Fear my organisational skills!

[miss_squiddy]

Yesterday morning the sum total of my weeks of effort to organise a christmas concert amounted to:
1) a venue
2) one member of the clergy.

This afternoon I have managed to magically produce seating, staging, readers, a team of stewards and first aiders, free christmas trees - and full insurance cover and risk assessments. I've managed to convince the council not to charge us for a public entertainment licence AND I've just managed to book Meriel Andrew to come and sing 'O Mio Babbino Caro'. (How brilliant is that?)

*phew*

Tomorrow I shall be producing publicity material and an order of service and searching for a PA system and some musicians.^[1]

[1] This is an incredibly subtle hint. (I can offer financial compensation to anyone who might be able to lend services or equipment for 14th Dec... sorcha? xxxrated? bias?)

Strangely enough, I'm going to be in your neck of the woods on that day. I don't think I've got any of the equipment you'd need though... ;-)

(unless by some stretch of the imagination you're after my *hehem* musical abilities...)

[miss_squiddy]

Eeek! Just sent you an e-mail about that... I do need some musicians and I was wondering if yourself, Lucy and Louis might be available to provide aome accompaniment. If you knew 'O Mio Babbino Caro' that would be great, but I also need people to accompany two hymns and do an instrumental...

If you reckon you guys would be free, could you drop me a line? It's 2-3pm on the 14th at Maesteg. (I have to see a man about a brass band first, but I'm not entirley convinced that they will be able to come along.)

I have passed on info, so hopefully something might happen!

Jings!

Sounds like a helluva lot of work but looks like you're puting it together well :)

Re: Jings!

[miss_squiddy]

Thanks!
It was my idea for this event as well. Why do I do these things to myself???

Your L335 organisational skills r0xx0r, mate.

So, coming up for FNGS a week friday? Then it's off to Compulsion...

???

You're doing FNGS before Compulsion? Pass on the details and we'll see if we can make it...

[toxicpixie.livejournal.com]

Yep - see

Yep - see <a href="http://www.fngs.org/" here</a> for details (if Ronan Love has updated it yet..).

It's the last one before CashMash Fest & there's maybe a theme, definately a booze competition & even me DJing!

I did mean equipment wise, but it would be pretty funny to have you guys up on the stage with your lovely theramin while the vicar tried to say his piece...

(And even funnier to see Al hurling himself off the stage onto the old ladies in the front row...)

I'm hoping I can get a PA from Sony Pencoed, but they don't like answering the phones there and I can't get hold of them...

[miss_squiddy]

I'll give you a shout tomorrow if I'm still stuck for equipment then. Fankoo!

[toxicpixie.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'd love to get you're hands on Deans equipment, and this talk of a concert is just a cover....

;)

[miss_squiddy]

Oi!

[toxicpixie.livejournal.com]

Yes?

Do you deny the veracity of the information above, vouchsafed to me by a trusted and respected source, and not merely made up due to some overheated imagination and innuendo?

Or are you saying that the xxxrated doesnt float your boat.. tsk, the fickleness of youth..

Nathan, The Toxic Pixie

[miss_squiddy]

Delusions of grandeur??? But I AM fabulous...

Vive!

As a doctor, I prescribe bed rest, tended to by dexterous nurses and skilled medical professionals such as myself ;)

Nathan, The Toxic Pixie

[toxicpixie.livejournal.com]

BTW I prescribe that for Laura, not you.. you're a big boy now and a trained doctor of luurve, so you can take care of yourself ;)

Or give Jamie a call, ask for Big Phil's number...

[miss_squiddy]

I haven't got Jamie's number any more :[

Who's Big Phil anyhow???

[myrddrr.livejournal.com]

A bloke who hires out PA, and he's based by the WNO.

[miss_squiddy]

Figures. Would be a useful person to speak to... Don't suppose you could mail Jamie's number to me could you?

On the subject of Compulsion...

I wasn't sure if you were aware of our house warming party which will be occuring on the 12th, 13th and 14th of December. It will of course kick start with a merry journey to Compulsion, and then back to ours for general stupidity, beer and other such like. You are of course invited (as is the rest of the world - or at least every single person I can think of) so come....come for the beery goodness, and the possibility of actually having a really good time. And Only a bus ride from the train station. Tell me you'll come...PLEASE!!

Re: On the subject of Compulsion...

[miss_squiddy]

Yay! Party! I have to be back in Cardiff on Saturday evening, but I could come along after Comuplsion if stuff is happening then.

Re: On the subject of Compulsion...

[uv-lue.livejournal.com]

Aftershow at ours really. As I have said to Gary. Bring beer, bring fun, you can bring drugs if you like, but I doubt you'd want to, so the other two will be good.

I was thinking about extending an idea we had about buying silly board games and taking them to Slimes to play at 7 in the morning.. shit like connect 4 and buckaroo. I think it's a great idea, and I want silly games on obscene amounts of drugs at my housewarming. Now that will be fun. It would be even funnier if Dave manages to get us any mescaline. Picture the scene...

"Well I think put the little yellow disk in the blue square thing, and then it turned red and disappeared."

"No Lue, that was me winning and emptying the game to start again"

"OK, so why are there still disks in the square and why is it melting across the carpet"

and so on and so forth...

I have a horrible feeling I'm going to be elsewhere, but if you need anything specific, let me know and even if I don't have it I might be able to find someone that does. :)
