Tongiht after work I headed down to Melbourne Uni, as Katie was going to a party for William Blake's 250th birthday, put on by one of her co-workers at UMPA.. I hadn't really realised the birthday part until I got there, just knowing that it was a party and there would be readings of Blake.

Admitadly I don't know much Blake, or really any beyond the few lines at the end of 100 Summers, and the Songs Of Innocence reference. Of which, one cool thing was looking at the prints for Songs Of Innocence.

Despite that, I thought it was cool especially by how into it they were, and while not knowing a lot of Blake, I could relate to it in terms of doing that sort of thing in regards to Hops. And Katie read "Proverbs Of Hell", so I got my " Prisons are built with stones of law, brothels with bricks of religion"
, which I was happy about. I thought a lot more of the passage was Blake, but I guess the majority of it is Rumbald.
