Remembering more now
Apologies to anybody who saw me and my friend during my second year of uni.

At one point, when Bristol's very own Thekla nightclub was refurbished, they didn't moor it properly, meaning that during the evening it slowly tilted to one side, making the whole place a bit like an Escher painting.(Did I mention the Thekla is a boat, and amazing).

It was during this evening my friend and I could be seen wearing captain hats screaming about abandoning ship and giggling like mentalists, due to the fact we had just acquired some mushroom jam off a friendly hippy, and were off our shit. Neither was quite sure if the boat was tilting, or if we managed to get some fucked up shrooms, but it was amazing....

Ahhh....
The Kla.... Yes, I remember thinking "I'm sure I haven't had that much to drink, and yet, here I am swaying a little too much..."

The Thekla always slowly tilts to one side
It did ten years ago when the DJ would try to get everyone to dance on the port side. It did last saturday when the dj didn't.


No, I haven't found anything better to do than drink on a boat in the last decade.

Used to be good
But now it seems to be done up and hosting loads of shit indie nights since it changed hands.

Went there a few weeks ago for the first time in years and it was pretty rubbish. Finley Quaye was good but the atmosphere was lacking somewhat.

Oh, and I'm old enough to remember it being the Old Profanity Showboat, although the best nights were definitely the early Wild Bunch ones :D
