I have been doing a bit of photography in a few clubs around London. From trendy designer bars where the cheapest drink is 25 pounds to, alternate clubs in Camden playing wicked bands to Cabaret style bars in Shoreditch. All fun, all interesting. Money is okay, contacts are good too. I don't want to do club stuff forever but it will help build a good client base for more photographic/design work.
Kate Scissor was over from oz Friday night. We showed her around Brick Lane (a cool spot in East London), there's everything from outdoor bars, restaurants galore, food stalls, markets, vintage clothes stores, op shops, old style diner bowling alley, record stores, galleries, clubs. Very rad spot. We had a few drinkies there then decided to move on and just go wherever the night took us. We stumbled across the Ten Bells pub where Jack the Ripper frequented and got his victims drunk before slaying them silly.
We then stumbled across a silent film being screened in Spitalfields, there were tons of people sitting down watching the film. What was cool is there was a rad instrumental post rock band playing along to the film haha. Crazy. There was a cool outside bar with heaters so we had pints and desert before heading onto a cocktail bar down the road. Deadly, we punished about 6 cocktails each..that I can remember. Then ended up in Oxford Street somehow, again..can't remember. The rest of the night was a blur. I passed out in a bus and must have dropped my phone. A nice lady woke me up and handed me my phone. Genius.
Last night we went and saw Parkway Drive. It was mental. Sold out at the HMV Forum in Shoreditch. People were going off. It was so good to see the Byron boys shredding.
Anyway some photos below of the park "common" just up the street from our place. It gets packed on weekends now, people stripping down to their undies. Freaks!
