boo on living a relatively expensive train ride away so no prelim meeting for me, probably.

however, if we're definitely set on the bubbles then i can make sure we get some party bubbles.
I got around 70 last time which meant buying out more or less the entire supply of the only place in Cambridge I know of where they're available. I fly back to Cambridge tomorrow night so I can check bubble availability Wed or Thurs and recent Uni work constraints keeping me at home instead of out partying mean that I don't (or rather my bank account doesn't) mind getting them and dragging them to London. I was going to aim for 100 this time (unless someone thinks that's too little/insanely too many - feedback would be appreciated before I enlist the help of ebay to satisfy bubble demand).

Ideally, I'd LOVE to have the time to decorate proper paper sleeves for them, but as things are going we might have to go with sticky labels that have pretty messages on them. I suppose if I'm sticking labels on, the "no bubbles during the performance" could hopefully be communicated that way so it would be less of a matter of distributing them outside which in turn could mean that more might be in order (I'm ALSO pretty sure I remember the Electric Ballroom as being smaller than it actually is...yeeek).

I've sort of lost my train of thought because I haven't slept in something stupid like 41 hours, so I'm going to go pack my suitcase now and return to this when I am more coherent.

I think my memories are suffering from "I'm in the 3rd row or so and I can't take my eyes off the front and therefore totally fail to notice all the people filling in behind me" symptoms.

Once again, there was more I wanted to say but my brain is not quite yet rested.
Ah yes.

If we actually wanted bubble machines by the entrance someone else would have to take charge re. organizing that because I can only carry so much bubble-related paraphernalia at once.

An idea that would be fun but totally impractical/impossible, and would probably breach X number of health & safety rules would be to have a bunch of spacehoppers in the venue for people to jump around on while the venue is being filled. Except there would probably be injuries,and it would probably eventually get really annoying.

Also... you know how you can get those toys that you put in water and they expand to n times their original size? I'm pretty sure fish versions must exist somewhere. They could be cute giveaways if themed around Trout Heart Replica (i.e. grow your own heart / nurture it / whatever). Unless that's too obscure/growing fish prove impossible to find.

I'm going to keep brainstorming as I finish packing. yay.
