I'm pretty sure this is going to be the hottest band of 2010. First the UK, then Berlin, then the world.
venue Covent Garden
Monday, 07 December
Despite inciting in visitors hatred for tourists, families with more than two small children and people who stop in the middle of a crowded walkway for no reason, Covent Garden is usually a surprisingly wonderful place to visit. If you're looking for gifts, especially for people outside London, it's got just about everything between shops such as Octopus and David and Golith and the market stalls (note: mostly tat and AVOID during peak times). You're also well situated for the London Transport Museum, good food and fantastic people watching.
What's most enjoyable about Covent Garden are the buskers who are always top notch (and during the holiday season you never know what famous names might show up). Keep an eye and ear out for the busker who often occupies the south-west corner of the plaza and sounds exactly like James Taylor. Brilliant.

event Regina Spektor

How disappointing this gig is sold out, I've heard she's absolutely amazing live. What a voice.
event I Heart Spoonfed
Thursday, 03 September
Woo hoo, a Spoonfed party! It's going to be an amazing night and we're really looking forward to meeting everyone. Make sure you come say hi!
event We Need to Talk Bonnets
Thursday, 27 August
Could there be a comedy event more up my alley? This looks so brilliant.
venue The Stags Head
Thursday, 13 August
Possibly the new Spoonfed team hangout? Its massive garden is definitely the place to be during nice weather and it provides easy access to the great East London art, gigs and events nearby. We've all become big Stags Head fans, even if their titular punctuation is questionable. If you see any of us Spooners while in the Stags Head, come say hi!
venue Southwark Cathedral
Thursday, 13 August
There isn't a ton to say about the Southwark Cathedral but it's worth a walk through if you happen to be in the area. They've recently done some renovations and left a viewing platform that looks down through the foundations to a Roman road over 1000 years old that runs below.
event Seagull Project
Tuesday, 14 July
The Factory's Seagull is an absolutely brilliant bit of theatre here - I attended one of their previous nights and I highly recommend going to this show if you have the chance. You can read my full review of the show here: http://www.spoonfed.co.uk/spooners/meg-2456/the-factory-theatre-presents-the-seagull-at-the-pleasance-theatre-1120/
A working knowledge of Checkov isn't required but if you haven't read or seen the Seagull before, you'd benefit from taking a quick look at the Wikipedia summary of the play.

event The Hothouse Revue Presents Voodoo Hoodoo
Tuesday, 07 July
Unfortunately it was a bit of a dud crowd this time around, unlike the brilliant event they'd held back in April. Hope to give the Hothouse Revue crew another chance with one of their upcoming nights.
venue The Last Days Of Decadence
Monday, 22 June
This venue seems absolutely brilliant but suffered the misfortune of hosting a near-empty event when I visited last weekend. On the ground floor only two or three of the bar's tables were full and downstairs a few bystanders waited optimistically for more party-goers to show up. The problem with this venue when it is empty is that it is painfully empty. Dividers between the small rooms don't make you feel as if you're alone in a smaller space, they make you feel like you're alone in a maze. I love the glamour and vibe of Last Days of Decadence so I'm looking forward to having another chance to see it but hopefully next time I'll actually be there with a bigger group.
