We've all had a really hectic time since the festival kicked off and have not really been on top of things regarding the distribution of the DarkDaze prints. As a result and in an attempt to redeem ourselves for not being superhuman enough to be in many places at once, we have today dropped 4 of the prints of at the following locations. Vivid Design & Print - Sydney Street, Ink'd Gallery - North Road, Komedia Cafe/box office - Gardener Street and RPRZNT - Church Street. Rubbish clues we know but our heads hurt, we're all really tired and can't really come up with anything better. Be good people and get yourselves down to those locations to collect your free prints. Ask the respective shop/gallery/cafe keepers nicely and you're sure to be rewarded. Pics of which ones you're looking for are below.

Also if you come down to 'Frieze Box' outside the library in Jubilee Square you'll be able to pick up another of the set. Just ask one of the BHHF volunteers.

The remaining prints will be released later in the week.

All the best

Apologies for our infrequent reporting of what's been going on with the festival.We've all been running around like headless chickens chasing our tail feathers in an effort to keep the rescued festival events on track.

Frieze Box has been going well despite the attempts of the heavens trying to scare us off with frequent bursts of rain. So far we've enjoyed the skills of MNKY. Ashab, Snub, Sinna, MN, Word To Mother, Alfa, Dan Lish, Req and Foundry. The box is going to be outside the Brighton Central Library in Jubilee Square (weather permitting) every day until Sat 14 July. There's more great artists to come so come down and check it out.

Friday night we had the one Fresh Styles film screening that we managed to save. The Graffiti Night Special. A series of shorts and promos were followed by Style Wars Revisited and Bombin, before the almo0st full house was treated to an exclusive Q&A session with the legendary Duro CIA who flew in especially for the festival from NYC.

The next day some of Europe's best graffiti crews descended upon Brighton's New England Quarter to join Duro in painting just over 100m of the building site hoardings.

On Sunday we had the amazing Battle Jam. A whole day of excellence in all the physical elements of Hip Hop. We had crews from all over the UK and some artists from as far as Japan and Australia showed up to demonstrate their skills.
Across the board all the performances were very high and the atmosphere was positively charged. Big thanks go to Spencer and the Born To Rock crew for organising and hosting the event so well.

So all in all it's been a pretty hectic time for our small but dedicated team of volunteers who have been there every step of the way. So mucho thanks go out to them.

We'll put some photos up as soon as we get more than 5 minutes to spare.

Thanks also to all the people who have attended the events so far and shown their support for the festival.
