2. Candlelight Club
First, a couple of updates: we actually have covered loads of the to-do list but got too busy doing stuff (mostly inventing and promoting the now international weekly festival that is Tequila Friday) to update the blog! Expect a gentle trickle of half-remembered, half-made up anecdotes and reviews over the next however long it takes. Also it's not 2014 anymore but let's face it, that's not important. What's important is more wifey fun times and tequila.
So the Candlelight Club: it's a 1920s themed monthly event with a secret central London location, lit entirely by candlelight. Anett and Lotti had been once before and actually the secret venue was the same both times (can't remember where) so it came recommended (not sure the Candlelight Club felt the same way about Lotti) and we chose their Halloween event so we could put in a good costume effort, with Lotti on makeup duty as usual.
We dressed as three ex-wives who had been viciously murdered by one treacherous individual who we won't mention again. But he was there with us and he took some good photos so thanks for that.
Upon arrival, we popped upstairs to put our coats in the cloakroom and found that there was a tarot card reader hanging out. Lotti was keen for a reading; Anett and I were keen for a drink. After two drinks (pricey but strong and tasty), we had worked out which barman was making the strongest cocktails. After three we had run out of money! The live band were dressed in theme and worked the crowd well.
Anett was still recovering from a beach ultimate-related concussion and we were all in end of the month mode so it's fair to say that we kept this night fairly tame - there also weren't many single people there which limited our potential to mingle. We lasted until the end of the night when the lights were unceremoniously turned on and headed back to Clapham favourite the Clapham North for a little more dancing before bed.
Candlelight club list trumps!
Cost: 3/5 (good for a treat, would be better if there was one drink included with the ticket price)
Originality: 4/5
