An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered

[myz_lilith]

And another epic weekend full of adventures and amazing people, including:

• Starting a day early with an Orange visitor on Thursday, and showing off my 'Look ma no GPS!' north London navigation skills


• Absolutely incredible night at AntiChrist on Friday - definitely doing that again


• Magical mystery tours when half of TfL was in meltdown


• Milkshakes at the Science Museum (and causing flashing-bouncy-ball carnage in the shop)


• "The guy sure looks like plant foot to me!" singalong at PCC


• Following the north bank of the river from Westminster to Tower Bridge in the moonlight, meandering in and out of small knots of conversation trailed by other people's lives, and...


• ...watching a brightly lit barge full of people dancing to silence (which turned out to be an as-yet-nameless Bollywood movie being filmed)


• Reptile with several good DJs and one terrible one who seemed to think that if he played three songs at the same time and hit lots of buttons we wouldn't notice that they were all awful remixes of good songs (we did, as did most of the dancefloor)


• Pancakes and smoothies in milk bottles with curly straws (the smoothies, not the pancakes)


• Driving through London in the sun on empty streets because everyone else in the world was in the pub


• Douglas Adams' virtual 60th birthday party, complete with towels, dancing rhinos, scientists, comedians, national treasures and a weird and wonderful mix of rock royalty. Warm, funny, celebratory, silly, educational, chaotic and very moving... especially Syd Barrett performing 'Wish you were here' (and it started late and overran, presumably to honour his very special relationship with deadlines!))

So what's next? :-)

I have a weekend of perversion and parents first (hopefully not both at the same time!) And two lots of theatre. And possibly a Tate. Um. Is that too much?

(I thought I was doing quite well this week on the taking it easy front as I 'booked' last night and tonight off so I could relax... unfortunately it turns out that when I do that I just work until 10 instead :-/ )

Sounds like a good week and definitely not too much! But you should have some time off. :)
