So it's the morning after and I'm trying to gauge the collective ILE sore head. Right, then: about last night?

New Answers, yo. With apologies to The Specials, my name's Suzy and I'm going to enjoy myself first.

First, chaos due to fashion attack; I was trying for Serena from Bewitched hair and had to go for the Addicted To Love look when it didn't work. Raf Simons/David Sims view was rammed with art/fashion collision, natch, with all the art people pretentiously dissing the frivolous fashion folk.

The cream of this crop then stumbled over to Soho House for one of those parties where you just know fucking in toilets on drugs will be happening, but not to nice girls and not 'til much later. There was a gorgeous model boy there who was an 18-yr-old Positive Punk from the upper west side, Esther and Heather were smitten with him. I met Raf Simons and blabbed with him for ages. Then admired a girl's vintage coat/dress combo and it dawned on me: Roisin Murphy. Roisin was pretty graphic about what she wanted this yummy photographer type we were scoping to do to her. Go Roisin!

Everyone was veh veh drunk. I wore my Cat Hat and had a Girl Solidarity Moment with a lesbian trio at the bus stop on the way back. Today, I feel the pain. And later it starts all over again with the Juergen Teller view, party, bouze, taxi, coma. I am an elegant Sisyphus.

I stayed in.

I will be able to answer this on Saturday morning.

I was at a class. It was fun. Why has ILE got such big writing today? Is it only the computers here?

― james, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No idea, I think it's your machine. WHERE IS EVERYBODY?!? Maybe I should go back to bed and wait for the Americans to wake up.

― suzy, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I started the 'random vandalism' thread, tee hee.

― DG, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

go to the bath's on englefield road for soup, they'll eb there by the time you get back.

― Ed, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I stayed in and listened to "Astounded" by Bran Van 3000 at rediculously high volume, thoguh I don't really know what happenned the rest of the evening. Don't worry Suzy, there's no one in this computer room or lectures either.

― Graham, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I was in the office until 10. (feeling) Sorry (for myself).

We went to see the genius that is St Thomas at the Spitz. Norwegian balladry that will hopefully sweep a nation near you very soon now that he's signed to City Slang.

Earlier we said cheerio to our pal Sue who is off to Bristol. She's an Actionette, you know.

Before that we had pitchers of two-for-one Red Stripe in Break for the Border... cheap and cheerful.

Overall result: an excellent night out without a trace of Halloween. Coolio.

I stayed in. I tried to make a pinata, but failed. Then I tried to hollow out a swede, but failed. Then hollowed out a pumpkin, with some success. Then attempted to conjure up a demon I encountered in a dream recently, but failed. I suspect the circle of protection was too effective, or more worryingly that the demon was actually within me and already present, therefore impossible to summon, as such. Then I did a negativity banishing ritual, just in case I'd summoned the devil. I'd hate to have to ring Starry and tell her the house was possessed by Satan and it was all my fault. Then I watched TV. My room smells of swede.

I went to a v nice drinks do at a friend's new house. I got a bit drunk, went home and woke up at 4 am in my flatmates bed. She wasn't in it. I have no recollection of getting into her bed, and I *know* I went to sleep in my own bed. What does it all mean?

I also fitted 16 cocktail sausages into my mouth for a dare. I have a BIG gob.

― Markx, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't think your negativity banishing ritual worked.

― Tom, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Corr you did all that? My. What demon was in the dream? Summoning demongs is a bad idea as Rupert Giles could have told you. My phone seems to have gorn kaput so you wouldn't have got through unless demonic powers can put JUICE in batteries eheu! We ate curry, drank beer and watched the Powerpuff Girls and hem hem A Certain Arnie Movie last night. I privately thought about how to make an instant piñata. Also I embarassed people by showing them polaroids, including myself.

And because I like to do things like that, I will be putting them online very soon. Watch this thread.

I found out I have a dislocated shoulder, so I was recuperating with a painkiller and the Buffy marathon on FX.

― Nicole, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The demon was one that I dreamed about and was very very real. I was terrified. It was always with me, and I kept trying to get away but finally it went of it's own accord, and partially revealed itself to me, and it was sort of implying that it was part of me, that I knew it all along. Like a long lost sister, or something. But evil. I have a long lost sister, but I don't think she's evil. Or perhaps she is. How would I know? I woke during the dream utterly paralysed, and felt it in my room, and tried to talk myself into waking up. Even though I was awake. I thought. I don't know. The other night I got up and answered the telephone. I think. I don't think it was actually ringing. Anyway, I'm kind of curious about who the demon is, and would like to ask it why it was in my dream.

It's not All Souls Day till tomorrow.

― Nick, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's all HALLOWS day today, hence hallow(s)e(v)en(ing). Hallows = Saints != Souls for the purposes of the calendar.

― RickyT, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks, you two. I realised that after I hit Send. Carlos put me through the drill on Tuesday, being a former altar boy, but clearly I was feeling the effects of the party.

― suzy, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And here are the polaroids.

My halloween outfit can partially be seen in the photo of myself in mid fall off Sledge.

Sledge is my spacehopper.

― Sarah, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

HURRAH! No pictures of me!

― RickyT, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hung around at Karen's for the trick and treating, then went home and due to various circumstances myself and the housemates cleaned up the back patio and garage. It was a positive step.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ned, your garage is haunted and cursed. Trust me on this one.

― Nicole, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am waiting for co-worker to leave and then I shall scan in your PIXIE PICTURE, you shall not escape!

― Sarah, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

*bows* Fret not. The exorcisms have begun. It involved among other things discovering that there was in fact a floor.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

CURSES!

― RickyT, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i went as andy, david went as valerei solonas, we got drunk and did jello shots, we had 15 people in our apartment , we listened to music loudly and ate shit and gave lots and lots of candy to the kids who came .

― anthony, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I watched West Wing and Law&Order and Drew Carey. Then I went to sleep.

― Sterling Clover, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I made a nice pork chop dinner. Didn't listen to music, didn't watch TV, just lay on the couch and moped. Actually recieved a phone call (an invitation to a party? was I dreaming?) but just let the answering maching get it.

I really don't care about the cleanliness of the joint, it radiates eeeee-vil. I felt like Bill Clinton when I was staying there.

― Nicole, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I played records at a production studio on Gansevoort St. Everyone was watching the Yankee game. I joked that I needed a monitor so that I could cue my "moves" to inportant events on the field. Ha. During Alex Gopher's "Bless the Child" remix I was asked if I had anything good "to dance to". Ha ha. I played Thriller. Two young girls dressed as Britney immediately came over and asked what it was.

Ah, but dear Ben is going to turn it into a place where DJs hang around and spin downtempo stuff during rainy winter storms. See, this will fight the evil.
