Well the Lady V has an Alice inspired costume sorted which she described as “slutty” (w00t!). So that leaves me thinking about sorting some sort of Mad Hatter thing, but I know apathy will rule and I’ll just slum around in my normal clothes.
Pirate is ALWAYS a good back up plan.
Dunno…
Halloween isn’t really a big thing here. And I don’t know where to go for fun stuff in London so far. :/
I’m back, and 18 at the moment so yeah can get into those kinda places now heh.
Nice website by the way Vorsuc, when did you make that? 🙂
I’ll probably sign up when I can be bothered. 😉
My god DP…. in London and no-where to go for Halloween? you should be shot.
Obvious answer is Slimelight, but if I remember right you need two members to sign you in, not sure if that is still the case but there’s PLENTY of London based goth mailing lists where you should be able to find friendly folk to get you in. It’ll be a certainty that they’ll have some sort of Halloween thing on. Another good hang out is the Devonshire arms, also known as the Dev, not sure where it is, but get your ass down to Camden market, should be plenty of goth stalls with folks you can talk to and ask about the scene, most are a friendly bunch.
London is one of only a handful of places in the UK with a strong Goth scene where you’ll be spoilt for choice. You’re also a short train ride from a lot of other fun places. If you get into the scene and make friends, you’ll find most weekends will be spent dodging train fares as you head off to some random gig/club night that you’ve been invited to by some random goth you talked to on the internet, to then spend the night on their sofa/floor.
i dont know if it still exists but for less mainstream fun you can always visit the Gossip’s ( 69 Dean Street, Soho, London W1 ) – they had a warm welcome for a german some years ago and so they will have for a londoner 😉
this here looks like a good list of london’s goth locations: http://www.rocknights.org/Country/UK/London.php
on netgoth.org.uk there was a statement that you could find people to take you with them into slimelight at a certain pub, however when i was there it looked like a yuppie pub without someone wearing even black socks, so for all i can say i wouldnt trust that information.
umm…well hi….i bought some wings..and stuff. yay me *skips away*
Nah, nah. Don’t know where you got London from (?)
I’m in Kent. Unfortunately. Around 26 miles from the centre of London, a good train journey and don’t really know anyone around in London or nearby who would be interested in going (bleh) – As you probably know Kent’s pretty much chav central, and while not everyone are chavs, it generally means there are less interesting people and fun things to do, heh..
Also yeah, I’m shy as fuck when it comes to groups of people I don’t really know, but have fun times with friends (at college usually, which is quite a distance. I live in a backwoods lameass village. I want to move to London when I can afford it.. I would have a full time job now if I quit college, 2 places, good paid jobs in design and publishing that I know for sure would take me). 😉 🙂
but that’s why the internet was invented, get on the groups, get talking to people and even though you are in Kent it shouldn’t be a problem as you’ll almost certainly be able to find crash space.
Besides part of the fun of clubbing is crawling out of some club in the AM, finding a greasy spoon to go get breakfast in and crashing someplace, park bench, bus shelter, train station, until the train/bus service home starts operating.
NetGoth, that Maestro mentioned is your best bet : http://www.netgoth.org.uk … I think that’s address, google for NetGoth if not.
Has regional listings of people, shops, clubs and mailing lists and such based on UK County.
For the new year, i consider ” the classic “: evil nazi
And incase i feel like putting on a costume nonetheless i might switch to my australian leather hat and go as Indiana Jones – switching to Nazi in the middle and then back. Or maybe pay hookers to run around as nazi chicks. Anyway, there need to be nazis involved.
I have an exam on monday….so am studying on halloween….how sad is that? 🙁 🙁
Plus….I’m pinning together AIDS awareness ribbons….have done like a million, and there is still so much ribbon left and so many pins too….my fingers are getting sore…. : 🙁
Dont worry Maestro … the woman here are cold enough.
The species will survive 😀
