Reimagining the Urban Duckpond

The first Hooting Yard Symposium will take place in September, bringing together academics and specialists in a radical look at the urban duckpond. Tord Grip (no relation to Sven-Goran Eriksson's assistant) will present his ground-breaking paper “Robespierre, Danton, Marat : Nomenclature Of The 21st Century Urban Duck”, and Maisie Poopdeck will facilitate a seminar on “Hermeneutic Strategies Towards A Marcusian Approach To The Fundamentalist Brûle Of Bufflehead Courtship Rituals In The Post 9/11 Ethos With Tea and Cake In The Sir Vidia Naipaul Lounge Afterwards”, among many other excitements. Tickets are available, but God knows where. A charabanc will pick up delegates from the station at eleven o clock sharp. Bring your own towel, soap, tea bags and duck (optional).
