Hello all,
I'm back from America, where I spent my time playing Mario Kart, drinking whiskey, and hiding from tornadoes in Indian Restaurants.
But enough of that - who wants to come to London Loves? It's a one-off, a reunion, a memory, a reminder, a celebration, a resolution. It's the clubbing equivalent of Murakami's what I talk about when I talk about running. If people come, we'll do another. I'm totally up for it - all being well, I'm moving back to central London in June, so will again be able to turn part of my easily distracted attention to the crazy world of club promotion.
It takes place on Saturday 23rd May at the Torriano Pub on Torriano Avenue, which is a lazy 10 minutes walk from Kentish Town tube. Here's a map for you. Entry is free, but space is tight - or, as an estate agent would say, cosy. Therefore, we need to know FOR CERTAIN if you're able to come. No facebook maybe babies. If you can make it, let us know, and we'll put you on our (free) guestlist. If you can't, let us know asap, so we have a decent idea of numbers.
It's an early one - 7-12 - so we hope to get people dancing early, and everyone will be able to get the last tube. This, I think, is a good thing, as people are old and they seem to like the last tube. The last tube has taken on a mythical status, suggesting warmth, safety, and not spending three hours on the night bus.
This means we'd expect you to get down early. Start drinking from seven, and start drinking by nine. That's the plan. Amazingly, there's a jumble sale at the pub in the afternoon - so you could even come in mid-afternoon and see if you can still remember your name by the time by 9. Then when If by The Bluetones comes on, you won't even care if you can't.
As the vast majority of you know, I'm getting married soon, so this London Loves forms part of my hopefully legion non-stag do style celebrations.
Email me if you can make it, and I'll put you on the list.
Forward to anyone who might be interested (any 20sixers who aren't on here?) - we lost our London Loves mailing list in a tragic internet forest fire.
Hope all is well.
