I love Thursdays

Besides being the day that precedes all Fridays, Thursdays are also known as the best day to go out in London. It's cheaper and not as busy as other nights.
It's also a kind of a student-y night, which means that everyone will be younger than you - that doesn't bother me 'cos I have no problem with my age, ok? - but it also means that the professional binge drinkers as they all work very early the next morning in the City, won't go out tonight - they are getting ready for tomorrow at around 3pm where you can catch them at any pub swallowing gallons of lager and bitter and puking their guts outs 3 or 4 hours later at some corner of some street.

The most important thing that happens on a Thursday though, is Miss Shapes at Ghetto.
Maybe it's a bit too much calling it the most important thing, but it's one of my favourite venues. I can dance to anything from OutKast to Franz Ferdinand, to Peaches and Dizzee Rascal, Kylie Minogue and Scissor Sisters, basically every song you wanna dance to that has a touch of quality pop-indie-hiphop-rock touch to it - not too commercial nor too indie.
The crowd is indie, laid-back, young and cute. Lots of girls since it's lesbo nite (is the term lesbo offensive? it's coming from a gay man, so f*ck the PC-ness) and cute guys as well. The organizers are the same that do Popstarz every Friday at the Scala.

I'm off home now - tough day at work. But my soul lightens knowing that I'll be having fun tonight - I'm gonna dance my socks off that's for sure. This sounds too american doesn't it? Hope I won't get a hangover tonight, but to avoid that there's always saviour paracetamol and loads of water.
