The Italian artist Run came down to paint in Cargo’s yard in December,
we filmed him at work and liked his art so much that it adorned our January monthly flyer…

As winter drew in to 2008, The rather lovely Sam3 came down to Cargo to introduce the world of Rivington Street to his huge murals. We love them and now we love him. You need to get to know Sam3
The guy is a freakin’ renegade of the best kind and his video work makes us think too much, cry a little then sleep like innocent babies in a world full of malice.

I find cocktails are best before bed, to be consumed whilst reclining on a freshly made bed watching The West Wing. However some people like to drink them out with friends, in a bar or in other such entertainment emporiums. Cargo, quick to notice this trend of people drinking whilst socialising, reveals their Cocktail of the month for January 2009: The Mai Tai.
Mai Tai is a Dutch pop-act formed in 1983 by the Dutch record producers Eric van Tijn and Jochem Fluitsma damn you Wikipedia.
The Mai Tai cocktail was invented by Victor J. Bergeron one afternoon for some friends (see social drinking, it’s everywhere!) who were visiting from Tahiti. One of them tasted it and cried out: “Maita’i roa!” (Literally “good very!”, figuratively “Out of this world!”) — hence the name.
The Cargo recipe for the Mai Tai is a hefty does of 10 Cane rum, fresh lime juice, Cointreau and Orgeat (a sweet syrup made from almonds, sugar and rose water or orange-flower water). For the month of January it’s only £5.50 and it is absolutely banging.
