Big surprise, huh? I can’t seem to stay away from this place.<\/p>\n
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<\/a>. So really, was I about to pass that up? I don’t think so.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n That’s the car I drove. Here’s me acting a fool in it:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Aside from being generally terrified to be driving a $260,000 right-hand-drive car on the wrong side of the road, I had a blast.<\/p>\n But of course I didn’t go JUST for the cars. I like London, and I really<\/em> like Mary, and I like the music and events. In fact, I discovered a new artist by accident while walking around Camden one night – Celt Islam. If you like electronic music, check out the Celt Islam Soundcloud page<\/a>. Amazing stuff, especially live.<\/p>\n So, what are my plans in London? Whatevs.<\/p>\n I have a couple of shows I want to go to in a couple weeks, but I can’t afford to stay long in London unless I’m couchsurfing. And couchsurfers that can host can be tough to find in this town.<\/p>\n I also happened to come during World Pillow Fight Day, which was a pleasant surprise:<\/p>\n
