HI all. I'm going to be travelling to London next week from the USA and was wondering if anyone could suggest any good places to visit, i.e. clubs, shows, etc. Thanks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
The Tower of London! That place rocks, all kinds of armor and stuff. Great place if you like that kind of thing . |

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shibumi- skate my friend.......it takes time,practice and lots of falling, bruises and saying "ouch" and "fuck" "fuck i have to try it again" p.s. i like street, better than ramps |
||||||||
|

|
|
Go to the demonstration against the war on March 30th if you're there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Right on. I guess I'll give it a whirl. It seems so much damn fun on the Tony Hawk game. Thanks for the suggestions Taoist! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Go to Tower Bridge it is good when it opens and there are a lot of nice bars near by so you can wait while drinking. Fabric is my favorite club. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would, but I'm leaving the 22nd. I'm going to see if I can get to the media festival in sheffield, but the timing will be tight. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also make sure you have tea at Harrods. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah Shi.... I am now 24 yrs old and ALOT more hesitant on my skateboard than when I was younger....Its tough to try anything now...I KNOW the consequences and I CARE now...lol know what I mean?... It is fun though man...If anything, just get your self a nice longboard and just ride it to the store or record shop once in awhile.... Just cruise it.... =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i know exactly what you mean....the pain DOES seem to be more intense.... I broke my ankle about 10 months ago tryin some shit I knew I could'nt pull off....LOL..... I almost swore off that thing forever. =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lol Yeah, I just turned 24 too and it does make me a little nervy about things like skating. I tried a bit when I was younger and finally brought my old board to where I live now, so maybe I will give it a shot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I'm going to try and head up to the festival in Sheffield. Its only up the road so... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You could go see the Lloyds building. Llyods of london...really cool modern architecture. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
architecture is sweet......... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
usually just street.... I was trying to noseslide this 8 stair rail...only darkslide nose.....lol..... I was not thinking stright...probably a little stoned too... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't go to Sheffield it is horable. The media festival is not that good and the town is ugly. Go to the Tate modern and have a look at some of Nam Jun Paiks stuff instead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
darkslide nose?? sorry i only know a few of the tricks names...dont really give a shite what they are called. and my skating is limited ya know? :0) SKATE OR DIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
darkslide - flip the board over and slide the griptape side and flip it back to land.... like i said, I wasnt thinkin....LOL... Right on ..Skate or Die indeed...! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah ive heard darkslide....im dum.... SKATE OR DIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Go and see the Tate Modern, built in the shell of an old power station, on the banks of the River Thames, the inside of the building is breathtaking huge as you walk in. Two floors of free galleries, modern stuff (1920s onward), plua the Warhol exhibition is on till 1st April, great place. Good record shops: Berwick street has loads of different ones. Don't bother with Virgin /HMV, waste of time. Camden Market is great also, records, clothes, wierd stuff. But it depends what your interests are i guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's for the record shop suggestions, Sgt. . I was in England about a year ago and tried to find some bootleg radiohead in Oxford, but to no avail. I guess just shops that have a good electronic selection and stuff. The place I live has almost nothing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Berwick street is in SOHO and has a laods of record shops on it. Try if you are looking for techno/afx and a bit of indy. Other wise try camden's exchange for old AFX. They will almost certainly have some. They are a second hand dealer so stock is constantly changing. Try your luck. I have come up trumps every time I go. Let me know how you get on Q |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Check the link to sister ray above. I have just had a look at what they ahve got in.......take your wallet they seem to have a lot of AFX at present! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|

I was in Starbucks yesterday. The guy burned my panini bread sandwich to a crisp, it was completely black on one side. He brought it over and said "If this one's too burnt for you i suppose i could do you another..." (!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess a parrot sixed panini is likely to burn in a thrice. Can you blame the underpaid gircher? Q |
