We met in Jubilee Gardens which, by the way, is a terrible place to meet in the sun. We ended up in the only available shade, which was by a children's play park.
It's a little weird telling people you've never met before who are from the Internet that you are waiting by a play park. ¬¬
After that we moseyed on down to PUB SHIP and stayed their longer than I expected, which was no bad thing!
Four pints later we're off to the Tate Modern to appreciate art whilst tipsy. We only had a vague idea that the Tate was 'over there', which in London is not helpful.
Another beverage followed, and Iggles got rubbed by a young lady. Well, it was a massage, but hey.
Chinese food was next on the list - Iggles ordered a dish that turned out to be 95% bone. Nice.
It was after this that those with hotels to check into or trains to catch left us, so manly handshakes all round were the order of the minute.
Hopped on the Tube to Islington and ended up in the
most Local pub ever. How we made it out of there without stab wounds is amazing. As soon as we walked in through the (closed, never a good sign) door it was obvious that we weren't meant to be there, however we persevered and endured some of the worst karaoke I have ever had the misfortune of hearing.
A swift pint later and we made our way to the Islington Academy. The DJing act on was (
http://www.feelinggloomy.com) Feeling Gloomy which was pretty damn awesome. Check out the "Photos" section in a couple of days as we'll probably show up in them.
In the club we danced like idiots and Noid got accosted by Psycho Troll who would just not leave him alone, although to be honest at times he wasn't putting up much of a fight. That's what Carling does to you, let it be a lesson.
Further manly handshakes at 3:30 on the (K)Night Bus concluded the day, and it was fucking great.
Pixx: (I didn't take very many, too busy having a good time, and most of them were taken in the club after half had gone to hotels etc. Hopefully raph and Ulukai have some more)

Thanks for sharing your good time! :D It's good to see everyone.
OnionBob on 6/8/2006 at 15:16
Yes, I thought I'd chime in with a proper reply now.
I'm pretty tired but could be more hungover, which is good. It was an excellent time on the whole, I lost my shit for a while in the middle of the night after we'd had a few afternoon beers and sobered up (DEATH) but got my mojo back in the club which was a huge lot of fun. Killers kru :cool:
Met a lot of cool people, nobody disappointed, so thanks to everyone for coming, especially raph who I didn't realise had come so far. Awesome. B)

Indeed, it was fun chatting to you all; and although I didnt stay out for the sexy shenanigans in Islington - I must say it was a fine way to spend a saturday afternoon/evening.
Oh yeah, and that was my first time having dinner in Chinatown - was not disappointed and I will be returning.
If any of you London chaps want to go for a beer sometime at random then lemme know and I'll be there (mobile number over the magic of PM).
I'm looking forward to seeing Raph's photos on his rather spiffy "teflar-like" digital camera (Raph: its a 6mp camera btw...) aswell.

good day, everyone was cool and politely laughed at my shit jokes
the PUB SHIP is awesome and i hope it stays there forever because it is relatively cheap and also PUB SHIP
tate modern was kind of bleh, since i'd seen all the in-house catalogue recently anyway, and we weren't all up for the kandinsky exhibit (which would have been AMAZING if you like that kind of thing). always a pleasure to see some Bacon, Twombly and later-stage Rothko though
got majorly pissed though, the weird chick was a blur, i think i just wanted something to prop me up dear GOD what an embarrasment of mordor like proportions, if i think about it any more i'll probably kill myself
