Our location was Tad's house, which is crazy. This guy lives in Stoke Newington, in a "house" with a huge studio room covered in murials and graffiti, DJ decks at one end, stage at the other, sofas in one corner and a bar in the next! Oh and can't forget the 3 bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom off of the studio room. I an attempt to sound proof and darken the venue we taped sofa cusions and rugs to the windows. Pretty ingenious if you ask me, but it was still pretty loud.
Our night was also sponsored by Havana Club, so free Rum galore, and everyone knows Rum and Coke is my drink ;o) First things first me and Chan cut up about 40 limes, and I realised my hands were covered in random little cuts, as that stang like a muh fucker.
As well as our guestlist, a lot of the neighbours turned up to enjoy the free drink and music. The characters at this party were epic. Black Nerds Network quoted the night was "with out doubt it was the best atmosphere...party...show of the year so far!!!" I met the infamous David Elvis, some any 67 year old Elvis impersonator. He seranaded me, showed me photos of himself dressed as Elvis, he even showed me some moves, which had me quite worried as he looked like he was going to break something (that something most likely to be his hip). There was Steve, who never takes off his roller skates like ever, and he was pretty pissed that he was down as a plus one to get into his own house for a party, he also told me he was a dog whisperer and that he owned a mini bus... There was also that girl who had a bush of yellow flowers in her hair that kept crying... Obviously there were some relatively normal characters at the session, but either way everyone was super friendly, it really was a great atmosphere.
Performing on the night we had Analog Renaissance and United Vibrations. From outside I obviously didn't see the performances, but they sounded amazing.
