NYE

I have a ticket to Planet Angel for NYE, but I'm thinking twice about going. The last few times I've been to Angel I didn't enjoy it that much, mostly because the mood of the crowd seems to have changed. The crowd is younger, drunker, pushier. I don't feel as comfortable there as I used to, and I'm anticipating that NYE will be even more touristy than usual.

Besides, my lovely [livejournal.com profile] romauld is working all evening behind the bar at the Pembury, and for far less money I could spend a few hours with him drinking good beer and playing games and listening to the live blues band they have booked. They have a late licence, so I can stay as long as I like before heading to a houseparty to get it ready for when the Angellers return. It's going to be cheaper, less hectic, less far away and less of a commitment than Angel. If I'm not having fun, going somewhere else will be much easier.

Would anyone else be up for seeing in the New Year at the Pembury? [livejournal.com profile] elise was talking about joining me, but lovely as her company is, I'm not sure how much of a party it'll be if she and the barman are the only people I know there. If I can collect a small group of people who aren't keen on the idea of midnight on a dancefloor, it'll make my decision much easier :)

Potentially.

I plan to be at the Pembury as do many of the people who usually hang out there on Sundays - it should be good.

Sadly I'll be on the Cowley Road - but will I see you the night before at Gemini??

Hm, quite possibly, yes.


Out of curiosity, do you already have a new home for your Angel ticket?
