See what I done there kids??? A play on words. There will be better versions of such humour (thank Jehova) and more this Monday (today) when the Central School of Speech and Drama hold a publicity gig at The Good Ship for their big Accidental Festival taking place at the ICA. Whilst I am advertising things going on elsewhere check out www.myspace.com/isoprods who had a fundraiser at The Good Ship recently and their play "the London Plays" which has had rave reviews has a week to run, check it out. On a similar thread, if you lke curry there is no finer place in London than the glorious Geeta on Willesden Lane and for Thai, Spicy Basil on Kilburn High Road. Greasy spoon? Efes, opposite us, there you have it.
Anyway, where do I work? Yes, The Good Ship. Ok Monday is great we have covered that. Tuesday and Thursday sees some great bands and the first ten people to answer this get free entry to Thursday's gig. On Wednesday we have the amazing burlesque and rockabilly show and the weekend will be banging as usual. Have a great week one and all.
