted with a louder crowd vote. Judges votes left the result at 2-1 to Upfest! But there was no denying in anyones mind that Hicks, Jebba and Riff produced an amazing wall!
Unfortunately a full band set up on the stage before we got a chance to get any full wall snaps..
Later that night Upfest was treated to not one but TWO insane beatbox sets from Reeps One who left everyone grinning in awe of his skills.. he even managed to melt Hick's face.
All in all it was a pretty excellent day out.. which left the guys so exhausted that they slept the whole way home in the car!
