Anna and I have rather sore heads this morning after Cutty Cargo last night. We rocked up to the impressive sight of this cargo crate sitting in the middle of the street, the smell of Meat Liquor burgers filling the air and the sight of a lot of bearded men drinking whiskey. We knew we were in for a treat.
We wandered around the crate for a bit musing the art work. The moving stills were cool if a little creepy (prof green staring out a camera anyone?). We were soon distracted by Jessie Ware who started playing as our hunger kicked in. We stayed for her first two tunes and did a little hand waving before realising that she was the perfect decoy to get us fed fast.
We made our way outside and loitered with pretty plain intent right by the Meat Liquor service point so we could nab a couple of burgers and fries as they came out. They were everything we had been hoping for and we could still hear Ms. Ware from outside - think of it as our version of Flo's Glyndebourne picnic but in a disused car park with brown paper bags of greasy chips. This is how we do...
Piping hot meaty, cheesy goodness in a bun.
After eating, we headed back inside to mingle where we met the lovely boys from Informed London and played around with their iphone fisheye lens on our camera. At the time we thought these photos were 'uh sooome'. In the cold light of day, they're just pretty funny and capture the evening well.
Whisky fuelled nights are the best for meeting a random mix of people and running around causing chaos. I am thankful that I stuck to Cutty and Soda all night long (it's delicious) rather than going in for the Cutty and real ale combination that the many bearded boys were drinking. Yeesh!!
The only time I deviated from my sensible *ahem* drink of choice was when we had whiskey sours in in the Burlesque room, which were made by 69 Colebrooke Row, which you have to go to if you haven't been. I can't show you how beautifully golden and foamy they were because I felt that too naughty getting my camera out in there so I just took a sneaky little one of the mixologist enjoying the show... Suffice to say nearly everything came off apart from a sequinned fig leaf and nipple tassles. What a treat.
