Oxygen Thief: Aftermath

Aftermath

Enough has been written about the bombings by people who were affected, so I needn't add to it. I would like to write about how weird it has been since then: I have never seen the city so empty as it was on Thursday afternoon. I didn't go out on Thursday night, but I expect it was probably the slowest day for the entertainment business since records began in 1641. The next day was definitely the quietest Friday night I have ever seen. My friends and I went to Mother Bar at 333 Old Street. This part of town is usually heaving on a Friday night, but Mother was totally empty. It was very strange. After a few drinks in neighbouring Cocomo (we got a whole bench to ourselves! At 9:30pm!) we tried Liverpool Street but nothing was happening. We probably should have guessed this from the emptiness of the Tube; there were about 20 people in the whole carriage, staring intently at each other. You could see they were thinking, "Does that dropped glove contain explosive?" After ringing round a bunch of clubs to find something, Noriko suggested Brick Lane, but nothing was happening there either; the bars were all shutting early, 93 Feet East was already shut, Vibe Bar was shutting soon. We went in out of desperation, to find it also almost empty. On a balmy summer evening the tables outside were deserted. Inside there were only about 30 people in both rooms, and nobody smiling Very strange. Posted by Oxygenik at July 11, 2005 10:46 AM
