Saturday night out in London

We started off with a comedy club. Apparently Americans are fat and stupid. But Australians will screw anything that moves and Jersey in the UK (as opposed to the 'New' version) is dirty (coincidence?). Next we go to a club and later we sit outside at a bar as I convince my new Algerian friend that true democracy in the USA can happen with Barack Obama. We decide to go home but as we walk we see a bunch of people hanging out outside an apartment. We sneak in and it turns out to be an insane illegal electronic music house party. Its a beautiful 3 story flat with DJs on rotation on the 2nd floor. We make ourselves some mixed drinks in the kitchen and hear some awesome beatboxing from Killa Kella and more dance music. Apparently this party was called Berwickstock 08. Around 4am I pick up a disco ball and start a game of passing it around the party. Eventually the ball hits the ground and explodes converting into a comfortable disco hat. Great for pictures! The party gets busted around 5 by the local Counselman so we take off - wearing the disco hat of course. We walk around London and see big Ben and the Thames River - its beautiful in the morning sans the hordes of tourists. We wait till 730 for the tube to open and head home.
