SOFAR: SONGS FROM A ROOM
I've started a new job and its heavy going. Its called The Hour, and is a 1950's drama for the BBC, starring Ben Whishaw (I love him!) and Dominic West. Its going to look bloody amazing, but the hours (see what I did there) are a killer and after coming straight off the back of Diary of a Call Girl,
I'm completely knackered. All week I have been getting in from work and going to straight to bed, so that lights are off most nights at about 9.30pm. Its ruining my party girl reputation! So when I parked my car after work on Thursday after another heavy day, I was prepared to go straight to bed, but instead I bumped into my good Friend and neighbour Laura May. She was all excited and started telling about the event they had organized in there unit that night. Helen our friend and her flat mate had arranged for a night called Sofar: songs from a room, to be held in their house hold. Sofar is a night which has different bands playing from some one's own front room. Thursday there were four bands playing and probably a lot bigger audience than usual, as the warehouses can fit a lot more people in. I got to sit in the VIP area at the top of warehouse looking down on everything, as I was in there with the crew. It was a great evening with some great music ( my favourite band of the night was the third, Ex Libras). Of course it being the wick, there is always something strange going to happen, and it did. I had the best chat up line ever, or worst depending on which way you look at it. So I was stood in the corridor having a drink when this guy waltzes up to me and said:
"You look rather nice and your breathing. Fancy a fuck!"
Well what do you say to that? "Piss off of course!" Why do I always get them. In fact another guy I know asked me if I wanted sex with him that night! Whats going on? I had to ask my house mates if they had written on my back "I want a shag!" They laughed. Apart from that it was worth staying up for, and was really nice to have a bit of a life for one night. I paid for it the next day at work though. You win some, you lose some.
