Camden
Last night we went out to Tommy Flynn’s in Camden to see a friend’s band play. Unfortunately, they put them on earlier than we were told and we arrived only to see the last half of their last song. They’re playing again in Whitechapel on Friday, but I think that’s going to be after I leave for Brussels, so I don’t think I’ll get a proper chance to see them perform. Shame, really; I liked the little bit that I heard.
After one beer, though, I started getting really dizzy and nauseous and had to go back to George’s. Not sure what that was about, but I’m going to blame shitty Australian beer. (Sounds like as good a scapegoat as any.) I apparently fell asleep on the couch, as I woke up at around 4:30am with the thought of “why the hell am I on the couch?” I promptly wandered to the guest bedroom and fell asleep.
Today we’re going to take the train down to Brighton and wander around there. Brighton is on the south shore of England, and was where the real-world scenes in Mirrormask were filmed. Today looks to be the best weather day while I’m in England, so it’s pretty much now or never.
