Last weekend we went to this awesome club called Koko for what was Button Down Disco. It was supposedly a hipster(indie) theme, so all my roommates dressed up. We were probably the only one's that didn't get the "Hey, its themed, but don't actually dress up" memo. We will take note of that for next time. It was AWESOME. Picture in your head a really nice and enormous theater that you would go to see a giant Broadway musical in. It basically looked like that with all the seats taken out. The main floor was the dance floor and then there were balconies upstairs with another bar. It was pretty awesome. There are two more of these nights while we're here so we are all planning on going.
On Sunday we all went to the Portobello Road Market for a few hours. It was one of the coolest outdoor markets I have ever been to. We made the mistake of going into a cafe because we were so hungry. Down the road there was more fresh, delicious, amazing food than you could ever imagine. Some people ended up eating again, but I didn't want to spend the money. Later that night, it was time for the Superbowl. And when I say later, I mean way, way, way later.
The Superbowl here does not start until 11:30. A little messed up if you ask me. I really didn't care who won so I cheered for the Packers because everyone I was watching it with hated the Steelers, so I was not about to swim upstream against that. Another downfall of spending Superbowl Sunday in London is they do not provide the proper commercials. Actually they don't play any commercials at all. It was rather frustrating. During what would have been normal commercial breaks, they jumped two these two Americans and a British guy(who knew nothing about football) who spoke basically repeated all the commentating that already happened. Why would I want to watch that?
Today I had to go down to Portobello Road area again for my Marketing class to go to the Museum of Brands, which was really cool. They had products from back in even the 1800s. It basically showed all the different ways people have packaged, marketed, and advertised different products. They separated it into ares divided up by different eras and then each decade of the 1900s.
Tonight I am going to a play that our school gave us free tickets to so hopefully that will be pretty entertaining. And then tomorrow four of my roommates and three of the girls next door are going to Paris. I am really excited. I could have left a few hours ago but most everyone has class tomorrow so I am not about to go by myself. But we'll leave Friday afternoon and then come back Sunday night. It should be pretty fun so I will try and blog as soon as I get back.
This is a picture of the club that I stole from Google.
