Event excellent. Met up with [livejournal.com profile] avstrangegirl and [livejournal.com profile] alexa_jay beforehand at Jaceys, then went onto Quebec at about 8. Never actually been there except for Intelekt. Bands were good, especially the headliners, Bitchslap, all the way from Sydney. Sadly they had run out of CDs, though I managed to get a setlist signed instead. Must find out of they are doing any more UK gigs, and how to get hold of CDs. Good to see [livejournal.com profile] skibbley and Elizabeth (lj-less?) there. Now very tired. Oh, and drunk.

Visiting [livejournal.com profile] secretlondon this weekend. Went to Camden this afternoon to get a replacement bag for my black one with the pink spikes, which has slightly fallen apart (should be repairable though).

Either my copy of the Observer has vanished into thin air, or I left it at the newsagent.

went out for meal with family last night, quite good to get together outside of the house. etc etc. in the main bar as we were leaving we noticed a certain football match, the score being 3 nil. by the time we had got home the score was 3 all. this is possibly the only time i will ever post about football.

today was rather a less stressful day than yesterday. have spent evening at RON's leaving pissup, which has seen me get more drunk than i have in as along as I can remember, and i still haven't thrown up, which is always a good thing. ez was there which is also a good thing.

did wear planned outfit (bigbig red/black skirt and red/black top, along with the corset), which worked much better than i was expecting it to. of course, this left me unable to really go up the stairs to go to nowhere (did poke my head in at one point). psychocandy itself was quite fun. there was a strange guy with no teeth who wanted to touch people (think [livejournal.com profile] merlina had the best reaction to that - shouting "DO NOT TOUCH ME"). but aside from that, fun.

appear to have made a new friend :) (hi if you are reading this, please don't be shy :p m)

intelekt was good, though wasn't really in mood for dancing so didn't.

back from visting [livejournal.com profile] alexa_robinson. Intrusion was quite good! back to work tomorrow, and decisions to make.

and today the payback...

back from merciless. didn't get headache attack which is good, but did suffer from excess tiredness, hence me being here now. good to see everyone!

corset worked (ie it got lots of adoration ;)

just back from psychocandy! it continued rather late. glad i stayed till the end though, because the sight of a dozen people dancing enthusiastically (with sound effects) to the Black Beauty theme is something i will never forget.

something rather confusing (but good) happened which i will have to sleep on.

lack of headache + caffeine + alcohol + strange beepy music + new people = fun


There are lots of stars out tonight.
abigailbrady: (Default)
off to intelekt now. hoping my head will hold out but somewhat worried...
abigailbrady: (Default)
took [livejournal.com profile] milkyeyes to Jacey's last night for drinks and chat. quite a nice bar mid-week, dead quiet but still atmospheric. in the end i did let him use the quiz, but he had forgotten his password so he couldn't anyway! and now so have I. oops. he's driving back to dundee now.

should be awake enough for Intelekt tonight (and [livejournal.com profile] psychocandyclub tomorrow.) and if i'm not, i will just ingest more caffeine!

was very tired, so came back early from retribution. good to see people though. hadn't managed to get out in leicester at all last month really (apart from a similarly aborted trip to intelekt). this time it was just tiredness rather than headaches. hoping to go to psychocandy properly next week, but we'll see.

have arranged to visit [livejournal.com profile] alexa_robinson in oxford weekend of the 23rd, and am probably going to sheffield on may 6th-8th.

back from harborough, where i got very drunk, watched last two episodes of angel (and one i had somehow missed) and got woken up too early.

probably going to autonomy/retribution tonight, depending upon how tired i am.

Saturday - Wikipedia meet. Good to see people. Got rather too drunk!

Sunday - nothing to report.

Monday - watched the first episode of the new season of Doctor Who. Hurrah!

Back from going swimming with Charli. Was good. Managed to swim a few half-lengths of the pool (with floats) and a few metres without floats. Haven't been swimming for several years (not entirely sure how many - possibly about nine or ten), so that is all very good. Not much trouble either.

After this we found her some socks and wellies, and she annoyed the staff at the Leicester branch of Wilkinsons by buying a 58p packet of sweets with a credit card and her staff discount card. *cackle*

I bought a thing that supposedly lets me carry around 240 CDs (I want to be a DJ when I am grown up, I decided). Going to see how many it can really take.

Back in Leicester now. Very good party :). I hope other people than me were drinking the vodka as otherwise I think I had far more to drink than I thought I had.

The Virgin Voyager rolling stock is also blocking DAB signals, along with the new Midland Mainline trains that I complained about earlier (that are based on the same). I wonder if this is deliberate, or what?

At [livejournal.com profile] squirmelia's, recovering from the party. Will write up about it properly when I get home (assuming I can remember anything). Was good to finally meet [livejournal.com profile] eldritchreality. National Rail is giving me silly suggestions for train journeys, including changing at Clapham, Vauxhall and St Pancras. There are to be photos of me in my costume apparently.

Just back from Retribution. Somewhat better experience than last Saturday. People seemed to like my skirt. Had the new boots on again and my feet hurt a lot less than they did last week. Only got mildly drunk, which was good (and indeed necessary as going to the toilet is rather involved with that skirt). Danced quite a bit. Sang my filk version of "My Own Worst Enemy" instead of the real version. And a strange person in the toilets kept talking to me about Placebo, and how Brian Molko had kissed her on the cheek. And I seem to have arranged to go to Whitby in October. It will be my first one - what should I be warned about?

brendan benson good! although i would probably have appreciated it more had i been less drunl. didn't think much of the support acts really, the middle one kept cocking up.

was good to meet up with [livejournal.com profile] fox_in_snow properly, also met [livejournal.com profile] mellowdoubt for the first time. apparently he has a cd collection bigger than mine, which means i can stop feeling guilty!
