Joyful Thursday

11-13-2008

This evening rocked harder than I expected it to. I did expect some rocking, more than a baby in a crib kind of rocking, but not quite as much rocking as I got.

Kaity and I made plans earlier in the week to see The Joy Formidable, whom we saw open for Does it offend you, Yeah?, a couple of Sundays ago. After 'Formidable' finished there set that night, we decided we'd have to try and find them again before we booked out of London.

Before we went to see them though, stopped by the ISH bar and saw posters for the World Dinner put on by the International Student's House which was starting just as we were entering the building. Down in the theatre, they set up a buffet on each side of the floor, one side veggie and other other with meat, and in the middle large bean bags served as seating. For a free meal, this buffet had it all: shrimp, chicken legs, deep fried meat on a stick, barbecue wings, all done with a unqiue flair from somewhere around the world. Plus free sangria and another ethnic alcoholic beverage that included a lot of crushed leaves and fresh spices. They even supplied a DJ who was spinning clubbing tracks from around the world. The atmosphere was very clubbish as you had to yell over the music to talk, which was rather odd for a dinner. But all around a pretty solid meal.

After the food, which rocked, we got our socks rocked off by The Joy Formidable at the Wilmington Arms just off of Farringdon. A solid show of which I will post some video eventually. Super nice folk as well. We chatted a bit after the show. Gotta love down to earth indie artists.

And probably the best part of the night was the munchies afterward, as Kaity pulls out
her McChicken and it was missing a bottom bun. High quality eating.
