The Bees Knees Dance...
The Bees Knees Dance from Rob Ellis on Vimeo.
Wiley can keep his Cha Cha Slide dance, we've got the Bees Knees Wobble. We took this in Bristol, but due to our lack of internet speedage have had to keep it on the sidelines. The dance is performed by Miss Kerry Whitson. Good moves Kerry. We think you're onto something there lady. x

Hold Your Horses....
That's not it is is?
Nope, we're hunting around like men possessed to have our closing exhibition in London Town (somewhere). We're home, but not quite finished. We'll keep you posted on where and when we'll be setting up the Pleasure Bus Mobile Art gallery very soon.
Also, we'll be putting up a Pleasure Bus Tour Shop in a bit. We'll be selling any art work that hasn't been snaffled, so anyone who couldn't make it to any of the destinations can still get bag themselves some arty goodness. Apparently this internet shopping is all the rage nowadays.

Thankyou to everyone who made the Pleasure Bus Tour an absolute pleasure. You're all the Bees Knees.

One day we'll be back to set up the mobile art gallery in Nottingham, just bigger, and with more forethought. Alhtough it was a total bummer not setting up the gallery, we discovered some cracking creative peeps. Nottingham has a an abundance of Creative Talent and the Art scene is Well exciting. If you're in Notts head up to the Shop and look out for Moot art gallery. Fresh & super friendly. Catch you soon Notts.
Big bus love to Rod & Lizzy too.

We made the most of our unexpected day off and went and had a really good time. We headed to Altonia Towerinos. We did the Nemesis, Air, Willy Wonka's, Corckscrew, Rapids, The Wetpants, but our favourites have to be Rita & Screwball Pinball. Rita, the Queen of Speed was like a bullet. Much faster than the Pleasure Bus. And the Pinball one, was just plain stupid. Loved it.

Pleasure Bus opens for one man in a van. He took the picture, then got back to reading The Sun. Then we got out of there.
Robin Hood

The Pleasure Bus escaped to the Sherwood Forest and hooked up with Robin Hood and his band of merry men to hatch a plan to overthrow the Sheriff. The best plan was to set up the Pleasure Bus Mobile art gallery in the Forest. Not a great plan. But still a plan.

Sheriffs Runs Pleasure Bus out of Nottingham
Bad news guys, the Sheriffs of Nottingham, have forced the pleasure bus to flee, so Nottingham is cancelled (for now).
Apologies to all the lovely Nottingham folk who would have loved to have visited the Pleasure Bus Tour. We're gutted too. We love Nottingham, and one day hope to return, to overthrow the big bad sheriffs who crush our fun with their parking, trading and health and safety laws.
We know it's not the same, but the shop will be available online in a few weeks, and we'll make sure those who missed out on getting bees knee'd are justly stickered up.
Now, to the woods, we need to hatch a plan to overthrow these kill joy sheriffs.

Search & Tat.

Today we visited lots of cracking shops and places in search of a place to set up the Pleasure Bus Mobile Art gallery tommorrow (Weds). we took in some brilliant galleries, studios, the castle and many many shops and are awaiting a green light from some very special people before we let on where we'll be.
As well as hunting for a venue we snapped some tourist attractions (bagging some arty finds - check our flickr) and the did some obligatory shopping. Nottingham is packed full of gud stuff to snaffle. I bought a compulsory Robin Hood hat (as I'd lost one at party previously), and we raided Tat, a treasure trove of records, Knick Knacks and, well Tat. We walked away with a tin, a super 8 camera, a diary written in 1948, and a pair of musical braces. Nicely!
Hello Nottingham...

Yes, we're on our way back south from our stint in the north (and what a stint it was). Big thanks to Jonny & everyone who visited in Leeds.
So... we now say hello to Nottingham, Robin Hood country. We're meeting some lovely locals, and are being guided by resident, postman, artist and super chap Andrew Cullen (or Rod to us). Thanks Rod, you're a star.
This is a pic from our excursion into Nottingham where we met D & S Seafood frontman Dave, who has apparently been selling cockles & pots full of fishy stuff for the last 42 years. Good work fella. You're definitely the bees knees.
Keep them pictures coming...

Huge love must go to Kirsten for once again joining the Pleasure Bus Crew in Leeds, but sorry Kirst this time you've been trumped. The Lovely Polly, Evie, and Ross Made the trip down to Leeds from Avimore Via Glasgow, just to visit the Pleasure Bus. That deserves a big fat pat on the back guys, big love. Also if anyone's ever in the Avimore area check out the lovely Ord Ban restaurant run by Polly and Ross, it serves the most fantastic nosh.

We popped by Ellland Rd to let the Pleasure Bus see the mighty Leeds United's ground. We raided the Leeds shop and bought the car a few Leeds Air fresheners. The Van now smells of Slazenger sport deoderant, which is only slightly better than damp.
Happy Chops

This may well look like we've just priced up some stuff that was laying around the Ellis house, but you'd be sadly mistaken. The Hammer, once used by Pablo picasso to make his canvases, is a steal at 35 Million. Be quick though, Damien Hirst has already asked if he could swap it for a pickled cow. Fat chance Mr H.

Huddersfield added to the PB Tour.
Yes Now, we've decided to add an extra date to the PB tour in Huddersfield tomo night (Thursday 4th September) because Rob (me) is not around this weekend in Leeds. it's a crying shame, as I was really looking forward to Leeds, but M'lady's Sister Kath, is getting married to Andy and I can't miss it. No way Jose.
So this is the plan of action. Thursday night, ellis house from 6.30 onwards. txt me for the address if you want to come if you don't know where it is. Am really looking forward to seeing family and friends, and showing you all the PB art gallery and shop. If you want to invite some buddies, do. just no riff raff yeh?
