crawling in camden

crawling in camden

drove to town with frances and brian.

had a rushed burger and a pint lunch in fulham before photographing chrissie hynde and her manager gail.

had a short but happy shoot.
chrissie was very cool: she was coming out with some classic comments: she's a proper rock chick.
very funny.

checked into the hilton and went to the camden crawl with crispin.

saw: 'dan le sac and scroobius pip', 'late of the pier' and a bit of 'hadouken'.

had dinner at the camden brasserie (with frances too, who after some strawberry mojitos managed to set fire to her napkin...by accident?) and upset two older ladies who were gawping at me and openly laughing.

managed to feel extremely old, out in camden.
everyone else were kids.
admittedly it's been about 14yrs since i've been out there.

had a slight flash back of excitement going into KOKO (the old camden palace): i used to love going to 'feet first' there.
even frances who is 12 yrs younger than me was many years older than the average camden crawler.

after deener, avoided amy whinehouse and the BRMC: despite our AAA laminates the queues were way too long.
managed to find the least popular venue in camden and saw 'kitty, daisy and lewis' who were great and 'david e sugar' who gave me a headache despite being quite melodic.

crispin drove me back to the hilton: round and round the hilton for 1/2 and hour, scuppered by no left turns and one way streets.
bed by 1am?

 

while i was having fun in london.
z, mrs.perou and maximum were back at margate A&E: z had managed to knock the stitched end of his finger of again.
