Nov. 6th, 2006 09:09 pmI had quite a pleasant weekend, oh dear, it's only the first sentence and I already sound like a middle-aged man from the 50s. Never mind. On Saturday I went to the popular monthly young persons' social club, Stay Beautiful. I met up with my friend Dan, who usually favours electro clubs but is quite open-minded, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dream_electric and her gentleman friend Chris :)
Unfortunately we didn't arrive late enough to avoid the band. They were The Acute, a Scottish guitar rock threesome who reminded me uncomfortably of Busted, despite their continual efforts to seem edgy and hard by scribbling slogans about their persons and shouting barely coherent anti-English abuse. Afterwards Dave Ball from Soft Cell did a great DJ set, which included Empire State Human, Warm Leatherette and special remixes of Sex Dwarf and Dreaming of Me.
I didn't think much of the other DJing, though, and I don't understand why they must always play Gary Glitter. It's not *that* funny. Dan and I left about 1.30, which was just as well as apparently later on, the building had to be evacuated after people's sparklers set off the fire alarm, and everyone had to stand outside without their coats.
On Sunday night we watched Gothika, a horror film about a psychiatrist who suddenly wakes up to find that she herself has been incarcerated in the asylum where she works. I thought it was very good, a clever plot and a good mix of supernatural and real-life horror.
