Good Grief, I'm in the Guide



And now for some trumpet-blowing of the self-serving variety. Parp. That's Not My Age is featured in this week's Guardian Guide. This little piece of internet news plus a large cup of coffee meant I spent most of yesterday in a state of giddy excitement - followed by an evening celebrating with the Blog Widower on top of a multi-storey car park in Peckham. We know how to live it up. Actually, Frank's Café and Campari Bar is much more glamorous than it sounds. The pop-up venue has a strong New York-y feel, amazing views over London and a gaggle of young hipsters in difficult clothing. The boy in the unfortunate, zig-zag patterned acrylic jumper and acid-washed jeans, I'm talking about you.






And the best thing about this week's Guardian Guide? The coverlines:



That's Not My Age: angrier, deadlier, sexier. Read all about it here.

Wow, that's very impressive! Did they contact you about it, or was it all a big surprise? Congrats, and your blog is great. I've even promoted it to my blogroll instead of just following, not as impressive as being in the Guardian of course, but still. Every little helps :-)
