Sounds like my Xmas shopping trip yesterday afternoon .. except having finally entered a shop other than a grocery store after 3 1/2 months I've come back with some new Nike trainers (my other faves finally fell apart - literally).. and not even a christmas card :spank:. How old am I ?

I'm also moving this weekend as we're off travelling in the New Year. So Friday night probably do something chilled, dinner and a couple of drinks. Then moving / cleaning / packing etc on Saturday and Sunday. Then back at the rents on Saturday night, that will be strange!

8)8). Hope he goes B2B with Ben as it's really something when they get it together, and Marcel won't play his own stuff !

Saw Ben Klock again last Sunday @ Berghain. Was amazing as ever. Must have burned about 4000 calories during his 5hr set as could barely stop 'having it' other than 5 mins here & there to grab fuel from the bar :lol:... (admittedly took about an hour and a bit out to go upstairs for a mid-marathon rest with Ryan Elliott who was brilliant.. and to chat to Mr C who was there with his mates en masse !).

Reports ?

Fri - Decided I couldn't face going up to Manchester with the bad weather - so stayed in and checked out some tunes instead and stayed up far too late. Would be great to get some feedback on the Ostgut Ton night @ WHP... that I missed !

Sat - slept in and failed to face up to going Xmas shopping, feeling very rough and a tad fluey. Finally pulled it together to go to Art of Dark's party @ Corsica Studios. Probably not the best venue for it, queued for an hour (met some nice & clued in people tho') & was one of the oldest people there (some very young groups with plenty of baseball caps :lol:!). Must admit everyone well behaved, even the smattering of "Fuse" crowd, and the 2 quaint little ice cannons in Room 1 were a relief ! Cheap bar but drank them down to Sugarfree redbull by 6 :rolleyes:.

Musically it was clearly an education for a handful, but almost all got into it. DJ W!ld, Tato & Sossa all (thankfully) played good set on the upbeat side. Jordan Peak showed up too (nice guy) :). Danced most of the night.

Moved into the other room after 7am - crowd had thinned well over 50% and it really kicked off. Big time. Great atmosphere. Room to dance properly (everyone was !). Sossa's jaw was literally on the floor and even he was grooving in the crowd ! Jack Michaels & friends took control & stepped up the energy (this guy is really something behind the decks) & got a sit down round 8. Sanity prevailed tho' and left a little after 9, having well and truly danced off all fluey feelings & swapped excess alcohol for a post-workout serotonin high. I gather they went on till noon.

Sun - Lovely sunny day. Makes such a difference. Hour's kip and a shower - and finally managed to get out to sort most of my Xmas shopping. Flaked out at 9pm for a much-needed 12hour kip.

Work night out good. May be facing the unlikely scenario of one of my hot colleagues fancying me. :eek: Will be out drinking with her again on thurs, so need to work out what I want and how to play it.

In my favour, I'm not desperate to 'pull' at the moment - am more interested in building my confidence through weights. 8)
 
Sat: Pretty much as planned. Ended up at The Ministry until 7am Sunday:twisted: Wifey not too impressed, made it up to her sun am.:D

Sun: Touristy things around London and pipilotti rist exhibition = absolutely brilliant. Home to the children.

Cannot recommend The Langham enough for a total indulge yourself treat.
 
MOVED. I'm a Hertfordshire lass again, no longer a cool Dalston-ite NOOOOO :( ;)

Donated half our stuff to the Peace Hospice in Watford so feeling quite saintly this morning.

Getting v.excited about Crimbo!
 
This weekend was a really hard one emotionally for me, so it wasn't all that great.

Friday - Work office party as planned. Ended up crashing at a colleagues as it was 6am. Didn't drink very much after how much I drank Thursday.

Saturday - Went Christmas shopping, got the rest of the stuff I need

Sunday - Nothing much.

My weekend was terribly random. Much of what could go wrong did. At least it ended on a high note

Friday - After a day in which everything possible went wrong, the horrendous holiday shopping period traffic that evening meant that by the time I went home, dropped off my car and changed it was too late to attend the first party I'd planned to. Skipped straight to the second one, which was quiet. Then the third one which was already winding down around 1. Went to Simachev Bar and the night finally picked up - saw lots of randoms I hadn't seen in a while, danced, drank, went home around 4.

Saturday - Ran a bunch of errands in the afternoon then went to my corporate holiday party. Saw a procession of middling Russian pop acts (Band Eros, Gradusy, Valery Syutkin, Serebro, Yulia Kovalchuk, Chaif, Nyusha and Discoteca Avaria for any Russian-speakers lurking ;)). It started winding down later than expected so by the time I got to my next stop, the Bohemian Ball, that was already winding down too. Went home to change out of my suit but by then it was after 4am and I was wasted, so I decided to call it a night.

Sunday - Made a beef roast dinner in the afternoon, then went to club Milk for Blastfest. Really good music festival. Great bands - Twiggy, Tesla Boy, B-2 and the eponymous Blast. Suede headlined the event - not sure how they're perceived back in the UK but the crowd here loved them. I've seen Brett Andersen 3 times now (twice solo) and he's a top notch performer.

Absolutely superb night. Been to the WHP twice before and it was quieter than those times, a combination of weather, Christmas parties and Sasha the next day no doubt. No worse for it though, plenty of room to move and the dancefloor was actually bearable. The music was absolute quality, stayed in the main room throughout and Norman Nodge, Dettman/Klock did not play a bad tune all night. Don't think I've heard a better night of music to be honest and I've been listening to techno since about 1996. Hearing them in the Berghain must be an experience, sort of contemplating a trip but could have gone last year and been guaranteed guest list entry, may have missed the opportunity.
