Holy crap I've seriously neglected my blog.
Here's an interesting little story for ya though...
I live in New Cross (as I'm sure I have stated numerous times on my blog) and it is quite an interesting and quirky place. The combination of the strange community of Telegraph Hill and the Arty University Goldsmiths makes it a very flamboyant community. Therefore, last Saturday night I cannot say I was entirely suprised when I caught wind of the Awesome Party Day of the year that was practically my next door neighbours. Everyone was welcome. I spent all day in my room revising and from my open window I could hear all sorts of really talented bands. So I decided at about 10 to attend.

It was hard to miss. Outside the front door was a HUGE blue banner. Then you walked to a garden corridor which was lighted up blue and had various pieces of material hanging from the top, making you feel slightly bewildered and you're in. Suddenly we found ourselves surrounded by people in very interesting and signiture pieces of clothing crowded around a stage. When we got a bit closer I realised on the stage was the lead singer from my favourite Goldsmiths band  - 'La Shark' was singing whilst balancing on two ropes hung across the stage. He continued to dangle off of them and pull himself along whilst singing, creating quite a spectacle.

Then suddenly my friend grabbed me and brought me over to see someone. IT WAS A TEACHER FROM MY SCHOOL. As he said it was 'so sooo surreal'. He used to be a goldsmither himself and was reliving the Uni experience I suppose. Time to let the younger generation take over I think.

Also! Another weird thing... the hand soap was teatree with a 'coal tar fragrance'. COAL TAR?

weird weird weird
