Silent Disco

Written by UrbanVox 3 Comments

Last month I met with a few Twitter friends fot one of the Late Nights events at the Science museum.

Between all the attractions of the evening was one that was the most curious… and at the same time the must fun I had had in AGES… the SILENT DISCO…

It was quite interesting seeing people wearing huge headphones and dancing to no music (or different songs at the same time as it ended up being) but you can’t really know how much fun it actually us until you finally do it for yourself…

Hope you enjoy the video!!!!

TWITUP this week at the Science Museum Late nights this wednesday (28th of september) from 18:45-22:00

For more info @ me on twitter (@urbanvox) or visit the Lates website and let us know you get there! we will be using the Hashtag #silentdisco if you want to follow the fun!!!

Hope to see you there

Dos Margaritas Por favor…

Written by UrbanVox 7 Comments

Are you looking for a fun place to meet with friends? Do you like Mexican food? Are you close to The O2???

Then I might know the best place for you to be! ;)

Last week I was lucky to be invited for the opening of a new Chiquitos restaurant right by  The 02 (literally by the door…)… Now… if you read my blog for a while you will know that I wasn’t a big fan of Chiquitos ever since the Tainted Margaritas incident on Port Solent a few years back and you will also know that I wasn’t impressed AT ALL with the service of the Chiquitos in Convent  Garden… So I went to the launch of this new one more for the fun of being with a friend that I hadn’t seen since November last year and I missed very very much.

So as you will see… It was great to get there and being met with GREAT service from the moment we got to the door to the moment we stood up to go.

I also loved the decoration (the beer bottle chandeliers were FAB!) and the energy you get out of the place itself/staff. And The burritos and quesadillas and all the rest were to die for! :)

Ah… and I am happy to report that The Margaritas were Great and didn’t make me ill at all this time… Even though I had quite a few of them (ah… the shame… still not enough to make me drunk tho!!!! So Hales… no getting mad at me! ;) )

The score given to the place: 9 out of 10 (there’s always room for improvement… and the waitresses DEFINITIVELY n need to learn how to take a photo from people on the table ;) LOL!!! )

So if you are tempted to give it a go head off to the London O2 Arena and you will find it right by the doors… ;)

Enjoy!

Then last night I kinda sort of had my wishes come true…

The one where we’re giving away a fab night out

Written by UrbanVox 9 Comments

We all love to laugh, right?  Well what better than a night out at a comedy club?

Portsmouth holds a special place in our family’s hearts but even so, we’ve never managed to visit Highlight Comedy Club.  Portsmouth’s Highlight is set on the waterfront of the multi-million pound Gun Wharf Quays development and surrounded by scores of upmarket shops, including factory outlets for numerous designer brands.

Recently we were lucky enough to win a table for 11 at Highlight on Saturday 4 September.  We’re inviting you to join us.  That’s right, we’re giving away those nine extra seats to bloggers.  So that’s a two hour comedy show and a night of dancing your socks off.  And just to sweeten the deal, Tourism South East are offering one night’s stay in a city hotel for the winners.

sudden realization

Written by UrbanVox 2 Comments

I haven’t really got much time to blog right now… but there is something I need to tell – I am actally bursting to tell – before I leave for the MH Survival in… well supposed to be 10 minutes… but knowing my cousin… I’ll sit and wait…

It is something VERY important! Wanna know it????

ok…

I have come to a sudden realization that might actually mean that I am not going to be stuck into whatever is making me stuck anymore… It is just the first step in the LONG, LONG, LONG journey… but it is a step nonetheless!

I am tired to giving a f*ck! (not in the literal aspect… in the figurative and pejorative one)

Seriously… I’ve spent most of my professional life worrying about what people thinks (no… literally… I am a Marketing Guy as a Corporate Image Consultant it is my job to know what people thinks and to MAKE them think the right way… or at least was until recently… when I got stuck in time.. OK… if you don’t yet know, about 6 years ago I used to work for a Big Time MKT company in Brazil till I had a nervous breakdown that landed me in hospital for a week and made me take the decision of quitting everything and coming to the UK – which I don’t regret a bit… that is where my journey really started where I tore myself to the ground and started rebuild block by block… what I am, what I believe, what I do, what I dream today… are all lil blocks).

I am most of all grateful to my wife who is the one that over the past 3 years has been the one providing in most things for the family while I left my field to start something new (photography at the time… you can look earlier on the blog to see what I mean, first half of 2005 if I am not mistaken… don’t really have the time now to go and find the posts of that time… sorry… :( ). The truth is if she hadn’t done that I would be stuck in my no-hours-work-life and would have never taken any steps to get out of it… And to think that it all started with a way to combat her Post Natal Depression… who says that nothing good can come from bad things???? I love you sooooo very much babe! and TB (ok… don’t neet to ge jealous)

Well retaking my train of thought… I am tired (and too old) to worry about my (late???) career… And most of all to worry about what others think I should do…

I am in the rain… now it is time to GET WET!

If I am out there to make the dream come trough… Then that’s what I am doing!

I am getting CWI to work the way it was devised to be! NOT AS A CHURCH!! It was NEVER suposed to be a church… FAR from it… it was supposed to be a tool to get people together and simply make things happen… NOT A CHURCH! Religion has nothing to do with it! Learning does… Discovering does… Touching people does… Transforming minds does… Transforming lifes does… UNITING people does… Religion doesn’t!!! (If you know me you will also know that I loathe Religiosity But I am not getting into merits of that now…)

I am going to take BO form the Idleness!!

I am going to Finish that book and take the plans out of the drawer!!!

I am going to PAINT THIS BIG OLD TOWN RED!!!!!!

And the frist nows will be announced when I return from the Men’s Health Survival… well on Monday!

so stay tunned!! (Sorry VeryBadCat!! lol)

Meanwhile I’ll be updating from the event whenever possible… so keep an eye on my twitterings and well… Whenever I have time I’ll use the WordPress App. On the IPhone (yeeesss I LOVE the IBeast, and you will hear about it for quite a while… hehehehe 2 years wait!! gotta juice it for all that is worth!! ;) )

Have a great weekend!!

zya!!!
