Pre-Festival Dinner

Post by Jimmy Bastard » Tue Jul 17, 2007 3:19 pm

August is all but upon us, the insanity has already arrived.
No-one seems to know the UK release date of Trapped In The Closet 13-22 or for that matter Chinese Democracy.
We have an opening test-run party to work for and our space has just doubled.
It's likely vital we all need to be informed.
We need to eat, bond and take ruthless action.
Anyone who proposes working at The Forest over August is invited to gather round a table this Thursday night.
The venue, my flat
5 Roseneath Terrace
Buzzer 7
Marchmont.
Phone: 07981814281
It would be nice if you could bring a dish along
and as ever bring a fucking bottle.

I think something else was proposed for Thursday eve already? Small meeting? I'm not free till later that eve.

However, I think it would be an AMAZING idea. We need to have more casual things we do together that aren't meetings in the freezing dark office.

Go!

Firmly into my third bottle of wine I thought this the greatest idea we ever struck upon.
On sober analysis I convinced of its genius.
Theme parties are rather tired but a thosand and one in one night,
quantity has a quality all of its own as Stalin once said
So we buy up a wapload of those white theatre masks,
which would be of extreme cool to just leave blank and have everyone look exactly the same,
but more fun I think would be to have a series of workshops and decorate each mask matched to one of the themes.
Label it on the inside.
Distribute them on the night to randoms.
if they get bored they are free to swap with one another.
So from here on out all we need is another 768 themes,
then we need to print them out out on one catchy bastard poster.
To do
- can anyone find a place that sells masks at wholesale bulk prices?
- more themes please, tag them onto this thread
- plus additional ideas
Let's push things forward.

Any further mask-related features?

I just wanted to say that although (for reasons not immediately clear to me now) I was quite insistent on 1001 themes at dinner, it wasn't exactly consensus and we can stop at 1000 themes if y'all want that.

We need to get on these masks. There is a party shop on West Nicholson that we should ask, as well as a cake decorating/party store on South Clerk Street. We want blank masks in bulk. If someone could do it before tomorrow, that would be great. Otherwise, I will go ask sometime tomorrow daytime.

What other cool free shit do we want to give away? Need to get on this.

We also need posters. Who wants that job? There are poster guys who will put them up for us, but we should have them done by Monday if that is going to happen.

I'll check out these shops today. I just suggested that we make some of these masks tomorrow night as the 'volunteer party'. Have to get some poster paint and brushes, if we don't have any materials already.

I can work on a poster at the weekend, if we get the details sorted, so I know what to put on the poster.

I'm typing up the themes for the poster, got 265 so far and just making up ones as I go along.

Gonna start a new post about this with appropriate title.

It's gonna take AGES, write any down at all you can think of.

Maybe put this in the cafe? Or anywhere?
