Who's up for some Deansgate bars?

Spinningfields trip went well on Friday with Manchester Nightlife: met new people, heard good music, did Oast House, BLVD was closed for a private party, went to Menagerie then went back to Oast for more outdoor drinks. 

Group is growing steadily. 

Saturday night: Hype Drive’s Robot City night took over Chute bar in Ashton for a night of house music. Good gang of people.

 

Next night from the brand should be in a month or so. 

Also, Haley Spades liked my Insta comment on her backup page. Her main got nuked. 

What about this weekend? 

Friday: WeMeet 20s-40s have a Meetup running in Deansgate’s sports bar Box. It’s chav central usually, but Meetup doesn’t attract that kind of clientele so it might be a bit of an eclectic night. The Meetup is upstairs, so at least there’ll be some separation. There are, at present, 90 people signed up. I might check it out. To be honest, an event like this – a big meetup in a middle-of-the-road bar – isn’t usually that conducive for finding people with whom you have much in common. I’ll report back on whether this is any different. 

Should I choose to go. 

Saturday: Meetup group Manchester Nightlife are out on Deansgate again trying out a few bars we haven’t yet visited. Join us in Slug and Lettuce at 9! 

Sunday: The Paralympic closing ceremony airs 7-10pm on Channel 4. By the end of it, I’d like to have beaten another PB on chin-ups. It’s not looking likely, though. I’ve been working on this since the start of the Olympics and progress has been slow.
