Ahh Hoxton

Posted on April 19, 2008 by

All a bit too Mighty Boosh for my liking, but a good night out.

We’ve had Jessa from Bookslut staying with us for the week as she was covering the London Book Fair, so a bit of a book geek bash seemed in order.

Pub / Thai / pub / tube/ home/ whisky and kittens.

With Jess, James, Liv, Ben, Mecca and… oh yeah… after a drop of single malt we finally saw Rob’s alter ego: The Hinch

We also saw the Hoxton locals share an expensive looking wheel chair which seemed to be the latest fashion accessory, a guy looking very relaxed waiting for the tube as he filled his shoes with vomit and then we somehow managed to catch the Death Carriage with the puke guy and yet the smell of fresh human excrement seemed to be coming from another part of the train entirely.

I love living in the city.

Wait I’m confused… was the fancy wheelchair being used by an actual disabled person, or were a bunch of able-bodied kids just using one for fun? If I the latter, I honestly don’t know how I feel about it… although I’m leaning towards “awesome.”

Unless it was more like this article, in which I would lean towards “sign of the End Times.”

We *think* the latter. We saw a girl showing off her underwear en route to the bar. When she came back she took over the wheelchair. Later there was another guy in it. We considered the bar was using it as a ‘novelty’ seat which would fit in with the terribly ‘ironic’ music and the fact that everyone in there had at least five haircuts (© Rob).

But then saw yet another guy in it outside.

Subsequently figured out that the chair probably belonged to one of the party who moved into a pub chair on arrival leaving his mates to have some fun. Maybe.

Forget it, Jake. It’s Hoxton.
