#JULIASAYS – Discerning scene musings from the Princess of East London

Do you know what? I don’t think I’ll ever run out of things to do or say – there’s just so much to report on. All the time. That’s the only problem really. I keep getting distracted. I mean, there’s been all these award ceremonies including the Turner Prize, where all the artists decided to share the winnings. I liked that. Very poignant in these times. Then of course this is the silly season so there’s a heap of extra curricular activities to peruse…

Here’s one for you discerning shoppers – XTRADE 2019 at the Bistrotheque on 14th and 15th December from 12 midday ‘til 6pm on both days. It’s an art-based pop-up shopping experience created by AHMD (Anal House Meltdown), which is a club night & art collective. There’s just so much to buy, see & enjoy at this I can’t fit in all the details!   

After the serious business of actually voting, in actual clubland everything is hilarious as usual. On 12th December it’s Happy Endings: Egg Nog at Dalston Superstore.
