Alex On: Eggscellent

Wow! the Head Honcho's (Dan and Becky) have deemed me worthy enough to post my own, erm, post?!!

So, let me introduce myself, I'm Alex, I work at lastminute.com, on both the Restaurant and the Theatre sections on the site.  I have a lovely pair of coconuts (direct from Spamalot) and I'm a closet rock star.  I say closet as i can't play any instrument, apart from the Trombone - hardly rock and roll and i cant sing/dance/sway/tap feet - only a few minor hitches really.

Anyway, lets get down to the weekend, it's a beaut! 4-days of rest I hear you say, but NO! I see it as 4 days of pure indulgence of high octane adventure. So, I guess the best way to do it, is to tell you what I'll be up to.  Tonight I'll be in my local pub, enjoying the first of many glorious pints of pure delight, and I'm sure I'll then head off to some sort of dive that passes itself off as a club.  Fri night I'm hosting a poker night.  It's rather unusual for me to be excited about staying in, but there's something strangely awesome about this event, it's my first time hosting, and it feels almost like some sort of passage into manhood.  Anyway, I digress, Sat night, I'm heading off into Camden,   where I'll be drinking in the worlds biggest pub (probably), The Worlds End.  Then I'll trek below to it's sister club, The Underworld, where there will be some pretty funky gigs, including Robin Black who has been highly recommended to me - check out their outfits!  And then it turns into an awesome Indie night, playing everything from Red Hot Chili's to System of a Down to The Libertines.  Then on Monday, I'm off go-karting. Hows that for High Octane? I may even dress as toad from Mario Kart!

Happy Easter! (and i apologise for the atrocious pun, i promise that the next title will be much better)

Ooooh go-karting, what joys. Make sure you get pics,.. how much does that stuff cost? I always liked bumper cars at the fair...

hmmm, i'll certainly try and take pics, but it may mean spinning out of control and losing the race and perhaps even a limb!! It only costs £30 for two 15 minute races - bargain!
