how to spend a fairly cheap evening in the most expensive capital city

so we went to a film preview screening for journalists etc that i'd been invited to at a production house down soho (shattered glass, i liked it more than he did) that i don't have to write a review for 'cause someone else already has (hurrah)

then we went to the VX Collective launch party at Hospital in Covent Garden where they initially couldn't find our names on the guest list and where we continually downed the free champagne, made friends with two of the waiters, bitched about the idiots there (dude, you should have seen some of the outfits. try-hard much? such a shame), realised leah wood was there but got over that in about two seconds, talked shit, admired the canapes (mini shepherd's pie, mini fish and chips, mini toad in the hole) but i couldn't eat anything 'cause i don't eat meat, and wished we could see the annie liebovitz exhib better (shitty lighting in the gallery)

then we went for dinner at a thai place down wardour st that's one of those "bung-everyone-on-the-same-table" kinda places, like wagamamas, v nice, v cheap, i got confused by the bathrooms as they had weird symbols on them, noticed two girls in one so followed them in asking in they could read thai or something then they pointed out that the symbols were actually in the form of a figure sitting down (girls) and standing up (boys). kinda cool.

so in the end the only things i had to pay for was a travelcard and dinner. about sixteen quid in total. rock on. thank god for free drinks.
