Some people like to mix it up in the mainstream. Others just want to lull among the eddies.
8th May, Twenty-Twelve (Montreal) Now that the news cycle has moved on and getting run down by a taxi has slid off the front page and been replaced by stories about people being thrown from horses and dropping from hang gliders (in which nobody happened to be wearing any Gingham) it's time for Got Gingham to get back to what it does best: gettin' Gingham with something to smile about.
For example, check Eddie here. On his way to the Tam-tams, you've seen this guy before. You've been outside the club or seen him on the dance floor and this is the guy who walks past you grinning and you wonder who he is. Now you know. He is Eddie and he's Got Gingham.
