Apologies for the lateness of this entry. Went for a few beers to meet up with some old colleagues and to celebrate a current colleague's birthday. Started in the Dev Cat - somewhere I've not been for absolutely ages. It hasn't changed, still rammed on a Friday night!

It's so busy that I decide to double up when at the bar, and order two pints for myself - a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Beers, or RAIB. At least, well, that'd work if the concept of 'inexpensive beer' was valid in the Cat - it's >£3 a pint. Everything goes downhill from there, following an initial few pints up with cocktails in The Old House and Muse, and then everything's all wobbly from midnight on.

Adam gets us into some student party night at the former National Centre for Popular Music building. It was meant to be students only, but Adam's contacts get us all in as +1's for free.

Inside, I felt old. Very, very, very old. There are three different rooms, all purporting to be different musical experiences - I can't remember too much of it, but I'm sure that the music was pretty samey in each one - 80's and 90's party music. Bad lager and 100's of kids, I have no idea why we ended up there! We didn't stop long and got a taxi home with Lee and Stu.
