Late night drinking and early morning class; a bad combination!
Sonntag, 29.10.06
I knew before I even went out on Thursday night for Hamish’s 21st Birthday drinks that making it to the Flash lesson the next morning at 9am would be a bit difficult. We were first gathering at Eeva’s place to have cake and champagne before hitting the bar. As I didn’t have time to go back home after college, I had a Turkish pizza for dinner which consisted of a baked flatbread with tomato sauce which was then piled with salad, yoghurt and chili sauce before rolling it up like a fajita. All that goodness for a modest 2€.
After washing down the rich chocolate cake with champagne, we headed out to a Russian bar where I had a huge glass of Weissenbier. Before I knew it, it was almost 2am. Hamish and Jen went to stay at Lisa’s for the night, since their next trams were at 4am, so they should be on time for the class since Lisa lives less than a minute from college. Luckily, I was only a 10 minute ride away from home. The next morning, not surprising, was very rushed. I remember waking up when my alarm went off but the next time I saw the clock, it was 08:45. A mad rush and tiring bike ride later, I got to college at 09:20 and was waiting for the lift when I saw Hamish and Jen casually stroll in behind me.
Friday night was the Paolo Nutini gig, my first in Cologne. Raymund came along with me as no one else I knew liked his music and they were most probably busy continuing the birthday drinking. It was very enjoyable as we were standing fairly close to the front, with me singing along to most of the songs.
He sang all but one song from his album plus a few covers. I’ve been listening to the album so much since then and now I can’t wait to see James Morrison next month; his first gig in Germany. Instead of packing into the tram for the journey back, we thought it could be a nice bike ride since the weather was still good and a chance to get some night photos. It took a good 2 hours to ride the 10km back as well as apparently I was being typically Asian in getting carried away with taking endless photos when I was just trying to get a photo where I held the camera still.
