Steampunk on a Budget

Posted on June 23, 2013August 20, 2013by Chris

Also: “The Cogless Steampunk” Last weekend, after an amazing all-nighter rave called Rumpus, I heard about another all-nighter called Imaginarium – a sci-fi/fetish themed event. This one, unlike most of the others, required some sort of effort be put into your costume. At previous events, considering I’m living out of a backpack, I hadn’t bothered […]

Me after World Pillow Fight Day in London

Big surprise, huh? I can’t seem to stay away from this place. But I have an excuse! It was actually for “work” this time – Mercedes invited me to come drive a good selection of their cars, anything from the smart electric car to the monstrous 600 horsepower Mercedes SLS AMG supercar.

I’ve Been Kicked Out of the UK

Posted on July 25, 2012November 14, 2012by Chris

I really wish I had a cool story to go along with this. Maybe I should make one up. Sadly, it’s a simple case of another immigration officer being a twat. I went to Munich last week to visit a good friend. Had a great time, check out the Munich, Germany article. When I first […]

The Definitive Guide to Not Going Broke in London

Posted on July 17, 2012August 15, 2019by Chris
burning money

This city is disastrously expensive, and doesn’t help that the exchange rate is awful. As a point of reference, a regular pint of lager (something like Kronenberg or Amstel, nothing fancy) from a tap at a typical (non-touristy) bar is about £4 – that’s around $6.50.

Poznan to Berlin to London

April 19, 2012 When on the road, some days are just like this. It sucks, but you have to just suck it up and chalk it up to the experience, or whatever makes you feel better. I really liked my time in Poland – the women are gorgeous, the food is cheap, I spent time […]
