London Leibovitz
January 19, 2009

London Art Fair 2009, Annie Leibovitz at the National Portrait Gallery, Gordon's Wine Bar, Tacuba and Pom's back to Thailand Party are a few of the things that have kept me from my To Do list in the past week. Admittedly I did have yesterday, but I didn't get up until 5.00 and couldn't do much more than order a curry.

Rob & Nick Carter @ London Art Fair 2009

Crowds were a bit thin on the ground at the Art Fair but I saw stuff that had sold. Whether or not it was at the price expected I don't know and there were a lot of pieces I've seen in previous years on the same stands, hung in the same place!

Plenty of crowds at Annie Leibovitz though. Too many in fact. And the Taylor Wessing Photographic Prize. Not sure about that winner though. After that we felt we [myself, Sam, Cathy and Maggi] deserved lunch and popped down to Gordon's where we joined by Paul and sunk 5 bottles of wine before we had to dash off to Pom's party, which we didn't leave until 11 hours later and consequently I remember very little of. There was quite a lot of rain. I remember that much.

Gordon's Wine Bar was great. I've passed it hundreds of times and never been in. It's been there since 1890 and must look pretty much the same as when it opened. It's far bigger than you'd expect when you get down to the cellars, but watch your head if you're tall!

Tacuba was Friday night. Happy hour from 5.30 - 7.00 [I think] although we did manage to spend £60 between two of us in three hours. That did include three plates of various snacks. Not big portions but tasty. Good DJ too but we had to leave before we got to cosy and spent any more.

So what should I be up to? Well that Wacom tablet still won't install despite my efforts. Going to resort to trying to boot the PC from Linux on a USB key and see if that works. Not tonight though, still knackered and we skived off yoga. Tsk tsk. Other than that, remember The Milk is getting me things done. Looks like Google might make up my mind for me with my Evernote v Google Notebook indecision by discontinuing it. Or at least not developing it further.
