Belated Bits and Bobs from the London/Camden/Brighton Weekend



Finally, got the net back at my house. Here are a few pictures that the previous posts could have done with.

Camden Barfly

Some hotel in Camden: Maja, Geezer and myself
Dylan Moran. Well, the stage. He had a real go at people that wanted his picture.

Camden, my arse. What's wrong with the Digbeth Barfly?

Dear Mr Christopher.
Have you read anything by either Danny Wallace or Dave Gorman?
Or, if you can, get out and buy a copy of "You Can Get Arrested For That".

It's a new book that I was reading on my lunch hour (ahh, the benefits of working in a bookshop).
I can just see you going off on some wacky and pointless adventure.

Isn't it worrying when you find yourself thinking of people you only know via their blog?

ANYWAY... I went to Brighton back in May.
'Twas fun.

I'll go now.

I'll check back again later to make sure that continues.

JvS--I've been there. I was there for the Gonzo tour last year (I won tickets) I judged an impromtu breakdance competition between members of Be Your Own Pet, The Long Blondes and Zane Lowe.
We also danced with Maggot from Goldie Lookin Chain. Not bad for a cheap night! I'm going there again soon to see a couple of bands.

Norton --

"Dear Mr Christopher.

Have you read anything by either Danny Wallace or Dave Gorman?"

--I've read 'Googlewhack' and 'Are You Dave Gorman?' and seen the man live. I've read 'Join Me' by Danny Wallace (One of my all-time fav books) and I'm currently reading 'Yes Man'


"Or, if you can, get out and buy a copy of "You Can Get Arrested For That""

--I shall look for it on Amazon today.

"I can just see you going off on some wacky and pointless adventure"

--Me too. I'm still on my 'I want to meet every U.K based blogger' and then move overseas to meet other Blog stars.


"Isn't it worrying when you find yourself thinking of people you only know via their blog?"

--I think of Bloggers as friends. i never thought I would but I do say things like "My friend Corinna made me this awesome sock monkey" and "I was recommended/sent this by.."
When you meet it kind of seals the deal. Stephanie and I are really close friends and we see each other a lot. It's all thanks to Blogger.

"ANYWAY... I went to Brighton back in May.
'Twas fun."

--Brighton is the best. One of my favourite places. Good people, good venues and good times. It's like an upmarket Blackpool.

"I'll go now"

--Stay! I'll put the kettle on!

Chloe--It was a wicked weekend. I can't begin to tell you how cool Geezer and Maja are. I wish I could hang around with them more often.


Corinna--They didn't get the chance this time but they will. Oh they will! I'm going to return the favour with something for you. I was going to get something for your birthday but I didn't have the net at home and they block most of the cooler shopping sites in the office.

Send me your wish list?

Binsk--You never know how the day will go. It's hard to keep a smile at work because they frown on that kind of thing.

Vesper--Thank you! Maja's damn cute, huh? Geezer's a handsome devil too! I just hope I'm not tarnishing the picture in anyway!

Cathy said...

I love the B&W photos!
Cheers!

Devil Mood said...

Cool pictures, like something out of...a dick tracy film? Maybe I'm going crazy but that's what it reminded me of...
Camden is the place to be!

Christopher D. Bate said...

Cathy--I prefer black and white. It's classy, no?

Devil Mood--Or an old porn movie...

Camden is crazy. Maybe too crazy for me!
