Hi, How Are You?

Hi, How Are You?

Last year we put together an event celebrating the life and times of anti-folk genius Daniel Johnston, on what would have been his birthday with our pals from VIBES. and CULT MILK

It was a really fun night and we’d planned to make it a much bigger event this year as lots of folk had wanted to get involved. Obviously we can’t do that cos of you know what BUT we’re gonna celebrate anyway by doing a few things online.

We’ve put together a playlist that you can listen to and we’ve got an online colouring competition with some great prizes. Plus a few folk have performed a song you can watch online. So… get yourselves some felt tips or if you prefer a digital colouring app. Download the image set aside an hour or two, pour yourself a drink and maybe order a Beelzebab. Stick the playlist on, watch the online performances and get colouring - it’ll make you feel good we promise.

To enter the competition & win some cool prizes, just post a photo of your colouring entry & tag @thehopeandruin on Instagram with the hashtag #hellohopealien or post it in the Facebook event!

Performances from GARY YAY, H_NGM_N & GED RAWSON:

Mental health was an issue closely related to Daniel and as we all are very much aware this year has been a real struggle for so many people. So if you are struggling help is out there. Or if you know that someone is feeling a bit down reach out and check in on them. Useful links here.

It's good to talk.
