Prospective Mondays

It's a star-studded affair this week. But before I go all glitz-and-glam, lets stay grounded.

If you're free tonight and you're into your literature, try the Town Hall Tavern for the monthly Book Club meeting.

Who remembers Xzibit?!

If anyone fancies seeing hardcore gangsta rapper “X to the Z” this week, he's at Gorilla on Witworth St TOMORROW. I'm there with one mate so far. Tweet me to get involved. Tickets are still available, including a VIP meet-and-greet package, on Facebook.

Radio 1's most ridiculous hip hop DJ Tim Westwood is in the house! Or, more accurately, will be in Suede nightclub this Friday. If the last few Fridays are anything to go by, it'll be the ONLY busy place in the city. So get your tickets quickly. See the Facebook event for this. If you fancy coming with me and perhaps a few others, check out the Meetup group here.

Videogamers: on Saturday/Sunday morning you should tear your ass out of bed early (ish) for Play Expo, a hugely popular gaming exhibition ran by Replay Events. Gaming blogger and podcaster Tomleecee, Founder of prolific gaming blog The Dreamcast Junkyard (and also my mate) will be in town for this. Tickets vary from £16 to £64. They can be bought here.

Saturday night: Eivissa takes place at The Oxford Club, formerly One Central Street. If you fancy an upbeat smart night out, this is for you. Join Manchester Social Group who are venturing in.

Last Saturday The Oxford Club hosted George Lineker's (Gary's son's) birthday party.

A few pics from the club are here. Tempting, no?
