The Halloween festivities started out Thursday night at the BU Halloween Party in Notting Hill. Can't complain about drink vouchers, free food, and seeing a BU employee in a full on cow costume.
Actual Halloween night started out with a concert at the music venue the Barbican. Ian and I went to a unique concert that was a performance by the band Grizzly Bear and the London Symphony Orchestra. It was a really good concert because they made the orchestra blend into their songs. I was impressed and happy because I got to hear an orchestra, which is a rare event lately. Here’s the band’s site, definitely check them out:http://grizzly-bear.net/
Afterwards we morphed into Shaun of the Dead and a leopard. Met a Shaun of the Dead wannabe who gave us drinks on the tube, got a little lost, and then I went to meet up with the 4th floor crew at a club that was throwing a Halloween party. I was told I sound Scandanavian (??), got a bruise from running away from a fight, and somehow didn’t take a single picture in my costume. It was an odd night. The weirdest part though was that people in London actually dress up SCARY. Not just kind of scary with a witch hat. No, full on scary with blood and fangs and everything. I severely missed Halloween in Boston/normal places.
