in two days time...

i will be in london. it's been a whole 3 years since i've been and it feels like forever. i used to be completely obsessed with the city across the pond. it had everything i loved at the time... all the music i was buying was coming out of london, the club experiences i'd had there were some of the best i'd attended, the shopping and sightseeing was always great, and the people i met there were just plain cool (consumed with the same things i was).

it should be interesting to see how i feel about it now that i've been in ny for 3 years. back when i was obsessed, i suppose i was comparing it to LA, thinking how much cooler london was. i'll be curious to see how and if my perspective has changed. not only has my geographic location changed since i've been back, but i'm just not as into the whole club/dj culture as i once was. could change my mind a lot.

but this time i will be visiting with more friends i've made over the years, staying at various residences. i'll be back at greg's. always loved shoreditch and of course, his places. i'll also be staying with lucy, my dear friend i made while she was living in ny (whom i was introduced through greg... the music/club connections have proven to be excellent for meeting new friends!). and i'll also crash at martin's the first night (my new friend here in ny, who is lucy's cousin). sorta small world stuff. he just happens to be flying back to london the same day and time as me. what luck!

so the itinerary for the 2 weeks is as follows:
wed--arrive in london
fri-sun--go to the big chill with lucy and friends... this will be my third big chill and i'm super excited to be going again
mon-fri--hang in london (leba coming to join me)
sat-tues--go to edinburgh for theater festival with greg and tess
wed--head home

how fun is that? i am blessed.
