Pantomime !

Friday night I went to Glee Club, a comedy club in birmingham. Firstly, it was the first time I have been out to a comedy in the UK, and oh... it was in chinatown. I have finally hitched up my hoity-toity skirts and made way to the underbelly of bham city. The food was fantastically like home and I will PROBABLY start taking a cab there for lunch.

Bham city has a terrible reputation, and its not fair. London steals most of its thunder because its so close, but the scene here is almost puritanical to good ol art, sex and boheme. Loads of indie djs, producers, artists make their home here because, like I thought to myself, living here is cheaper but London isn't too far away. It is very much what I thought of toronto compared to NYC. Ah, Toronto...thinking of the cool gigs I used to go to and the variety of culture and food.

Anyway, once the night gets later I will be giving off a couple of reviews :) Right now, I just made a couple of media industry friends and joining a amateur production crew that specialises in HD short animation and green screens. We'll be filming on the weekends. Also happened to pick up a small interest in the fashion scene here because of my addiction to hawes & curtis shirts [adored by frank sinatra, fred astaire and inventors of the windsor knot] and might be picking up a sweing lesson or two.

BACK to the pantomime and purpose of this blog, D acted as the giant in jack and the beanstalk. I went to see the final night performance on saturday and we ended up at a pub club called Arizona Crossing, and no, it doesn't look like an arizona crossing at all, I would know, I lived there. I enjoyed myself, it was a good night with loads of G&T.
