Camden Town and Piccidally Circus

to start out I fucking L-O-V-E this city. Love all the different bar scenes. but anyways it's time to rehash a respectable weekend.

Thursday night around 830 I realized I lost my key somewhere. So if I was going to go out I had to go out with one of my roomies. the gay one (Sean) was staying in for some reason. so the tall asian (Scott) me and a rest of pretty legit people decided to it was time to destroy camden (which is like one or 2 tube stops from us, real easy to get back home from after being ridiculous for long periods of time). Scott me and two other girls met up with some other CAPA/UMass students at this Irish punk bar called "The End of the World." I absoultely loved the place for the following reasons: I loooove drop kicks and flogging molly (I'm a boston kid it should be a given) Great music to drink to if you ask me. The bartenders were scenester girls (another huge soft spot there) And I thought it was extremely humorus that they had signs in the lavs saying that all services are treated with special tape so you can't do drugs. I looked around and saw that they were right. glad im not a coke head or else i would've hated it.

Unfortunately this place closes at 12 on thursday nights apparently. so we all got kicked out. we ended up wandering through camden and did a serious bar/pub crawl until we found this place called Barfly. I never knew there was such thing as rafsaterain clubs until i got there. Weed was blantanly being smoked right outside of the club. A lot of the guys there reminded me of Slater (i think the character's name was slater) in Dazed and Confused. I almost felt bad for the girls.

talking about girls in bars/ clubs is there an appropiate way to meet them? I personally just hang out with the people I know just cause going behind some girl and starting to grind with them just doesnt seem right. Like is there proper bar ettiquette or something? Creeping aint cool.

anyways, somehow or another I ran out of money and found myself in a cab with all UMass students. Two of them were sisters. One was in the program the other was skipping school and visiting. Well the girl who wasnt visiting, I guess isnt used to smoking drinking and being in a cab. fucking novices. She def wasnt loving it and had to run out of the cab. If she puked inside the cab i think he would have kicked us all out.

after the cab fiasco darren (the other Umass kid) and I managed to get kebabs and hopped on a double decker bus. I was a mess. somehow I spilt a whole beer down my leg. I was seriously namming this kebab. completely broke, not entirely sure how i got the kebab or got out of the cab. To drunk to even show my public transit card. The bus driver felt so bad for me/ was sick of me holding up the production he let me just jump on. then I remembered I was keyless and had no idea where my roomie was. Long story short I woke up on darren's couch at 930 in the morning with this tiny asian screaming HOUSE CLEANING! I did not love it.

Everyone I knew/ had phone numbers for was pretty much killed for the following 24 hours after. So friday and friday night was chill time. Got to chill with the foolish girl across the hall and sort some things out. her b/f is coming out next week for spring break and I got to make fun of her for that.

Sat night we ended up over at Piccidally Circus. It's a pretty touristy area. Most Londoners kinda try to stay away from there. It's def a place you want to be keep an eye on anything you value. With saying that though it's a place you have to go to at least once. it's like not going to times square while spending 3 months in nyc. After a whole production with trying to figure out exactly where we were going Scott me and Lindsay said fuck it and went to this really legit bar. It was a happening place. completely packed. good mix of indieish music with classics like journey and michal jackson (pre white). maybe 4 different levels with bars on each level. The rest of the people we went to P. Circus eventually came over and we had a blast. Absolutely great time. I want Hatties to be like this place. My only beef is that this place closed. Pretty sure we got kicked out around 2 ended somewhere else. I think it was someone's bday. there were ballons left and right. I don't remember anything extremely interesting except for the fact I was really happy and just had a solid time with these kids. Much better crew than the other pps I've been "partying" with.

Long story short, I really like partying and seeing other people have a great time. had a solid weekend.

sounds like you kids over at south bend had a killer one also. PROPS!!!!!
