Liquid Lab and Dead And Buried: goth for the Pure of heart.

Straight from work to dinner at the Liquid Lab with the Purists - a lovely time (and good food, and at least they had Hoegaarden to drink) with mircea, kitty_goth, incy, squiddity, childeric, zoo_music_girl, Dan Abel and denalyia. Mircea and Simon are such a cute couple. And her balls are so big!

zoo_music_girl and I then departed for Dead and Buried at Gossips. D&B was a TOP NIGHT. From 10pm (when we got there) to 11:30 or so, they played OLD school goth. I mean, pre-Sisters Of Mercy stuff. Back when goth was just emerging from punk and post-punk. Back before the Sisters turned goth rock into a load of guitar-and-drum-machine bands and fucked up everything for everyone ... We danced our little socks off. As in, "will the bastard start sucking any time soon? I'm dyin' here!"

By 11:30pm it was turning into crappy nu-mettul, and when Marilyn Manson came on Fiona decided it was time to end the night on a high note and Tube home. Of course, when she saw the setlist, she wished she'd stayed ...

The place filled up nicely, and the bar staff say they rented a lot of beer. Harassed mercilessly with the camera were cyberpunkgrrl, untermensch, corsetboy, perverse_idol (report), crystalfayre, sheridanwilde, zeke_hubris (report), gothstevek, silverfiligree (report), djpsyche and sx23, Louise who I think doesn't actually have an LJ ...

Cigarettes: trad-goth glowsticks.

Handy hint for incredibly quick bar service at Gossips: tip. A pound coin on each round does the trick nicely. Saves so much valuable time on a serious night's beer rental.

Some biker-looking guy made a point of telling me I looked like Biff Bifford. Bah!

I will never have a gym membership. So I just need to go out dancing three or four nights a week. Of course.

The next D&B is unfortunately up against B-Movie. They know this and know they may be fucked. But the club should have the third Friday each month thereafter. Let's hope they survive February's.

Tonight: Looks like I'm Sliming. Still a bit trashed from last night, but hey. You?

Update: Two pics up now, as prosecution evidence in the case of "perverse_idol and corsetboy: Cute or What?"
