The empire of Hackney

now consists of Pete Doherty's blood (not too sure about this) and other works by Armando Seijo.

You can see the Spanish painter dashing about with a carton of beer here:


I caught a man in one of his drawings staring forlornly out of the window.

Was with Em (from Sister Mary and the Choir Boys) who's another die-hard East Londoner, and we left for an indie folk gig in a pub near Hackney Central.

Was rather entranced by

the singers

(Singer Cal (from DC) making a weird face)

and
this beautiful woman

(I think her name is Polly)

and
a man who wanted to pay me 50 quid to strangle him with his bicycle chain
