We didn’t go to any festivals this year, so we
made our own.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to making your


own Festival in 4 days, with no budget and
no organisational skills whatsoever.
LIES, DAMN LIES & EMAILS
1.Call everyone you know that’s in a band
or who DJ’s and see who fancies playing.

2.Suggest that there is a big name headli-


ning.

3.Find and borrow a stage from your local


pub.

4.Create and event on Facebook and note


the secret special guests record label.

5.Create an alias Gmail account and


write to a bunch of press, media companies
and industry people, leaking the informati-
on about your secret special guest.

6.Beg, borrow and steal any or all the musi-


cal equipment needed (remember this must
be good quality or you could be running
around all day trying to fix over-heated
amps & mics).

7.Invent a semi-plausible reason why such


a huge headlining act would be playing at a
tiny festival, for example:

“Moe used to work for MTV, and through


one of his contacts there he managed to get
in contact with Daft Punk. Who happen to
be in Brussels filming a new project, and as
a favour, they have offered to play a 20-mi-
nute DJ set. I can’t believe it myself!”

8.Slowly leak the name of the headlining


act to friends that you know will spread the
story like wildfire but ask them to keep it
top secret.

9.Announce the name of your faux headli-


ning act and wait for the response.

10.Spend an evening with a renowned Bel-


gian music producer & DJ remixing snip-
pets of hilarity into your chosen act’s ear-
lier work.

11.Announce on the day, that if anyone who


just turns up for the headlining act and not
the great bands and DJs during the day,
can fuck off!

12.Find a matching pair of motorcycle hel-


mets and leather jackets.

13.Get a friend to build a pyramid stage and


release a lot of smoke.

14.Feel the force of beer cans and bottles


bouncing off your head for at least 20 mi-
nutes.

15.Hide!

GETTING PROMOTED FROM MASCOT
Last Sunday afternoon I met up with Ed in one of our -edia Britannica or a regular dictionary for that matter:
favourite bars in Brussels for a couple of drinks. It had “a columnist is a journalist who writes for publication in

“Ha, what do you mean?” I sez. All of this is just to get me to this one point – one that Ed

ICE ICE BABY
The new accessory to your personal entity
is a kid. Fuck Ray Bans, fuck white pants,
fuck tattoos, fuck pink polos, fuck stret-
chers, fuck dreadlocks, fuck expensive
shoes, fuck bank accounts, fuck Mercedes,
fuck nasty diseases, fuck designer drugs,
fuck attitude and fuck guitars: the new
must-have is a newborn, from Iceland.

Everybody knows that being cool is about


accessorising. And to do this properly, peo-
ple tend to look at what famous people are
doing. Well, the rich and the famous are
having kids: it’s not about the bling bling
around their necks any longer, it’s the little
boy glued to the hand of ‘daddy’.

Don’t just have a kid though; everyone’s


done that part of it. Create new life in Ice-
land. It’s quite easy: catch a flight, bang a
teen, walk away and enjoy the acquired sta-
tus that comes along with it. Why Iceland?
Because it’s cool and nobody wants to fuck
British teens anymore: it’s as boring as it is
a cliché. Icelandic girls are as promiscuous
as the British but are way cuter and don’t
give you shit after your magic juice starts
creating life in their belly. It’s a common fact
that Icey girls tend to be very pretty at the
age of 16. Then they start having babies and
lose their hot finesse. But nothing to worry
about: you can simply impregnate her and
then run off, because Iceland is an isolated
piece of land, far away from civilisation and
on top of that, those girls don’t mind having
a kid. Really, I heard stories about girls not
knowing who the father is and the parents
and the pregnant teen are still quite happy
about it and throw a party for the upcoming
child. So don’t be worried about legal pro-
blems, alimony or other sorts of shit when
you impregnate an Icelandic teen: it’s a free
ride one should take.

Nowadays, famous people have babies.


Look at Madonna, Angelina Jolie, or even
Christian Ronaldo, the super well-paid Ca-
sanova football player: even he is having a
kid. Obviously it is the cool thing to do but
sadly also a lot of trouble. Buying a baby in
Africa costs a shitload of money and there
are a bunch of papers you have to fill in.
Those Africans can even sue your ass – ask
Madonna. Another option is donating mo-
ney to some kid in Senegal or whatever and
he’ll send you a letter once a month with a
crappy drawing attached to it. That’s not in-
teresting at all and again, it’s simply spen-
ding too much dinero...

Of course you can have a relationship with a woman just drive around the village and get drunk by home-
in Belgium, fall in love and then decide to have a kid brewed Moonshine drinks, so chances are pretty big
with her but that’s obviously one of the sickest ideas you’ll be screwing your teenage blonde beauty queen

QUICK, QUICK, SLOW

If you’ve ever been to a bar, you’re proba-


bly familiar with the term lock-in. Usually
lock-ins are great, instead of having to go
home at the peak of your night you can keep
boozing and chasing till you collapse. What
really isn’t great about a lock-in, is if it’s at
QUICK, and you’re having to stand there
arguing with an arrogant prick who thinks
he’s God because of 5 plastic stars on his
chest denoting seniority at a fast food dump.
At this point, like me, you’re probably asking
yourself the same question: was I really ta-
ken hostage in a QUICK by the fucking ma-
nager, and why the hell am I living in a city
where that has absolutely no consequences
and there is no Burger King?

