When we got to London Arena, , i lost my new friends in the throng of people and forgot to get their contacts. And it wasn't only them that i lost. Once inside the arena, my fuschia feather boa went missing.
Lesson learnt:never bring a boa with u to a gig haaha.....
What a great way to end my Dec2000 holiday in London. Mwahaha.... a top night it was at Orbital 'live' @ London Arena on NYE. All thanks to Orbital webmaster actually.
It was better than zouking on a Friday night and i wished Eliza, Angel, Lukie, Kat, Chwee & Jerry were there. Instead, i had company of dance revellers in torch specks & Steve and new friends, Phil & Ali and Matt. Not that i'm complaining off course. :)
Orbital 'live' gave me a new found respect for the 2 techno boffins. my fave part that night was hearing 'chime' mm.., 'halycon' and 2 tunes from THe Altogether album: 'Tension' and 'Tootled'. The atmosphere was so different and by the time 'satan' came on..i was lost in the music.
Too bad my my camera decided to go dead just right after midnight. Steve came to the rescue, i think lol. Leffield and Africabambata came on next and about 4am, Could have danced all morn if Steve didn't fall off the floor ... pooped and wanted to call it a night. lol
ANdy Weatherall started his set and that was when we started our way out of the arena wrapped in silver foil or something called bubble wrap in some parts of the world. It kept me warm but cosier was the rapture of the night of floor moping tunes. Woke up next morn on NYD with da choons still in my ears, or was that something else ... lmao
Top night, lovely morning. The best nYE eva and If i could do it all over again, i would i would i would :) |
