Last night I had the pleasure of heading out to Dalston… or is it Kingsland? It was the Dalston Kingsland stop on the overground, so I’m going to say it was both. I think technically it’s Hackney. It was my friend’s birthday celebration, and we doubled it up by attending a concert of another friend of ours.
The theme of most of the places that the band generally performs at, tend to be 1920’s burlesque, do-wop… whatever you want to call it. I do not possess the proper attire for these places, so generally I look out of place, regardless.
The place was pretty pact. And there was an interesting crowd. Though, I did have my favorites. The first person I noticed was this guy, who, I could have sworn! He was a real vampire. He had that kind of odd 17th century style jacket that looked very Tom Cruise “Interview with the Vampire.” By the way, for all the teens out there that love “Twighlight”, “Interview” and Anne Rice were the original gangsters of the vampire romance thriller. Get some knowledge. In the end, when I was closer, I realized this guy was wearing a mighty helping of makeup. That may have been why he looked so vampire-ish. Also, British guys are pale.
Going on: There was also an old man who looked exactly like Keith Richards! No joke. It may have even been Keith Richards. The ladies loved him. He didn’t exactly have to worry about the shortage of poon in his future, if you catch my drift. He could have also pulled off being the Mad Hatter. I think Keith Richards could maybe be the Mad Hatter… All these appearances are interchangeable.
The second doppelganger of the night was the dude from the Mummy. NOT Brendan Fraser. The dude that plays the mummy. It looked as though he had maybe decided to take a break from his attempts at world domination, throw on a checkered shirt, and dance out his aggression. The mummy was having a grand old time. All smiles. None of that, I’m going pull your heart out of your chest, shit. It was nice to see him relaxed and getting loose.
Now this next guy, didn’t look like anyone. In fact, he was so dull looking he may have been just been a piece of plain white paper. It’s totally possible. A friend of a friend had a good point. He said, “What kind of person intentionally wears a white button up shirt to go out?” And it’s true. He was incredibly bland. I mean, I wouldn’t have found him more attractive if he was wearing a better shirt. But, it didn’t help his cause – which was, by the way, hitting on any girl who made eye contact with him. It’s kind of sad. I was going to ask myself, “Why is it that the guy hitting on everyone isn’t ever attractive or interesting?” Why? Because attractive interesting guy waits for the ladies to come to him. And he has the right to. I would totally approach attractive interesting guy, if I had the balls.
Aside from all these off characters, the night was a lot of fun. I did some serious dancing. And I also had a weird sort of kiss with the drummer from my friend’s band. I wouldn’t even call it a kiss so much, as an odd face grab/head rub. Strangest male interaction I have ever had. I’m pretty sure I was laughing at it, and at one point I was asked, “I feel like you aren’t taking me seriously.” Well of course I am not! First of all, I don’t take kissing seriously, and secondly, it was just ALL very awkward.
So anyways… those were the highlights. I apologize if this sucks. I am not very motivated at the moment. And my back hurts. Wah wah wah…
