30 October 2008 - diary post (so y'all can keep tabs on me)

ok, i've been a busy bee, and there'll be a picture post in a few days.

DIARY

Saturday 25thwas a mad one.

mates birthday - 7-9:15pm
At the Shugapush club night down Warren Street way. He was dj-ing, made broken conversation about comic books between records. Had a couple of good chats with Theo and Kid Krupa, so was good time.

another mates birthday - 9:45-11pm
Ben Crouchs tavern rock pub by the Plaza on Oxford Street. Few old faces, few new faces, good music

yet another friends birthday - 11:30pm-3am
club in Camden. again, mix of the old and new faces.
fairly dire dj in the main space, but second small room played indie/soul/motown so i slipped in there with a young lady for the last hour. Which was nice.

my heart was considerably richer, but my wallet considerably poorer.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Sunday was mate 2's birthday meal
---------------------------------------------------------
monday - bowls (a win)
----------------------------------------------
tuesday bowls, twice (two losses)
---------------------------------------
wednesday lazy day in avoiding important paper work, future descisions, and making doctors appointments. Watched an animated documentary about a penguin who enters a surfing contest.......... "Surfs Up", very good movie. More in it for grown ups though - Jeff Bridges seemed to be reprising his role as "the dude".
--------------------------------------------
thursday
Library to sign up for/check availabillity of courses

will be meeting a friend from Junior school for the first time in 15 years, she got in touch through facebook. she was then and seems to remain un-utterably lovely.
a lot of girls i knew in my past seem to be getting in touch and telling me how much they remember me and that i was always one of the first they thought of. I've never been a ladies man (til the last couple of years anyway (wink) but i've always had more female friends than male ones,

attending a guestlisting i got at a Halloween Funeral type thingy at the Soho Revue Bar as the guest of Hooligan Night - who are a great band i've shot a couple of times now.
Their lead singer is going to be in the ceremony and then the band will be doing a set.
Hopefully i can keep expenditure to a minimum, sof drink all evening, and maybe last tube home........ money is running out badly,
-----------------------------------------------
Friday
Massive fancy dress burlesque/rock spectacular in central london. Again a guestlisting job to take pictures - am taking one of my girlfriends who is mad as a badger (and who we love very dearly).
the Shellac Sisters are djing (again, we love them muchly), lots of my mates (who will have had to have paid the £25 each will be there). I will not be rubbing my 2 free tickets in their faces.
It's gonna be tough to keep costs on booze down, but hell, you only live once.

11 October 2008 - Dollhouse Days Are Over.....

went to see a club night over in Bethnal Green called "Dollhouse Days Are Over..." i wasn't quite sure what to expect, i just knew a band i liked (Hooligan Night) were playing a set...........

There were a couple of other acts on the bill i had no preconceptions of (brief reviews follow of each). The club night itself promised "A haven for Punk Rock Princes, Electro Ballroom Bitches, Neon Clad New Ravers, Riot Grrrls and Grimey types." Music policy was new stuff i hadn't heard before along rock/indie lines through to CSS and the Cure (which was nice)

Miss Ruby Blues, lead singer of the excellent Hooligan Night.....

Fab and just a bit sleezy (which we like......), not got much of a yardstick for them for influences - a bit electro, a lot rock, a bit bluesy - uber cool :)
We like them very much, their myspace tracks don't have the energy of the live perfomances (which are really fab).
Great sound, great songs, great live 8/10

Guitarists from The Pepys

(slight edit)
The Pepys are a good solid band - cross between Bloc Party and The Libertines, much better live than their myspace tracks suggest, 7/10

Odd, just very very odd. Foul mouthed antipodeans with CSS pretentions. Strange stage antics, fowl lyrics..... yet oddly compelling in a way that is desperately unhealthy, 7/10
