Kassy Returns to the Fruit Cupboard - Brought to you by Gazz Wood -
Back once again, the renegade master. Or Kassy. Who ever she is she was back in Leeds having gone back to Scousegrad towards the end of LeedsMeUp:Live From New York Street. A Leg.End’s return is something I expect we’ll see a lot of in the next year or so, but this being the first there was really only one place we could possibly go.
The Fruit Cupboard.
Scene of one of many outings back in September 2003 when we all got together, the Fruit Cupboard’s Monday theme is the 80’s. They’re running past music with this, as entry is 80p and several drinks, including Vodka and Carling. Even though Carling is like piss water we drink it because it’s cheap. Maybe I’m not the best person to comment on the music, since 80’s irritates me like only retro fads can, but M seems to like it, TheWorm and Youdy were VERY attracted to the prospect of cheap drinks and Jime and Jaquesy had nothing else to do.
Since we first went over a year ago there’s been a new generation of first years in Leeds, and they either love getting ruined on a fiver or they’re all into electro-pop, whatever the reason The Fruit Cupboard is now packed solid on a Mondays. The downside, apart from the music, is that it’s short staffed. 4 bar staff for two bars on a busy night, which means that the bottom bar, newly opened to cope with the capacity, is often without anyone to serve the usually 4 deep crowd that surrounds it. However, now that M works there, it does mean that there’s no one to force me to go, apart from Youd and TheWorm and Jime, who seem to love the place. Course I eventually end up going, coerced by both their enthusiasm and sheer despair.
The evening was OK, I left early as I often do, along with Jaquesy, Jime and Youd, but Kassy and Worm stayed. Till Kassy left. All in all the Fruit Cupboard Monday is a decent night if you wanna get dead drunk for dead cheap, which is something you are going to need to do to drown out that bloody Hanson song which isn’t 80s but is the only song the DJ doesn't talk all over.
Cynical about the Fruit Cupboard? Yeah, I don’t like it, but you might so give it a go. All you have to lose is a few quid.