I should probably start from the beginning


though. As always, after a long night of drin-
king, nothing beats a greasy burger! My
brother and I order a “menu” but I was only
given my drink and fries and asked to wait a
minute for the burger. After about 10 minu-
tes I went to ask for it, and was told “2 more
minutes”. I went to ask a second time after
another 10 minutes, to discover the lady
who had taken my order was just walking
out of Quick in her street clothes - her shift
had ended. I had to ask for my burger again,
making it clear that I’d already waited for
more than 20 minutes… “2 minutes sir”.

After 25 minutes my coke was empty and


there were only one or two soggy, non-salted
fries left on my tray. I was so fed up I went
to the manager and demanded my money
back. He was a twat about it, but finally told
someone to get me my money. So yet again, I
was waiting, and waited another 10 minutes
for my money. Finally, I went to the manager
again and asked what the deal is, I want my
money and to get the hell out of this faux-
food dump. He called his colleague, who fi-
nally came from a back room and stretched
out a hand holding about 3 Euros in change
including 5 cent coins! I started at the ma-
nager as calm as I could “come on... Just
give me the full amount. I didn’t come here
to drink coke and eat old fries, I came here
for a burger!” At this point my rather short-
tempered brother joined the conversation.
He had stayed surprisingly calm through all
this, but when someone really starts taking
the piss… well the shit-storm gets started.
The shouting started somewhere with

GIVE US THE FUCKING MONEY,


with the reply

33
‘TU ES EN BELGIQUE, SI TU
VEUX ME PARLER TU PARLES EN
FRANCAIS’.

Of course the cliché African manager was a


first generation immigrant himself which
made it all that much more ridiculous. We
decided this was too fucked up, grabbed
the coins out of the guys hand, my brother
screamed

“CONNARD”

at the manager and we started walking to the


exit. While doing this, the manager pressed
some button, shutting the door. All hell bro-
ke loose at this point. We were screaming at
the manager to let us out, my brother was ki-
cking against the door as hard as he could,
and about 50 people who had been queuing
where now locked in with us and watching
the commotion. No one had been served for
the last 10 minutes as the staff was also wat-
ching us. After more debate he finally opened
the door and we left, hearing him say “Go cry
to your mother!”, in English…

We later called QUICK headquarters in


France to make a complaint. They were sho-
cked and said this will definitely have conse-
quences. The following day the branch lea-
der of Quick Brussels called and said he had
watched the surveillance videos, in which of
course you can’t hear anything, but instead
just see my brother kicking the door. He also
said the manager had only opened the doors
to let security in from the other exit who ar-
rived a minute after we left. They now want
to report him to the police!

Now in any other country, and especially the


USA (the inventor of fast food burger chain),
this would never have happened as Customer
Service & good reputation are at the heart of
any successful consumer service business.
Do you see Quick in the states? Do you fuck!
However when governments get involved

it leaves the public with little or no choice.

they have taken on this particular issue, is
clearly not serving the public’s interest and

WOOD CUT CHUCK

41
Thomas Amerlynck spends his days knuckle-deep playing with wood: car-
ving out patterns franticly until his face gets so red he looks like a lollipop.
We caught his work at Naked State Gallery and spotted the friendly lollipop-
faced fucker and asked if we could have some of his work to hang up at the
FUCK YOU HQ - we’re still waiting for it. Prices range from 150-300 euros.

AUTISTIC PORN
We saw this work exhibited in a dungeon so-
mewhere in Brussels and wondered who’s Z,
if he was in fact dead, and if his Chopper had
really been stolen by Bruce Willis. Turned
out he was a local artist who, like us, spent
his days working out how to look at naked
chicks and get paid for it.

FUB: Who the fuck are you?


ZM: Zuleta Miguel, or The Z. Drawer/artist
close to autism.
FUB: What the fuck do you do?
ZM: I’m finishing my drawings for you, and
you’re making me lose a shitload of time by as-
king me all these questions.
FUB: How do you compare your work to Ro-
bert Crumb?
ZM: This guy is a killer in inking, narrating
and comedy/humour. Our styles are complete-
ly different, but I learnt a lot by analysing his
inking.
FUB: Who are your clients?
ZM: To my big surprise, men AND women.
I was told a lot that even though my work is
very suggestive, it stays sexy, glam, fetish, but
never vulgar. I’m always really happy to hear
that.
FUB: Did you see or hear your parents having
sex at an early age?
ZM: I’ve got a very big capacity to erase things
from my brain… What was the question?
FUB: Are you afraid of spiders?
ZM: We don’t get along very well, actually.
FUB: Are you compensating for a small penis?
ZM: HAHA, No no, I even use it as a scarf so-
metimes.
FUB: So you do this to get the chicks/guys?
ZM: I’ve got a very big capacity to erase things
from my brain… What was the question?
(haven’t I already said this phrase?)
FUB: What are the best galleries in Belgium?
ZM: There’s Yunic and Alice who really stand
forward for their diversity and their open spi-
rit. This one is too difficult… Now, the exhibi-
tions & trade shows are full of unique pieces
that will make your eyes explode. The Comics
Festival de Saint-Gilles for example.
FUB: If there was one person, dead or alive,
that you could paint naked, who would it be?
ZM: Seffana, without hesitating.
FUB: We would go for Hitler sodomising Stalin
whilst going down on Churchill.
ZM: In this case, I’ll film, and have it on you-
tube within the hour. The world HAS TO know
about it haha.
FUB: What’s your worst sexual experience?
ZM: Now now, my world is perfect.
