A
couple of notable point this week. First, celeb gossip newsletter
Popbitch used my joke.
“I
told my mate joke about Eskimos, but Inuit already.”
Moving
swiftly on. I trawled Manchester looking for stories, events,
happenings... most evenings I came back with very little. Half way
through the week a meetup set for Friday night closed down- not just
the event but the whole group- due to a venue cancelling on the
organiser. I'm not sure the organiser totally understood how Meetup
works, but whatever.
Anyway,
I saw the opportunity to put up a meetup of my own,
and Manchester Cool Bars headed to
Panacea for the launch of
Story, the new Friday weekly night.
Fridays can be hit and miss in Manchester, especially when- like this
weekend- it rains. But the club brought in a good crowd.
We
started in Australasia on
Deansgate. The bar formerly had a sister venue called Grand Pacific,
but now the two units go by the same name and are connected by a
subterranean walkway. Fantastic place for drinks and funky house
music. It's also a good place to spot a celeb or two, or at least a
lookalike. One woman there would pass for Susan Sarandon, but my mate assured me
that the guy who looked like United's Mikhael Silvestre was definitely him.
We
moved on to the club early just before the queue built up. There were
more celeb lookalikes inside, including doubles of Shia LaBouf and Debbie Abrahams.
I saw the team from Socialite, the
Thursday night event in LIV, and Kendal O'Reilly, who won the Swimsuit
competition I reported on last
year.
I got a kiss on the cheek from the latter. Well, go me. It got busier
than I expected, with the rain being a factor, but inside the club
the atmosphere was much better than out. Pics from the night will be
here.
I
have more events lined up for next week. Be part of them!
