Warped Weekend

Broadcast at Warp 20

I only have eight days left of work until Christmas holidays. Then it's home run all the way, bay-beh. Last night, I began my season's celebration by attending Warp Records' 20th anniversary at The Coronet, a nice old theatre near Elephant and Castle. I was actually there to see Broadcast, who were absolutely stunning and mind-bendingly brilliant, but I also wanted to check out some of the other acts lined up, especially the DJs. I was somewhat surprised to discover that the general Warp fan wears an anorak and a 7 o'clock shadow, though the dancey second floor room had a more "lively" crowd, especially under DJ Strictly Kevin. Because I'd been working all day at the East London Design Show, I was knackered and footdead; didn't score myself anything to keep going into the early hours, despite back-and-forths by txs mssgs, so took the night bus home around 2am. Everyone who attended bagged a Warp compilation CD on the way out, which is a bit hit-and-miss (like most of the stuff on the label.)

Today, had a tray of grease at Roman Market's best caf, Fiesta, then wandered through Brick Lane with wink_martindale and brasilian friend B. I learned of a job opportunity in Oxford, being the P.A. for a royal, but it would involve either moving in with her or buying a car and commuting to Oxford, so not really workable right now. In a few hours, we'll be descending upon the Victoria pub for some pints with friends we haven't seen in ages and a screening of Flatliners with free popcorn. Closing the week with a golden key.

December is not the new February.

I have never seen Flatliners. Had you seen it before?

Years and years ago, when it first came out. In the end, the night was a fiasco! We were, apparently, meant to bring the DVD...
