B-Movie was wonderful and sorely needed. I have so missed going out and socialising. And seeing all you lovely people! [livejournal.com profile] redcountess was ill with the thing that's going around, so I went with [livejournal.com profile] arkady - on her first public outing as Arkady Ilyana Rose (by law). She wore the three straps and a special effect and I wore the skirt and a cotton shirt. Forgot my tits, dammit - I shall have to make a list beforehand for next time. (I am utterly unable to think coherently on a Friday between leaving work and finishing my first pint.) We got there around 9:30pm and walked straight in. I promptly removed my trousers, put on the skirt and sat for [livejournal.com profile] arkady to do my makeup for the entertainment of the crowd.

I don't think there was actually a queue all evening - people staying away in fear of the heat - but [livejournal.com profile] sexbat says the night broke even and people had a good time, and that's what counts. Attendees took over the pavement out front of Water Rats, which is probably a gross licence violation but was the only sane way to live. And certainly had the best air conditioning. The front half of the pub was near-empty, actually being the hottest part - the dancefloor area was cooler!

In an astounding attack of sanity, the pub put a jug of cold water on the end of the bar with pint glasses. I think they did this when they noticed everyone buying a pint was getting a pint of tapwater as well. This would have made the people generally more sober, except of course that their brains were all cooking.

I danced to "You Could Be Mine" by G'n'f'n'R for [livejournal.com profile] redcountess and [livejournal.com profile] mircea. [livejournal.com profile] childeric kept his top on all evening, just to be a contrary fuck. [livejournal.com profile] ali_anarres seems to have acquired a permanent silly grin. People sensibly decided clothes beyond technical decency were a ridiculous concept, and we have quite a few pics.

A top night. I do, however, think it's time to start an activist organisation dedicated to making air conditioning mandatory in all British public houses.

I suspect it'll be a very long time before I go to B-Movie again... possibly with the way things are, not again. London just feels too far to travel these days, I even baulk at traveling by bus 20mins to the otherside of town to go round to Paul's. Pathetic really :( Still roll on Whitby! I'll make that.. still gotta find all the money to pay for it mind... but we'll both be there :)
