I now have an address: send beer!

London, June 6, 2000.

Hi again,

Just a quick one this time, to tell you all that I HAVE AN ADDRESS! I
moved into the place on the weekend. It's in Shoreditch (just off
Hoxton Rd) which is apparently a damn trendy area. It has a feel a
little bit like Ultimo.  The building is an ex-block of council flats
(there are four blocks on the estate and the one I look at through my
bedroom window is truly depressingly horrible) but it's been done up
inside. Even better, the landlord who just bought my place also just
bought a whole lot of brand new Ikea furniture for it :-).

At the moment it's just me and Steve "Slumlord" Farquhar (the landlord
-- 22 and already owns four units on the estate) but we'll get someone
else in this week and Steve will move out when he buys his next place.
So I'm getting a furnished double room in an up-and-coming trendy part
of London for 95 quid a week -- including (local) phone, cable TV,
electricity, gas, water, council tax, etc, etc. Not too bad. And here's
the best thing (you're all going to groan): it's less than 15 minutes
walk to work!

Speaking of work, it's going swimmingly. They have beers upstairs on
Friday so I hoed into the Stella and met some more people and they're
all quite friendly. Not to mention good looking (plenty of design types
around, if you know what I mean ;-). Doesn't look like I'm going to get
paid for a while though, but I'll live.

But here's the important bit... my new address! You may send Violet
Crumbles, Cherry Ripes, newly released TISM, Powderfinger and Even CDs,
cases of James Boag's Premium, Two Dogs and decent radio stations to:

Robert Atkins
[ somewhere -- email me if you want it :-) ]
Shoreditch
London, E2 8LE

Actually, if you want to send packages, it'd be better to send them to
my work address:

Icon MediaLab
Classic House
180 Old St
London, EC1V 9BP

Phone: +44 20 7549 0226 (or 020 7549 0226 if you happen to be in
London).  No home phone number yet, but I'll mail again when it's on.

That's it for now, I can't wait to hear from you all!

Cheers, Robert.
