What a great long weekend we've just had. So good, i'm actually wishing I didn't have to go to work tomorrow. But I do. :(
Saturday was spent all very civilised; a little bit of shopping and relaxing before heading over to Jimmy's to have a few drinks for his birthday. We didn't stay too late, especially since we were all going to catch up early the next day to go to a day dance party - Crash Palace.
Ant was so excited, he got up shortly after 6am on Sunday morning to go to the gym and get himself ready. Me, I prefered the sleep in approach, awaking around 8.30ish and getting myself ready before the guys arrived shortly after 10am.
The party was being held at The Men's Gallery which is a bit of a booby joint for straight lads. Part of the excitment was being able to take over a new venue we had never been to before, and I have to say we loved it. I did comment on the fact that I would almost consider changing my sexual orientation for that venue but then realised that it was exceedingly gay to want to change your sexuality over decour. It was such a massive venue though, and you could hear the gay squeal from a mile away when you worked up stairs to find a giant catwalk in the middle of the room with poles on each side. The front rooms were all very housey and fun while the back rooms were all very trancey - and the interjoining laneway was equally housey and fun. Great vibe... great crowd... just really, really good. They even had this energy drink called Speed that tasted no where as vile as what Red Bull or V do - very cola-esque.
Leaving the party at 7pm, we ran into some old friends of mine out the front who I invited back to our house (to save on cabs) so that they can freshen up. We ended up leaving home again around 9.30pm, but not before I had convinced my friend James from Manchester (better known to the world as remixer Project K) to come and join us. We headed around to Viper Room for the recovery there - grant, Viper is not one of my favourite venues, but we did stake out a corner and pretty much make it our own. The music was quite mixed there too, going from occasional club classics (D:Ream, Gloria Gaynor, The Communards) through to contempoary classics and a few more obscure. In the end, we stayed till it closed and left around 2am.
The last couple of days have been very low key, staying at home and relaxing, watching DVD's and just generally resting up before work. Watched The Da Vinci Code today which was borderline intriguing but just a bit on the long winded side.
Best I get off to bed - off to work tomorrow and want to be able to do a good job there - big meeting coming up soon and i'm stil not entirely sure how i'm going to be able to do it. I'm sure i'll figure something out though!
