Day 20



Milton Keynes.

I've only ever been there once - to its open air Bowl arena, named for the circular mound perimeter surrounding the venue's main attractions.
It was in that bowl of sweaty angry cornflakes that I picked up this commemorative T-shirt for the Projekt Revolution tour orchestrated by Linkin Park. It was the first time the tour had left North America and boasted an impressive bill of rock, rap and alternative acts such as The Bravery, Pendulum, Enter Shikari, Jay Z and obviously, Linkin Park.
The reverse of this T-shirt will tell you the same, but the front depicts a beautiful illustration produced by group TheSeventhLetter, of a skull-mounted tank riding through a setup of period theatre decoration, with appropriate title text above and beneath. Particular note goes to the missiles mounted to its sides and gun turret protruding through the skull's nose.
Overall, this is a pretty aggressive design - not unlike the masses of giant beer swilling morons crammed into the Bowl that day who genuinely attempted to "sing" along to the instrumental portions of the Pendulum set - and a design that I suspect has no other discernable 'meaning'.

Adequate then for such angry misguided cornflakes.
