I went to my first concert in London on Friday night…well, technically it was my second, but it was my first big venue event.  I went to see the Black Eyed Peas with my friends Parul, Angela, and Sonia.  They played at the Brixton Academy down in south London.  The venue was interesting, it looked a bit like a theater you would see Romeo and Juliet in.  We were standing on the concert floor, which was sloping downward.  The show was awesome, I don’t own any of their albums but the few songs I knew (Where is the Love, Hey Mama, Lets Get Retarded), I liked.  You don’t have to be a big hip hop fan to like their music and I would definitely recommend going to the show. 

On Saturday night, I hung out with some friends from work.  We started the evening at Waxy O’Conners, a seemingly small, quaint place from the outside.  Once you enter though, you realize appearances can be deceiving, it’s huge and loud!  It was jam packed…mostly with Chelsea (Football club) fans, apparently they won some huge match that day.  We saw a lot of them getting on the tube earlier, wearing their signature blue shirts and singing the club’s anthem…of which I didn’t understand a word.  One of these days I’ll make it to a football game, they are supposed to be quite the experience here.  Of course, the evening went on until what is becoming the more and more usual 4AM.  The next day was quite relaxing.  I went to Drummond Street for some good Indian food at this vegetarian restaurant called Chutney’s.  Afterward, I saw a Hindi movie that I would recommend NOT seeing called Kaal…it was terrible!  Luckily, it was only two hours as opposed to the usual three hours that are customary of indian flicks.
