Coming from a very cold Copenhagen, I suppose the London weather seems like Summer, that's what @meanmommy33 called to the freezing temperature in UK when she arrived. Well summer or not, it's still winter in this part of the world. And looking forward to Marvin's aka @colossus39 anticipated graffiti night tour was under-rated.
Shoreditch is basically at my doorstep, and Brick Lane is my neighbourhood. Literally.
Liverpool train station seemed like the favourite meeting place for the London's @steemsugars so there's where we all met coming from all direction, especially for @redrica coming from Surrey, outside London. Shoreditch from here is at the opposite side of the road. I must admit though, that some side roads that evening, I have never passed through, even during the day.
GRAFFITI all around
First stop from Liverpool St. towards Shoreditch.
They say it's a wolf, is it?
I changed the HUE, because if i didn't, I will always think that you have a picture of Garfield whose about to poo on you both.
After a turn from Bricklane in an alley.
Waiting for the others towards the `Nomadic Community Gardens.
This wall is part of the Shoreditch railway station.
The eye of Sauron.
Just a few of the many artworks along the wall going inside the Nomadic Community Gardens.
If anyone is ever in London and want to see these graffiti in this part, am sure I can manage to take you around, although I am not knowledgeable as Marvin. We can always ask him to do it, right @colossus39 ??? You are the expert mate!
Please check his wall and ask him anything about graffiti as I can't recall about the artists he was telling us during the tour. Looking at all those artworks was enough for me. I have included in this post his link about that night.
I just wanna kick myself for missing out on all these for the past 10 years.
Moments with Steemsugars
We have brown sugars, do we have Dark ones? L-R: @redrica @bristena94 and to my left is @meanmommy33 with @teodora behind
Steemsugars is the baby of @meanmommy33 conceived from Steemfest2 in Lisbon. Was it 1 or 2 women, out of 10 in men were there? So, her idea was to bring more women to Steemit and crypto-currencies. To be fair!
I must say though that any female steemian is already in crypto-currencies, whether we understand all these stuff, it doesn't matter. All steemians are holders of SBD and/or STEEM, and these are alternative coins apart from BITCOIN, all cryptos.
After all that, we ended up at Busaba's.
Busaba's saved the night, or else, we could have ended up pulling each others' hair! I called them lionesses, their growls can be heard blocks away. Good gracious me!
Gate-crashing in David Haye's post boxing night. That's not him though!
For anyone who wants to join the amazing SUGARS, males or females, we have a discord server available to hop into. It even have a #cryptobabes room in it for those who can teach, share or perhaps learn something about cryptos. Do check @steemsugars!!!
For you Sylvia aka @osm0sis
I won't forget why you came to London Loopy.
Moments and quality time together hey? What a fun night with you all and a leaving-do for you Teo.
Trivia: What's the singular term for "graffiti?
