Come to Gothy
I spotted my first Meth Head yesterday in Mile End. He was trawling the aisles of the local Budgens supermarket, picking up random items then putting them back on the shelves. His face and neck were covered with sores and open wounds; he had that dirty, grimy look that is so recognizable from websites like FacesOfMeth.com. He eventually left the supermarket without buying anything and headed for the Tube, but not before lifting a squashed cigarette from the pavement.
Mile End is going all Camden on my ass. It now has its first goth/alternative/rock n' roll pub - with indie nights on Wednesdays, free cinema (and popcorn) on Sundays, and a stage for all the Eastend Neogoth and Emo bands to cry their hearts out. (Heads up,

A Thai restaurant on its second floor shut down a few months after its inauguration. naturalbornkaos checked with me the pub's programme and we both agreed that it's an interesting new venue for London, with a lot of potential. I've now just got a message from him with a link to this Livejournal post, and The Victoria has, apparently, The Most Gothic Toilet in London. COOL!!!!
I think a night out at The Victoria is in order. It's fairly easy to reach for many of you, and there's always crashing space at my flat for anyone who lives too far away.
I'm excited with the prospect of a five-minute walk home after watching a gig. :-)
