Bored?


How much of your time do you spend bored? Erm…well I unfortunately am going to answer that with ‘a lot’. I think on average I spend 78% of my life in this state of mind, I bored right now.

So it only seems appropriate that the short-attention-span, Facebook friendly, mySpace infused generation that we are should have an evening of entertainment named after their general mental state. It works for me anyway.
Like all the best ideas it’s the creation of a couple of guys sat down the pub with nothing better to do than sit and get drunk. The difference is that these lads got off their arses and did something about it. The first night was in the nippy months of late last year and due to this I felt I had to consume my body weight in rum rather than wear a coat. This could have added to my enjoyment of the night but it is a fact I feel I should involve in this entry.

Barden’s Boudoir, I always feel is a little over priced for its sticky carpets and doorless toilet but Bored is the exception with entry being a mere £5. The first night’s line up was good enough to tap your foot to with the headline act being the ‘GingerBread Men’. (Apparently they were on some TV programme, but really their rocky/indie thing isn’t half bad.)

The blend of good DJs and mix of live music makes this mid-week event something that is actually worth getting off the sofa for.

Have you been?
Let me know what you thought?
