Never done one of these before so here goes.

Friday - Finished work at around 6.45 drove home watched some tv sent a few emails and slept ready for saturday night shenanigans.

Saturday - Had to work (get sunday of thou) finished at 5pm got home had a quick disco nap then in the motor with my mate tom to go to the Egg. Not sure what made us want to go here just kinda took our fancy.

Arrived at the Egg 11.30 ish Is a fairley small venue and the crowd didnt seem as up for it as the MOS but overall the music werent too bad and The Loft room was absolutley Banging !!

Marquee - This was freezing a selection of northern soul and some random doing magic tricks the dj did some good scratching.

Basement - Was really good at first very much pumpin dirty house then changed to a bit wierd breakbeat style which sort of killed it off.

Middle Floor - Some banging tunes in here and early on was very good liked the soundsystem in here althou once i learnt it was a funktion 1 system(supposidly one of the best in the world) wasnt too impressed didnt seem loud enough really.

very good music good atmosphere but later on it got a little moody as ts a very dark room and almost reminded me of my d and b raving days
Overall thou very good.

Loft - Small intimate room with lots of seating nice bar and small dance floor this room was just playing tune ater tune soem new and some old the mixing was fantastic the Dj's interacted very well with the crowd and it was a real happy go lucky care free atomsphere and attitude my favourite of the rooms,

Overall - A Nice club average sound system (ive heard worse) but very diffrent than i expected. Upstairs(loft) was very impressive thou.
Was supposed to be meeting morbyd in there but didnt get let in due to the male / female ratio 8O 8O so was gutted i didnt get to say hi but overall a pretty good nigh and worht the overall effort

Sunday - Just chilled all day and slept most of it Work tommorow ??

Sat - in a bid to keep away from clubs/going on cruises :lol: this wkend me and Tom have arranged a 'tourist' wkend so Saturday night we are going ice-skating @ Kew Gardens and then out for dinner in Richmond - with my track record for accidents don't know how sensible an idea this is 8O :? :lol:

Sun - going to London Zoo (to try and release all the animals :lol: ) and then out to eat @ the Engineer

:? :lol: :lol:

I don't know why I bother trying to be 'grown-up' when I always fail at the first hurdle :? :oops: :lol:

Sat - met up with Sandi in the afternoon for what was meant to be a couple of spritzers, in hindsight the combination of 2 nothern birds and a few Pinot Grigios it wasn't going to be a couple of spritzers :lol: Fastforward about 10 wines and a good old girlie chat we decide it's better to get our respective boyfriends/husbands to join us as we were incapable of going anywhere :lol: Met Sandi's lovely hubby and more drinks were consumed, by this time me going ice-skating was just not going to happen so I have the brainwave :roll: of going clubbing so the next thing I know me and Tom have gone home, quick change and en-route to Ministry :lol: Ministry was really good, the Hump Man was a lot better than expected, altho there were a few pissed tits around taking advantage of the new 24 hour licence :roll: :twisted:

Sun - all plans for going to the zoo went right out the window as I think if I'd gone to the zoo they would have ended up caging me with the animals :lol: So Sunday was spent laying on the sofa eating crap and watching the football.

So much for a 'grown-up' wkend :roll: :lol:

You want to be in London on Saturday for Danny Rampling's last ever London date @ Turnmills.
 
Ahhhh Thanx i knew i could count on you !!
Tell me more is it al l ticket and what time does it go on till me thinks i should book sunday off work !! :-)
 
Friday - Arrived in London. Did some work then hit the pub with a colleague. Afterwards, I went to a fancy fashion event. Saw famous people and met beautiful people. 8)

Then off for dinner and drinks at a fancy Japanese restaurant in Mayfair with a couple of friends and their friends.

Saturday - Awoken by work-related calls at some ungodly hour of the morning. :evil: Lazed around the hotel room, making it out of the room twice :lol: (a food run and a CD run - new R. Sanchez. yay! :D ).

Gathered with some friends to watch the Portsmouth v. Chelsea game at one of their's apartment but the evening dragged on a bit.

After escaping, I went to meet up with some other friends at the Embassy Club. Saw beautiful people and met famous people. :lol:

Afterwards, aborted attempt to meet up with Mark Sun (who was trapped in a cheesy Shaftesbury Ave bar) before going to meet Fronty over at the Egg. They, for some reason, were rejecting everyone that walked up (absolutely everyone) with various excuses. :? So I went over to the Key. Good tech-house tunes, dodgy sound system. Random Italian person bought me a beer :lol: Then grabbed some food (I think the street hamburger poisoned me :evil: ) and a taxi home at daybreak.

Sunday - Ouch. Felt less than stellar. Got very little sleep as some idiot called with a work question at 10am :evil: Spent most of the day in the hotel room watching football and then Lost, though I did venture out at one point for some Vietnames take-out and a big bottle of Coca-Cola.

