Halloween at the Ikon & Naked Lunch

The Ikon Eastside warehouse party was incredible, with an electronic film score from Black Galaxy as the backdrop to 1920s b&w unedited shorts. Broadcast came on later, but were less atmospheric, humming melodic white noise to unexciting and unrelated shorts.

There were a few awesome amateur films to close the evening off and Naked Lunch turned out to be a bit of a letdown after all that. Same old kids that would have been at Snobs otherwise, with the same old excuses to get drunk and wear as few clothes as possible.

We got some great looks on the train, and for as long as we kept the gas masks on people were constantly gasping and either telling us we looked sick, or telling us that we were actually sick.

Welcome to Birmingham.
