I'm
using up a bit of annual leave (still) so was free to try out the new
Club LIV, which recently moved
from Peter St to Deansgate.
It
was a fun night at Thursday Club but it's much the
same- music, crowd, décor, MC yelling over the mic etc- just larger.

here.
It was a quiet night- and I expect a quiet weekend overall, for the
club- due to Storm Dennis
charging through the Northwest. That and I gather some students are
doing their exams now.
£10
entry without guestlist felt excessive. They charge that on a
Saturday. It also didn't feel as big as Suburbia, the last outfit to
inhabit the unit. It was completely unrecognisable from its previous
occupancy- much darker décor with a lot more neon and LCD. Plenty of
women as per. I still want to see what a Friday and Saturday are
like.
I've
just finished Prey, by Michael 'Jurassic Park' Crichton. Unemployed scientist Jack Forman finds that his also-scientist wife is acting
strangely, leading him to find his old teammates have been poached
for her company. Out in the California desert, the team are
developing nanotechnology- swarms of microscopic flying robots- which
have ran amok. Can he put a lid of the situation, and figure out why
his wife is behaving weird?
It's
a fun, fast-paced SF romp set in the not-too-distant future. Good
twists, and like with Jurassic Park, well-researched, taking current
tech and pushing things one step further.
