london. 10.09.09
Saturday, October 10, 2009 at 2:38AM I slept a lot (during the day on Thursday). And then I didn't (at night Thursday night/Friday morn). I did this whole jet lag thing all wrong. But by Friday, I was good to go (after a strangely satisfying 3 hours of sleep).
Hopped up out the airbed, turned my swag on.
Wait.
No.
I got up, got ready, opened a travel book and a travel site to the London section and basically randomly selected my destination. I needed something somewhat out of the way so I could conquer my irrational fear of the tube. I love public transportation. It's cheap, navigable, and the system here is pretty awesome, even compared to BART.
I decided on going to Spitalfields Market. Now. I'm sure there's an easier way to get there than the way I did, but I managed to find it. It was cute. There were lotsa crafts. Got some stuff for the fam. Mozied back to my bro's (herein referred to as J) and took a nap in preparation for:
The Zero 7 concert!
Before the show, we went to a pub (pint of Stella, please) and had dinner at a spot called La Porchetta. Very cute, and crowded spot. I had a yummy salad. Not like, "I'll just have a salad and water with half a lemon." Cus see, I had hella lamb/chicken kababs right before my nap. I was still stuffed from that yummy goodness (note to self: find an awesome kebab joint when I get home and indulge in that sh*t allllll the tiiiiiime. YUM!)
I also had hella glasses of wine.
And then one more when I got into the concert.
I wasn't to' up. I was at the right tipsy place to feel comfortable dancing with a lot of people in my personal space without having an anxiety attack.
Though a lot different than the Zero 7 songs I know (apparently there's been band member changes), the show was GREAT!
After the show, J, T and I stopped at a store for goodies for me. I had chips and a candy bar for dessert, watched some Law & Order SVU and crashed without washing my face (regret!)
Amazing day!
Here's some pics.
