Right, so some voting (for dates), and some venue checking has been done, and Me n NappiesGalore have made executive organising planning decisions (based on us having little time and few options )

Saturday 22nd November

Dust Bar (website here)

Nearest Tube Station - Farringdon

It will be canapes, so if you want more food, eat beforehand.

The canapes are being chosen for us - they will be clearly labelled as meat, fish, veg and will allergy advice.

The music we can bring a dj, ipod with playlist set up or have music piped up (music is a very varied mix so should suit everyone). We can use any/all of those options.

Music is quieter at bar end, plus we will have volume control.

They have some fabulous sounding shots

Price will be £20 per head max. I will phone tomorrow to find out when they need final numbers for food etc, and when we have a more accurate numbers list, I can work out the right cost - it WILL NOT be more than £20. If we end up paying more than is needed, then obviously I will buy a new dress divide it up and refund people OR put it behind the bar - whatever you think is best.

How's it all sound?

Please sign up FOR THIS DATE AND VENUE here:

now that you mention cameras HRHSaintMamazon, shall we have an mn designated photographer?

will we need name tags?

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 11/10/2008 14:29

I'm making a nametag, a fabulous one!

A thought re the music, can you ask them if they can play cd's, or ideally a data disk (which could fit hundreds of songs on it)

That way I could make a whole load of them with different themes, and we can choose between us.

Purlease let me do it, I love this kind of thing, takes me back to making mixtapes for friends on a two cassette radio.

Flamesparrow · 11/10/2008 16:41

I think they might have one of those pluggy inny things for an ipod which might make things complicated....

I will ask.

Even though I'm now nearer to London than ever - I still can't come. Need to spend the money on Chrimbo pressies and there's none left to spare this year.

£20 a head for just canapés though!

Have a great night though!

Flamesparrow · 11/10/2008 16:57

That is an overestimate I am 95% sure - It was that when we had to pay for hiring the room too. There will be an overspend that I will either have to refund or put behind bar (as people want), but things are still all over the place with the new venue so it makes more sense to overpay than under atm.

for not coming though

Rhubarb · 11/10/2008 17:00

I had 3 "though"s in that post. I really should try and expand my vocabulary somewhat!

BecauseImAWitch · 11/10/2008 17:11

I don't have to re confirm with you do I, as I've already paid?!

Flamesparrow · 11/10/2008 17:12

Can never say though enough though

BIWI - nope, paid people are fiiiiiiiiiine

SaTanicGore · 13/10/2008 10:45

No problem Piffle.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 13/10/2008 16:04

I'm really not sure about this now, so maybe get someone else to sort the music out.

I'm happy to make and post cd's if you can use them.

I've just opened my inbox to some nasty emails from three different addresses so am feeling a bit antsy.

SheikYerbouti · 13/10/2008 16:06

TDWP - nasty e-mails?

Please come to the meet

MN is shit atm.

FlameCod · 13/10/2008 16:08

Oh TDWP - please come

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 13/10/2008 16:08

When it rains it ours eh?

I'm wondering if it's one or two people behind the whole thing.

One poster was openly laughing and bitching about me earlier before it was pulled, but mnhq won't divulge.

I spose I'm only a taxi away from home so not much to lose.

SheikYerbouti · 13/10/2008 16:11

TDWP

how fucking shit!

Come to the meet - if you get any trouble, I'll sort 'em.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 13/10/2008 16:14

I've already got a badge just like stg's on the montage and all.

I'll mull it over, if I pay anyway can it be refunded.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 13/10/2008 16:15

actually scrap that if it comes to me backing out, what's a few drinks for people that have been good friends.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 13/10/2008 16:20

Floccinaucinihilipilification

Is what happened to me

AtheneNoctua · 13/10/2008 16:27

Excuse me. I have no idea what has happened. Work has been cutting into my MN time -- the nerve! But, please come. Even I am a nice person at a meet-up. Really!

Besides, I've always wanted to dance with the devil. (I hope my vicar is not reading this )

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 13/10/2008 16:33

Connie fucking descending is giving me shit now. Who are these people?

SaTanicGore · 13/10/2008 16:33

Oh please, don't drag it onto this thread

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 13/10/2008 16:38

Sorry, it's irrelevant.

The meetup will be fab I'm sure.

but we need to make sure we are not all wearing purple tights, we don't want to look like a cult of some sort.
