[Ad- gifted experience] The Star in Shoreditch has recently re-opened, after renovations and a name change! Previously known as the Roadtrip, Dann and I had not been to this venue before, and were excited to see all of the renovations and check out what this new hot spot had to offer.

When we arrived, we were impressed by the amount of outdoor seating this venue has! The Star in Shoreditch is very well decorated with an American theme; American flags, neon signs, and a lot of different seating! The place quickly filled up with people looking to see what this new venue was all about.

David Bowie has, arguably, been one of the most successful and talented musical artists in human history. Few creators can claim that, and fewer had successful albums released in six consecutive decades. A large part of the charm and appeal of Bowie’s work was how he twisted and changed over time, reinventing himself — as characters — with new releases. While a lot of people talk about Ziggy Stardust’s time, or the massive shift that came with Low, Aladdin Sane is easily one of the most important transformations, and The Southbank Centre has been celebrating that, and Brian Duffy’s lightning portrait that made up the front cover, with their Aladdin Sane: 50 Years celebration installation.
