Rockin' Into the Night

Howdy! Well, I'm part way through the Bank Holiday weekend here in London. The spring bank holiday is on Monday, and we had Friday off, so we basically got a four day weekend. I've done a little basic wandering (which is so terribly easy to do in London), shopped, eaten and been to the theater.

Yesterday, my friend Greg and I went out to Leister square and got theater tickets to see "The Producers." Oh my God it was freakin hilarious. For those of you who don't know, "The Producers" is a play written by Mel Brooks about two Broadway producers who cook up a scheme that enables them to make money by producing the worst play ever. Well, combine that crazy plot with Mel Brooks and you get almost three hours of non stop laughter. It was fabulous.

Before we actually went to the play, we wandered through the famous Covent Garden market, since the theater we were going to was right near it. There were street vendors, mimes, clowns, shops, food, and all sorts of wonderful things. We ate the most interesting thing...in this country, waffles and pancakes are made into desserts. So, we got these (please don't kill me mom ;-) ) Caremel dipped waffles -- with chocolate sauce and ice cream on top. Mmmm...yummy sugar rush...I was wired for the rest of the day.

Then we went home for a bit, and then I joined some of my study abroad cohorts at our local watering hole for a drink. I ran into, yet again, my British "mates" from the first evening we went out. So our two groups hung out, drank, and listened to an AWESOME band (the played Eric f-ing Clapton!). That was really fun. Then, out of character for me, we went out to an after-hours club and danced till we dropped. That rocked. I got to drink and dance with my friends and it was simply fab. Admittedly, it was a really late night, but it was so worth it.

So, the pictures you'll find here are a few I took from the bar of me and my friends and a few other random ones. Hope you enjoy them and I'll have great stories for you all when I come home.

Cheers!
