Breadcrumbs for the mind

in preparation for my impending trip to london (um, in october...), I've started following londonist and weirdlondon.

I figure the best way to become familiar w/ a city is to read the local blogs. It's what I suggest to folks who ask me about DC (dcist, washingtondc and dcfreaks btw)

but I may have followed too soon. now I'm seeing awesome shows and events that won't be happening when I get there. boo. booo I say!

if I'm this excited about the trip now, imagine how annoying I'll be come september. :-) so I apologize now.
