So yeah, unbeknownst to a fair amount of you, besides the most hardcore of BBS lurkers or Facebook nerds, there was another London Fling this weekend as an excuse for Luis to get rid of some extra airmiles apparently. Here's how shit went down.

Friday
Took the slightly lengthier but a bit cheaper train down to London. Had to wait a bit extra to get booked into my Travelodge since I had booked it so late the previous night and it took time to find it on the system. After that, I slapped on my manly Sonic the Hedgehog tie and set off to the Green + Red to meet the general gang, where I had a few Watermelon Margheritas and tried some calamari. After that we headed to the now infamous kareoke bar (ie. the place where Tom Fulp brought sexy back in January) where after some total failure at pool, I sang a rather decent David Bowie, followed later by an extremely outta breath Eminem (trust me for picking one of the faster paced ones). Oh, and a couple of chicks dug my goggles. Bit of awkwardness after closing as scuffles started happening, rain started pouring, and the ever confusing minicab people drew into play.

Saturday
Awkwardly I forgot what time the meetup was and ended up arriving at the London Eye an hour ahead of time, spending a good amount of time shivering in the bloody cold, the only source of amusement coming from a little kid slipping off a wet pillar. As per usual, we aimed straight for the bar section of Namco Station, where I spent most of the day chatting with Eddache about stuff, including beating him at a game of air hockey. Bezman also brought his awesome beard prowess, this month's model looking like some kind of tree diagram, as well as the epic that is Jungle Speed. Oddly enough I never got round to the dodgems. O.o

After Namco Station, we plodded around in the rain and eventually had dinner at a Chinese Restaurant, where it became rather difficult to tell which food was whose. At this point we were also joined by Tom SFB who was flaunting his schmexy BBC pass. I decided to use that opportunity to have him pass on one of my showreel DVDs so yay. After visiting a couple of pubs, during which Luis buggered off somewhere to throw up, Tom took us to a rather spiffing night club where the mighty pulling power of the goggles showed their might once again, getting us no less than 4 ladies to dance with us. Was a bit worried when one of the lens fell out, but we managed to find it.

Sunday
Bit crap, really. Rain was pissing it down. We had initially hoped to catch a movie, but the movie we were aiming for, Harry Brown, we had just missed, so it was either go watch 2012 or bugger off somewhere else. Votes went unanimously to the latter, so we just spent the remainder of the afternoon at a lil bagel/cake/dooflip shop before everyone parted ways. I spent the remainder of my evening visiting various bars and shows, even managing to spot a quick drag act, which surely no person can not go without seeing before dying.

tl;dr, Good fun, shit weather.
Looking forward to whenever the next meetup might be. Maybe Mr. Fulp would like to show up again? :3
