In which I discover nice vegan food, and a rather good band...

Ahem. 140205. Just feel the angst!! (and it isn't even February yet...) *fears*

Talking of angst, I saw a lot of goths last night. snow_leopard's lovely sister is in town, and we descended like a bundle of kittens upon the Dev, which predictably was full of goths. And more goths. And also a bad_faery and a glenndm and Emily. And they are fab, please always remind me that I know lots of fab people, who despite my struggling plans to become a social hermit this year, I should see more often. After the usual "chocolate guinness" we landed in the Thai Vegan Buffet place (opposite Super Bowl noodle), and this was a culinary revelation for me. *Gorgeous* vegan food. Plate-lickingly nice. And all-you-can-eat as well, so...er...we did exactly that. Bits that looked like meat, and tasted like meat, in heavenly thai sauces, but um actually vegan nice goodness. If all vegan food was like this (which I know it isn't...) I'd be an instant convert. Absolutely must go back there. Is so nice. And so cheap too! *lickslips*

I left the others and ventured out on a mission to find more goths. And being Camden, there are no shortage. devalmont is guitarist for Kreuzdammer, who played their first gig at the Purple Turtle last night. Industrial style EBM with guitars, or something. Very impressive, both to listen to and as a visual performance (with the laser of dooooooooom!) - expect much good things from them in the future. Totally blew raspberries at the headline band. Great to see _ebb_ was there as groupie, looking pretty as usual, and I found a random_goth hiding in a cute little bundle with his mysterious Finn E at the back. Oh, and I batted my lashes at the lovely euphuistica until she nancy-boyed me up with eyeliner and lipstick. Vain, me? *prettysmile*

I've got the afternoon off work today! Yaaaaaaaaay! I will be preparing being a chauvinistic idiot for Lysistrata tomorrow, and seeing if I can come up with a good costume. Am very excited. *bounce*

I'm not looking either. That's how I know there are *2* anonymous messages of love for me there on the very first page for F. They sound all very platonic and so that is perfect as I'm very happy with my Nini. :)

Again was good to meet you - I found it far too loud to talk properly there. Hopefully I'll get to talk to you at a quieter location sometime - most likely in Cambridge, as thats where we both seem to visit a lot. ;)

I didn't realise you didn't live there!! As I'm planning on moving down there in late June we'll definately see far more of each other.

By the way, I've just discovered how talented Nini is. I always assumed her icon was from a Henry Clarke / Aubrey Beardsley illustration but it seems it is actually by the fair lady herself. *is impressed*

I'd tell her directly but it is far nicer to randomly come accross a compliment when you least expect it elsewhere.

I moved out of Cambridge in 1999, now I'm in London. Cambridge is a lovely place to live - am glad you're moving there.

Nini's pretty art is one of the many reasons I love her so much. She's taking her portfolio to the Slade College of Fine Art on Friday, and with luck they will give her a place there. :)
