hijinks and glowsticks in shoreditch


we met kim & michael for drinks in shoreditch at The Princess and then at the Old Blue Last. michael, fresh from his jaunt to rotterdam drinking heineken with abnormally tall blond men, showed up in a full-on NY Yankees outfit, including hat, jersey and American accent. "it's hallowe'en," he said, but i suspect he wears that outfit to bed every night anyway.

at one point, an enterprising oriental man (erm, yes, that's what they're - i mean, we're - called here) came into the bar with an armful of flashing lights - some of them were even wrapped around his ears! - and kimberly and i gave each other these looks and we cringed. but tom marched right over to him, gave him 2 pounds, and then promptly went into glowsticking mode. it was truly amazing.

here's a link (good for 7 days) to some footage of tom in action after his violent glowsticking got us kicked out. and then the girls, not to be outdone, did some tapdancing. "spirit fingers!"
