Watched the commentary track on the Trainspotting Blu-Ray. Interesting chat from director, producer, screenwriter and cast. Every time I’ve watched this film I’ve picked up on some new detail. Also watched Apocaypse Now Redux, featuring 'Nam, marijuana, acid and a dwindling numer of still-living cast members.
Made the most of Bank Holiday Sunday last night on a Northern Quarter bar crawl with Manchester Nightlife group (polishing off a sample bottle of Glenfiddich 12-year-old on the way). 15 people were on the list; most of them showed up. Good group of friendly people from all over the world. Everyone gelled. Started in Flok, found Wilson’s Social on the corner of Stevenson’s Square and Oldham St, took them to porn-boudoir funk club Behind Closed Doors – a real eye-opener for most – and ended in Zaytoni takeaway.
Thursday night: GetSocial Meetup group hold a games night in Point Blank, Deansgate's virtual shooting range. I've been meaning to try it out for years. Tickets are selling fast. 6pm start!
That side of Manchester tends to attract a solid number of attendees on Meetup… So I’m going to Northern Quarter again on Friday.
New bar Voyeur opened a few months ago, offering what it describes as ‘post-punk provisions.’ Your guess is as good as mine on that, but Manchester Nightlife be in nearby Rewind from 9pm before we try out the new place.
Saturday night: Tyson Fury fights Arslanbek Makhmudov live on Netflix. I’m staying in. Main fight ring walk is estimated to be 11pm.