So, bring on Monday. Time to start being productive on this trip!
 
Shame would have been cool to have met!!
We almost did :lol:

Give us a bell next time ur gunna be in town !!

It's open til at least midday Sunday so I think booking Sunday off work will be a good idea ;) Frankie Knuckles is playing first and then Rampling 4am - midday, it's going to be fab :D

Tickets are onsale on www.ticketweb.co.uk.
 
Ill be there !!

Sounds Awesome now to just book the sunday off work, Any of you guys see me there come and say hi yeah !!
 
Friday: drinks and bits in the odd 52 with my two friends, we got free tickets for La Paloma and we catch the last half hour of Ariel Rot's concert 8) Got back home around 5 quite damaged

Saturday: I invited my 8yo nice to lunch, I took her to a fancy pasta restaurant and she was all proud to be there with all the nice waiters saying things to her and feeling important and grown up. On the evening we just stayed home

Sunday: Family do, then Barça basketball match, then brithday do of a friend.
 
Fri - beers and food with the current Mrs B

Sat - Drove to Manchester and went on the booze with ol' muckers. Funniest bit of the day was meeting a cabbie/'hairdresser' I haven't seen for 13 years. He didn't believe I was me, so he kept claiming not to be him (saying he was brother and asking if I was a copper and whether I was wearing a 'wire' :lol: The delusions of grandeur of your average low level Manc wannabee gangster, eh?

12 pints of wifebeater and some industrial strength weed saw me asleep before midnight.

Sun - Walked mate's new Tibetan terrier puppy and then drove home for Sunday 'pints and papers' with the TCMB.


By the way, anyone know if the M6 toll road has always been £3.50? I'm sure it used to be less....

JJinit - never made it out of Chorlton, so no sightings of Mick Rumbaba :P
 
Fri - skintos so stayed in.

Sat - Nottingham for a browse in the day - tried on several outfits in All Saints that I can't afford!!! :( Rushed around to find a stick on bra :!:
Got ready and went out - had about 10 too many spritzers - ended up at an afterparty and ended up getting off with a mates bloke very very naughty I know

Sun - slept till about 1 - felt sick all day and night! Never drinking wine again! :evil:
 
Fri - vinyl shopping then recording to laptop. First night with the new licensing changes in my gig. Total disaster! 8O Very poor night and finished at 12.45am instead of 2am. Found out the next day one of the local nightclubs, that I turned a residency down only weeks ago, were so desperate for customers that they were charging £1 entry and £1 for ALL drinks!!! 8O They also had two guys with placards advertising this posted outside a competitors nightclub. 8O The doorstaff chased them to the other side of the road. OMG club wars! Of 'course it's exactly what the Police and Licensing Authorities are against, ridculously cheap drinks encouraging binge drinking. They just might get closed down if they continue with this.

Sat - daytime, hugging the fire :lol: and processing yesterdays recorded mp3's ready for Sunday night. Started my gig earlier at 9pm and continued til 2am. What an amazing f*ing night! 8O Complete opposite to Fri. Had the local TV cameras in to show how a bar should be run. Think I got about 10 seconds of my 15 minutes of fame. :lol: Will have to watch the local news tonight to see whether I ended up on the editors floor or not. :lol: Got to play loads more house vinyl and even if I say so myself, played some good sh1t. ;) Even got remarks from the boss on how good the music was. :D We were choc full from 9.30pm til 1.30am, fan...........bloody........tastic! :D

Sun - daytime, hugging the fire again, brrrrrrr. :lol: Nightime in my newly acquired residency, not the best but still a pretty good night. Quite busy.

Roll on next weekend. :D
 
Naff all - resisted temptation and stayed on the wagon....

Fri: DVD and food night - War of The Worlds is a brilliant entertaining film, Descent - freaky as f*** - started to feel really ill while watching it - I now suffer from claustrophobia I think ... :?

Sat: Mate popped over for for a chill and a chat - got a Chinese banquet in

Sun: Puppylover day - Mr PL at the match - came home a very very happy husband.....

Wow - two days of eating on a weekend - almost unheard of!!
 
Fronty I think I agree with you about Egg. Its not a club that'll take your breath away, but its still pretty decent. What I most like about it is the fact its always cool even when its really rammed. It doesnt get as hot as say The Cross or Ministry.

I did nothing at all other than watch another breathtaking Barca performance and the goal of the season by Etoo. 8)

Yeah, he came with me, but not til later.

Egg is a shithole. The second worst (to Turnmills) of the "Big" london clubs, who's only saving grace is that it's open at silly hours on a Sunday morning, and it's full of wreckheads, and the amatuer freaks of the London house scene.

That said, it's not often I have a shit time in there, and Friday was no exception.
