The Coffee Mile

WebsterGotts feel they have been out of touch with the art community of late. This is a bad thing in the art industry. When artists distance themselves from other artists it can affect their careers. Obviously the most important thing about being an artist is hanging out in the right places and going to parties to pretend to be interested in other artists' work. In short, if no-one knows who you are, you're a nobody.

To reaquaint themselves with the intellecultural, metroboho, supercontemporary, city-lazing creatives, WebsterGotts decided to embark on Sheffield's world-famous 'Coffee Mile'. Ecclesall Road has Europe's highest concentration of coffee shops per square inch. Surely there must be shitloads of artists along there. WebsterGotts need to broaden their range of known artist hang-outs.

So WebsterGotts went to every establishment that sold espressos and allowed them to sit down (preferably reclining on leather sofas) along the 'Coffee Mile'.

I'm glad you guys did that so I don't have to. It reminds me of that 60s TV footage where the guy took LSD and then gave a running comentary on how it made him feel.
