I decided to go see them the day before they were playing, tickets were still on sale and I really enjoyed the song Alice put on my mix cd so I decided to pay them a gigging visit. The gig was awesome, I was sly enough to check out their latest setlist and make a playlist out of it so I knew some songs during the gig. I managed to smuggle my dslr camera using my usual smuggling technique and got loads of photo action. They played at Scala, Kings Cross, the beauty of this venue was that there wasn’t a gap between the band and the fans, we were literally next to the stage, meant I could take some nice shots. The lighting was amazing (it’s a club so it should have epic lighting) so the photos turned out really good. I got some real crispy action!
Sushi, 3D Dumbledore and We are Physics!
08 SepToday was quite a disturbingly hectic day, so many things arranged and plan in the last minute. Kazzie spoke to me on msn and asked me if I wanted to go out and have Yo Sushi! with her and Stu. I originally was going to decline the offer since I was pretty tired from Regina Spektor gig and all, thought since Michelle was also inviting me to see We Are Physics at the buffalo bar as well I decided I might as well make the day of it and have a proper day out again.
Back in London I was going to go see Regina Spektor in the Royal Festival Hall. It was going to be a fun event since Regina Spektor photos always gurantee’d photos on explore as well as the fact that Royal Festival Hall having the most amazing lightings (see my Howling Bells photos). I was going on my own since nobody I know wants to come with me (they either don’t like Regina Spektor or don’t live in London). So yeah, last time I went I was on my own so it wasn’t too bad watching the gig by yourself, plus I was hoping to pop into the photo pit and take photos so I would have only annoyed the person I was with.
Ever since Alice arrived back from France we were going to arrange some time to meet up and all, though since I was occupied every other Friday, it meant that I had to work my times to visit Alice around the schedule and all. We were able to have a quick Monday to Thursday visit which was fun. I met Will (Alice’s eldest brother) during my visit and got to go to Temujin once again. I was also able to have a quick meal with kev at Lucky Dragon (we had loads of yum yum dim sum and kev got some soup and beef fried rice (crazy portions though)) and at the end I was able to accompany Alice to get her A Level results (which were awesome, she got all A’s). That little visit was short but nonetheless significant. One thing that neither of us knew was going to happen was that me and Kev were going to buy tickets to Leeds Festival for the Friday date to see Smashing Pumpkins and Nine Inch Nails (and in my case, see Alice and tell her Happy Birthday).

Stephie had planned ages ago to see Silverchair at Brixton academy, she had bought me a ticket to see them (which was very nice of her) and inn and kev were joining in on the action to go see them. So yeah, we pretty much get a meetup going on, and since Stephie doesnt come down London that often we were going to make a lovely weekend out of it.
