Rebel Bingo

I've never taken much notice of Rebel Bingo, to me, it was just another one of those over hyped events that's vomited all over Facebook, in the same league as Hootchi Coohcti and Shabba Dabba Da.

Being stubborn by nature, if something is over promoted it makes me want to go even less as, in Bristol, over promotion usually means a club full of screaming 17 year olds of whom I have nothing in common. Last night was be far no exception. The Skins curse is still having effect on every organized event in Bristol. Since the introduction of the Various Secret Skin's parties and Rave scenes, the Bristol youth have become obsessed with looking as Nu rave and High street as they possibly can as well as being as screamy, excitable and loud as humanly possible at such events. They forget that, unlike the Skin's parties, They are not being filmed, so there is no purpose or need in standing out. The skins party etiquette lives on.

May I just declare, I'm never been to any other Rebel Bingos and my sources confirm that they are good-say if in the right places.. Bristol is not the right place for anything thats not Dubstep or vegan.

Rebel Bingo was hosted in Motion, though it should be called "Mission" for it never ceases to be one. Motion is a skate'n'ride park by day and flat-peak'n'check-shirt park my night. Like I've only had one good time there, it was in 2007, it was my first time, I went with Tamysn after she took me to a Scouting for girls gig. She assured me they would be famous, I guess she was right.

So anyway, I went to Rebel Bingo, and like most events and nights, I'll only go if it's free. If one's not on the guestlist, what's the point in going? I like my money spent on worthwhile and sensible things like Gordon's and Bombay Sapphire.

Rebel Bingo served as a reminder of how out of touch I am, I mean, evidently, it would appear I'm seriously uncool, for I didn't find the numerous and repetitive references, jokes and puns about ketamin humourous, and since when, may I pounder, did people start doing ketamin again? :s

I can safely declare that I didn't participate, neither in the bingo or drawing loads of penises all over my body. Even though the prizes were good, I didn't need any of them, and besides, even if I did win, I couldn't think of anything worse than to get on stage and make a exhibition of myself. Decorum and self respect are my middle names thus jumping around and rolling all over the floor because I've won a stuffed Panda has never really been 'my thing'.

I found some familiar's, one being Tabi. She positioned herself in a way that enabled her to see Gentlemens' units as they used the portable toilets. Tabi loves male parts just as much as the next person, and to be honest, it wasn't as if there was any other interesting specimens to look at and on that note, when did people get so short? I wish people would start growing, I want to fancy people too you know.

So, the American apparrel workforce collective and I decided to ditch motion and head of to Start the bus, mainly because mine sweeping in Motion is impossible. Between the five of us we only managed to swipe a 1/4 full bottle of red stripe. We got to Start the bus and it was just a little too crowded, people were standing on sofa's and tables and you couldn't move. Tabi Mine swept Contently and I morphed into a Nun.

Calum was out, obviously.

Calum has adopted a mustache. He's also decided to wear unweathered, complete, unsoiled t-shirts and jeans. The other night he was wore plimsoles. He looks like one of those people that has just come out of rehab or found God or something. It's my guess he's heading towards some sort of breakdown or identity crisis, we'll soon tell by the music he plays next Thursday, though at the rate that he's changing, by next thursday he'll probably be referring to himself as Clarissa.

I wandered to Thekla but I wasn't allowed in due to the new rules, which sucks as I'm working all week, and I couldn't go there on my only night off. This rule, though a good idea in theory, has pretty much destroyed my social life for every night I plan to go to Thekla, it's always understaffed, so in other words, The only club my friends and I ever go to is no longer a guaranteed option so now begins the grueling task of finding a new place to hang out, which is easier said than done in Bristol.

What evs.
