Rachel, Alicia and I embarked on Portobello Road today, and it was SO MUCH FUN! We looked at all the antiques especially jewelry, ‘oohing and aahing’ because we knew we couldn’t afford them so it was ok to try everything on. I found an olive stand which is my idea of heaven, and had some olives stuffed with feta for lunch. I wound up getting a few things there, like a jazz CD collection for my parents which looked really eclectic so I think they will love it. I got a bag for myself that was really colorful so I know I made the girls proud. I also got this really funky stainless steel ring that I absolutely love and it was cheap so I don’t feel bad about it at all. We also ate fresh fruit from venders on the street and found a crepe place and the three of us shared a Nutella and banana crepe on the sidewalk. I think the girls will agree that crepe was a highlight of the day. The atmosphere at the market was cheery and everyone seemed to be in a good mood, I absolutely loved it there.
At night we all got dressed up because we had been waiting to go to Fabric forever. My roommate studied abroad in London last winter and I received a three page email telling me about this club. Eric looked over the DJ set for the night and Goldie who is supposed to be incredible was going on at 3 so we had to be there for him. I usually trust Eric’s taste when it comes to house music so I couldn’t wait. We went over to the other flats because they were on the way to the club and then we headed over.
Oh my god. This place was ridiculous. There were three different rooms, some with hardcore drum and base others with American hip hop. The music was sound loud I thought I was going to die…seriously. I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest. A lot of our friends left early because it was just getting to be too much, but somehow Rosie, Alicia, Eric, Martin and I made it until Goldie came on and then I had to go home. It was probably the most intense place I have ever been to and ever will go. I am defiantly glad we went because club like Fabric are a huge part of the music scene in London.
