last saturday night in london started off in a fairly familiar way - there *is* some kind of party somewhere but it either gets cancelled, shut down or is in wembley, west of kingston or some other ridiculous place not really reachable via public transport.
'round 3am i get a phonecall... "what are you up to? there's a party in hackney wick"
"are you fo real? what kind of party"
"yeah, it's... weird"
"be there in 15 minutes"
after getting there we finally found out what kind of "weird" was it.
hipster party.
i'm not sure if it was a squat (doubt it really) but the entrance door was open and there totally was a party on the top floor, totally unlicensed (i guess even hipsters want to party and have a smoke without having to go outside). never seen so many people wearing glassess on the same dancefloor. despicable music. huge novelty value, but that runs out quickly... saved by good ol' homebrew we stayed a couple of hours.
around dawn we found our way out and headed home via victoria park.
two days later it was time to head off to the airport..
Why do so many hipsters wear (really rubbish looking) glasses? I wear (fairly rubbish looking, but they're not "fashionable") glasses cos I'm short-sighted. But the hipsters? They've all just got plain glass in them, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteMakes as much sense as the stupid, ugly trousers they wear.
