Fish Seeks Bike

I went to a night out in Bournemouth last night called 'Fish Seeks Bicycle.' It's hard to explain, but basically it's one of those very VERY alternative nights where they have random bands playing random music. For example, one of the bands was playing Irish jigs. The lead singer got naked. Bit of a shock, but once you've been to enough of these nights, nothing really shocks you anymore.

There's always a fancy dress code, and this time it was 'showdown.' Basically, dress as weirdly and wonderfully as you can, and truy outdo everyone else with your outfit. There were swashbuckling pirates, a man dressed as a carrot and a LOT of big blue afro's. I decided to do the Vogue thing and wear a black vintage drss with leggings and pull out all the stops on the dramatic black makeup and bedhead hair.

Naturally, there was the usual loved-up atmosphere that comes with those nights. Despite atrocious queues for the bar, (I blagged my way to the front every time!) nobody seemed annoyed and there was none of the aggression that usually comes with a Saturday night out in Bournemouth. No men grabbing my arse, no one spilling drinks on me, and no fights.

The tunes got better and better as the night went on. Bring on more nights like this one, and less nights where you queue for hours for a taxi, admist people being sick in the street. Fish Seeks.... everytime!
