South Arcade @ Manning Bar, 23rd Aug

“You get the impression that South Arcade could make friends in an empty room, let alone one as insanely packed as this one.

It very much makes you wish Mao himself had gone punk instead of totally batshit – there’d have been a lot more dancing and fun, and maybe lots less starvation […]
