Weeee that was a brilliant weekend. Wendy House went well with literally just under 1000 in. The PA had serious hardware failure before we started, so we opened half an hour late, but this was sorted with lots of cable. There's few of life's problems that can't be solved by lots of cable... otherwise DJing and running the night was an absolute hoot as always.

Yesterday we all stayed in the pub for hours. I feel utterly knackered today, I ache and my internal organs are grumbling. A sign of a great weekend. At least I can sleep at work.... :-D

Good luck to my little car today. It's having a MOT and service done. I want to see your good vibes go out to it whilst it undergoes lots of undignified poking and prodding.

In other news. I have 100 glowsticks sitting on my work desk... my life is a little weird.

Joke of the day

What do you call a cow with no legs?

Ground beef.

It's the first Wendy House of 2008 on Saturday (Jan 19th), join us for another huge Dark Party.

My first bit of DJing of 2008... yayyy...

Well hello there my LJ chums...

The Christmas Wendy House went very well on Saturday. We had an amazing, packed turn out considering everything else that was going on. Using the power of my fingers and toes I can guestimate that we had just under 1000 lovely people in.

It went very smoothly too, despite a few very minor issues that should be sorted next month. Some pictures are now on the website. Thanks to everyone that's made 2007 a truly fantastic year for us, see you all on January 19th.

I wonder how much greenhouse gas was emitted by the Greenpeace campaign in encouraging 50,000 teenagers to use Habbo, in an online survey about greenhouse gasses (see bottom of article)? 50,000 PCs use a reasonable amount of electricity. I wonder how much electricity is used in viewing their 90 second gaming campaign video? I'm sure they'll use "Carbon offsetting" as a get out of jail free excuse.

My application for England manager appears to have been turned down.

Don't forget it's Wendy House on Saturday...  yayyyyyy

Ho Ho Ho... it's The Wendy House Xmas Party this Saturday (Dec 15th) at Leeds University. It starts at 9pm and is just £5 on the door.

This promises to be the biggest Alternative night Xmas party in the UK. We have an 80's heroes themed, optional fancy dress party. We have prizes and pressies to give away, free magazines to give away with CDs from the DJ booth and much darkly clad christmas cheer.

Don't forget that we have a peak DJ set from Adam from Judas Coven (ex Lab 4) in the Mutate room. 

This should be a night to remember, so we'll wish you all a Merry Xmas and see you all there... :-)

After holding out for 2 hours, my team leader has made me a coffee.

Thank you for your kind words of support.

*Hugs* 

My coffee's gone cold. If anyone's off to the kitchen can they make me another one?

I went out for Nikkyboy's birthday curry last night... yayy... my Curry was on fire... yayy!

I start my DJ Marathon tonight...

Thursday: Ice Cream Gay Alternative at the Cockpit... billed as Wendy House vs Ice Cream... hopefully not a competition of the campest... 10:30 - 2:30am. 3 quid door.

Friday: Darkside: Billed as a post Amalgamation event 11pm to at least 5am catering for the more dance side of Industrial... I'll be doing a bouncy mix of Harder Trance, Psy Trance, Industrial and splattering of Hard Dance. Its 5 quid in, cheap booze and a really lovely crowd.

I'll hopefully be popping my head in and showing my support for Amalgamation during the weekend, time permitting.

Saturday: March Violets aftershow party until 3am at Leeds Met. Gillywoo and I will be rocking the huge main room dancefloor with Goth and Alternative favourites.

Obviously come along to any of the above events and grab me/ heckle me/ snog me/ buy me beer (delete as applicable).

Happy Birthday Nikkyboy, you old fart. :-) 

I've finally got the rest of the Wendy House pics up from last month... a rather annoying technical problem has stopped me from updating the site and I've not been able to fix it, until now, due to being too busy...

 If no one wants to go to the pub how about a virtual mince pie???

I hear there's a flood warning in Scotland....

5 Million people have pissed themselves laughing....

This football thing is going to carry on all morning...

Dear FA. Having read lots of posts about the football last night, I'd like to put myself forward as manager of the England side.

I know absolutely nothing about football, probably like the last bloke. However I like the look of the salary. I'd even try harder to abuse my position than that Sven bloke. I'd even be happy for all the rude stories to appear in the Sun.

Please find my CV attached.

December 15th is The Wendy House Christmas party. At only £5.00 in at the door you have plenty left over to shove something nice into a friends stocking. :-)

We also have Judas Coven (Ex-Lab4) DJing in the Mutate room again. 

Adam needs little introduction. Having been one of the founding members of Lab 4 and having DJed all over the world, his music has been played by all the top global Hard Dance DJs. He absolutely ripped the roof off at Mutate in September... and this should be no different!! See the Judas Coven site here.

.... and don't forget the March Violets play Leeds Met on Saturday December 8th, with some Wendy House DJs playing afterwards.
