Quick update

[lnr]

Lovely Saturday evening quietly celebrating Kirsten's hen night, and later joined by Col's stag party. There was paddling pool, booze, burnt things, some of which on sticks, a guessing game, and a good time had by all. Didn't stay very late. Sunday was quite followed by an evening at The Red Cow in the basement bar at covertmusic's IDM night Clear. Which was lovely actually. Nice bar, nice music, great company. Another earlyish night and a couple of productive days at work, with Monday at post-pizza with birthday cake for Kirsten and Tuesday at home with knitting. I slept like a log that night which made a lovely change, and decided last minute to take Wednesday off and got lots more knitting done, before joining Jacob, Rachel and Peter for a BBQ at Col and Kirsten and Benedict's. Lots of booze and far too late a night so I'm knackered again today, but hey it was good fun and worth it. Today I've tidied my room a bit and sorted a bunch of old photos into an album in more or less chronological order, which was quite a feat. Bedtime now, and weekend tomorrow night. Planning dinner with Ned and Beth then hopefully out clubbing again. Gosh doesn't a week go quickly.

Where do you go clubbing (other than goff clubs)?

Clear was a night in the basement of the Red Cow. Not been there before but it made for a nice venue, though the drinks weren't cheap for what felt like a pub. It was IDM or "intelligent dance music" which isn't normally my cup of tea but quite pleasant.+

The Kambar has a selection of different nights: Tuesday is goff/metal on alternate weeks, Friday is indie and we discovered last week it's quite good so we're going again this week.

Pop Art at the Junction was excellent last year but doesn't seem to be running any more. They have other stuff, and I've heard good things about Dot Cotton which is their lesbigay night, but none of the rest really appeal.

And other than that I tend to go to B-Movie at the Water Rats in London which is definitely goth.

Happy for recommendations though!

Great crowd at Dot Cotton - I've been a couple of times with vorno. Very OTT and good fun. My regular these days is to Boomslang which is pretty hardcore deep house.

keirf and I went to one of the Kambar's Indie nights on Strawberry Fair night last year and enjoyed it but I've not been since. Will again, though.

"intelligent dance music"

The fvck! I prefer Jyoti Mishra's term for it, 'bzangy-groink'.

Not necessarily shit. The Remote Viewer & Isan are really nice.
