Brown Girl in London

Get your trance on

Friday evening was a traditional one. Traditional in terms of being a night for partying, dancing, and staying out late, late, late! HD and I went with Supa and his cousins to Turnmills club, down on, where else, Turnmills Street right off the Farringdon tube stop.

First stop was a pub where we met up with Supa's cousins and had a drink. HD and I had a Classic Pimms, it's a fairl common drink in England and I kept reading about it in those Brit chicklit books like Shopaholic. Around 10:30pm we made our way down the street to Turmills - it was a big night there too because Armin Van Buren was deejaying. Turmills is a trance club so it was all trance all night. At first I thought it might be just a little annoying to only hear one type of music all night but once we were there, with the music surrounding us, we couldn't help but get our groove on. It was a great night and I wish I had thought to bring my camera because the light show was awesome.

It was totally crowded all night - the people didn't stop moving once. I reached my end point around 2:00am and HD shortly thereafter, so we found some seats in this room where the smoke formed a thick haze and waited for Supa and friends to finish dancing. As soon as we sat down an old dude came up to us and asked us how we're doing, where we're from and then asked us if we read the bible and if so, do we read it for ourselves or old-fashioned and then told us he works in elevation, at Otis Elevators. Hmm. I told HD to stop looking at him, because he was in her line of view, and he left us alone. Then we saw him dancing by himself with his eyes closed and his hand beating himself on his chest. Then Supa came and we left. It was nice to breathe in the fresh air!

Got home around 4am, went to bed and slept really well.
