Last night I went out on a scouting mission, my aim – to find out what consitituted a rock club for our new home.
Wanting to push my luck I donned my kilt, slipped on a good Cyberdog T-shirt, my flashy belt and my long coat. Kai approved of the outfit. Shortly after my ride turned up, our friend T had offered to be my Gurkha guide for the evening – along with her bf coming up for the weekend from London. So, a cup of tea and a short chat later and we were on our way….to her house. We had to wait for the bf to arrive first. The wait was not a long one and we had some red wine and conversation to help pass the time. When he did arrive T. went and got into her ‘hiking’ gear and I sat and chatted with the bloke. I was impressed, he reminds me of Red Phil of Edinburgh, but with a longer beard! Overall a very nice bloke. Oh and he’s not the messiah!
Anyway, I digress, we all piled into the man’s car and set off to the fabled Shangri-la, also known as the 2 Pigs…
We arrived just after 10pm, I think. I was introduced to a few people very friendly people, all good, but that was after I got stopped by the club’s doorman…..
Dm: ‘You a true Scotsman?’
Me: ‘Aye. Any problem with that?’
Dm: ‘Ah’m no trying to be funny, and I don’t want a look to prove it.’
Me: ‘Thats ok with me.’
DM: ‘Where you from?’
Me: ‘Edinburgh’
Dm: ‘Oh god, I’m from Glenrothes…’
He let me in after that… I can’t seem to escape them, even down here.
And yes, I normally do wander around as a true Scotsman when I wear my kilt. Well, Kai’s never complained 
Anyway, the club, yes, drinks were ok, pretty standard stuff, people were friendly, all good there. Layout, reminded me a little of Opium in Edinburgh, (upstairs and a downstairs), though dancefloors on both. Downstairs was more the metal, stuff like NIN and Marilyn Manson. Upstairs (and annoyingly, I didn’t make it up there) was the Goth/EBM/Industrial floor. I had a good time out overal, and I’d recommend it for other visitors if they are down when it’s on. T’s bf gave me a lift home after the night out. Kai was already in bed by the time I staggered in.
