Last night was the first bbig night out in ages. In Lisbon i never feel such the urge to go out in the same way i do in England, in fact i think i have only been to one actual club here, Jamaica. Anyway last night there was a MTV festival going on in Baixa Chiado which we went to, twice. We heard that it started at 500 however, this was just the whole event and the music would not start till 900. The latter was so cool just walking through this street with loads of out side speakers the bass was incredible you could feel it being amplified through the street. The main street got so busy, it was amazing the contrast between the main street and the rest of the area. There were a lot of people on stilts, i wouldnt have fancied being in their shoes, or stilts more to the point.At one point in the evening we stopped at this Jazz bar which was really good, i absolutely loved it, it was so chilled in there a massive juxtaposition to the chaotic nature of the street. I did a shot of absinthe with a couple of others, it really burnt me inside, i probably overreacted but it was strong. I heard today that in my drunk state i pronounced Evas name perfectly which is always reasurring.


Besides least night the weekend has been proccupied with my video. I have very nearly done, and will finish it tonight and i am so looking forward to seeing the outcome and doing the editing. I was suprised at everyones willingness to be a part of my project, i dont think i would have got the same enthusiasm in England. I loved how obscure the whole concept is videoing people reading a broken english 'Poem' in the bathroom i even got someone standing on the toilet, i really abused my power. Although it seems a bit of a folly i am really pleased with the idea and it really suits the brief of being a souvenir as i really will wan to keep it forever as a momento of this period of my life.
