London 2 Team Canada 0...




Aight so haven’t posted in a couple weeks but that’s cause last weekend I took a rest to get better…had a bad cold and felt like garbage…but I did manage to play ball on Saturday and Sunday…guess I wasn’t that sick haha…We also won both our matches on Sunday which was a nice change of pace…tho I did get taken off cause I swore at the ref…Perdo they just don’t get our emotional style of playing over here...difference of cultures what can I say 

Anyways last week didn’t get up to much other get myself excited for the weekend that just passed… Josh Michnik is now back in the house, holla homie…this meant a weekend in London to kick things off properly! So after a meeting on Friday with some clients I made my way over to Clapham for lunch with Josh to catch up, then back to his place to finish up my work for the week before kicking things off! (Side note – went to Gourmet Burgers it’s a chain in London…EPIC…one of the best burgers I’ve had)

So we started our Friday off by heading to Vinopolis to do a wine tasting/boozing tour…we met up with Pat and our wine tasting crew and stormed the front door…k we politely asked if Sarah, Josh’s sis, could come out and get us in…free wine and booze…I love life…so our little wine posey walked around tasting wines from all over the world…had to skip the champagne tho cause once you’ve had Crystal on the Sunset strip nothing else will suffice…oh yeah we found out Josh is Dyslexic and that it is a virus and can spread…it is also responsible for anything dumb he does…so yeah after the wine we hit up the Bombay Gin bar where Sarah was slangin wicked Gin cocktails…and I’m sure as many of you would have guessed I had a dirty martini with extra olives cause it’s just how the big dogs roll…we then continued to try every cocktail Sarah had in her arsenal and made our way out quite loaded…Sarah had finished her shift and joined up with us at this point...we then made our way to one of my favorite spots…Hoxton 

We hit up a bar in Hoxton…same one as my bay then made our way to another club called Tea (it is spelt wrong on joshsdoorbell.com…sorry Josh but ima stickler for journalistic integrity)…the club was fun but slowly our crew dwindle to Josh and I ripping around talking to anyone who would listen to two Canadians (one with dyslexia)…met some nice Italians tho…however josh couldn’t understand what they were saying…cause of his dyslexia…so we rolled on out…HAHA oh yeah just remembered this part…some dude on the bus wouldn’t shut up about poverty in Africa (k that sounded really bad) but he was talking gibberish about economics and stuff he clearly had no clue about and didn’t make any sense… so me being me, along with about 8 other people on the bus, had to pipe up and correct him on what he was saying…some yelling ensued but I think he has his facts straight now haha…anyways that was pretty much the end of the night…good times

Saturday Pat, Josh and I headed to Arsenal to watch them play Blackburn…Cheers for the tix Pat ura leg…the game was pretty lame tho…0-0 and about 3 shots on goal…but what can ya do, still got to see a football game in the best stadium in England with Henry and Co on the pitch…so finished the game and went to the pub to celebrate Pats bday…so turns out drinking from 2pm till 7pm in the same pub is not always the best plan of action…leaves many quite tired….therefore after that pub we made our way to another place in Angel (dope area in London) but our crew was dropping like flies…after that bar it was just Yoel me and Josh…Yoel took us to a cool little club/lounge in angel then bounced when me and Josh wanted to hit up a club…key word there being “wanted”…now normally I am navigational Legend…unfortunately like all great navigators reading a bus sign is not part of our skill set…we ended up in Cockfosters (north London) about an hour away from where we wanted to be…or so we were told by the guy laughing at us who was sitting in front of us…he gave us a beer for being entertaining then we got off the bus crossed the street and waited for the next double decker back to where we came from…thaaaaaaaaaaat pretty much wrote off the rest of the night…two hours later we were back home..haha

Sunday was equally challenging…we got up late and headed into London for some food at a wicked restaurant that Sarah recommended, by Leicester square…well once again we got lost trying to find it…we found Soho, Covent gardens, Chinese new year, a street it turns out we had been on the night before, then eventually Abeno Too the restaurant we were trying to find the whole time…around the corner from where we started…dyslexia…it will get you every time…the food was wicked and worth the journey…made my way back to reading after eating…all in all in pretty wicked weekend…

I’m heading back into London this weekend to see Mstrkrft with Josh and Sarah…should be dope…and hopefully provide a good post…

Keep it real

CHECK THE PICS
