Pizza in Circle Square, Brassic Filming in Chinatown, House Music in Ashton

 

Went to the WeRoad social (event organised by the international backpacking brand) in Manchester Friday night. Taphouse in Symphony Park played host, serving up giant margarita pizzas (that were quickly demolished by the famished guests, including myself). Nice bar, automated serving system was a bit complicated though if all you want is a soft drink. Dished out a few blog cards, promoted my own meetup groups. 

Followed a subset group to the nearby Revolution then called it a night. 

Had a stroll around town. Found a film set: the latest series of Brassic was under way on George St in Chinatown. 

 

 

Saturday night: Ran a Manchester Nightlife meetup to Ashton, in particular Nico Ditch, for Connect, a night of house music. My good friend Paul Smith was DJing with a few others. Small venue, but we packed out. Friendly faces everywhere. One attendee came out – great to introduce her to people. 

 

 

Finally got around to trying the local steakhouse, The Edge. Great food tonight. 

 

 

A busy week. Glad things are - literally and figuratively – warming up.
