"Do you wanna come?"
Last night my uncle invited me to go see his brother in law. I agreed. My sister also came along.
Mathew, visiting from Canada, Anielia, Thomas and I got on a train to London Bridge. We didn't even leave the station, just walked to a weird arch that came out of nowhere, "we're on the list, Thomas plus 1" got our hands stamped and started walking down a long tunnel in the dark. There were lights but it was very surreal and there was some techno beat sounding music coming from the far end of the....building/tunnel/whatever the hell it was.
We got to the end of the tunnel (which was all underneath London Bridge) where there was a dimly lit bar and then a stage with a guy singing.
The guy was pretty terrible, no one was dancing, but you had to give him points for trying. If there was more people I could imagine them getting into the music, but the singing was a bit too...alternative/ wacky.
We happened to be standing next to the worst dancers in the world, they really got on my nerves, so much that I got a headache and had to look away. Apart from that I was amazed, kept looking around with my mouth probably wide open and asking my uncle questions about the place and if they rented it out and if they ever had club nights. My mouth was probably watering too, it really was quite cool. And there was some type of ping pong music playing.
Then Superthriller came on, We guessed Kunja was totally naked on the drums(couldn't see bottom half) , the lead singer was in nursing sweats, keyboard dude was in a suit, percussionist was half naked and adorable and so enthusiastic and excited. Some other guy on keyboard was in a bright yellow smiling t-shirt but he never smiled only one not dancing. Then there were 3 backing dancers/singers who were TERRIBLE. But it was good. The messed up their song (the girls) and this really ugly woman just said in a really british accent "I'm gonna do what I want," and the others ad libbed from then on. The best part of their song was this petite woman sing/shouting "SUCK SUCK SUCK." I loved.
We left early, set was a bit late and long, but I really enjoyed it though, more than I thought I would.
We got on a train where a man wouldn't move his briefcase when I asked to sit down, so I had to squash next to my uncle, was tempted throughout the next few stops to look at him and say, "well I hope you and your briefcase are comfortable."
We made fun of my sister constantly and sang "Rice and peas and cook up some, wait-'til-me-mama-come," loudly through orpington station, got some hot pizza (while taunting anielia who was on the phone to her friend) got freaked out by a man staring at us in Dominoes and had a nice walk home in puddles and the dark.
That, along with setting off french bangers in the garden added up to a very good day.

I'd stab anyone who refused to move anything to let me sit down.
