I’ve been ‘in London’ for almost two whole years now. Just to hurt your eyes, here’s the gigs I’ve been to, from when I moved (September 21st 2008), up until now. I couldn’t pick one photo to sum it up. You’ll just have to imagine, or look at a whole bunch on my Flickr. I’ll do an overly sentimental gushy post about all these shows and all the nice people I’ve met on the actual anniversary. Aw, chucks!
