Ok so we thought snuggles name Gimme shelter was a winner for the Mentalists Xmas charity gig. Lady Vespa has secured the Purple Turtle in Camden for the Friday the 15th of December.
So we have the name and the venue Snuggles you kindly offered to do up some invitations or flyers are you still keen? It would be legendary if you are.
A couple of you out there also mentioned donating prints to be auctioned off which is a damn fine idea, is anyone able to or can contact people you know that would be up for doing so?
Also someone, sorry I forget who now mentioned designing some cards to then be sold on to companies for there Xmas cards with the money going to charity...are you still keen to try and do this? I think it’s a wicked idea and will help you out if you want to do this if you need it that is...
Anyone else got good ideas on generating a bit of extra cash for this cause...
Cheers hope you’re having damn fine days wherever you are out there!

hey mate, I'm down...
Let's take the high-level details to teh email.
I think the cards are a dope idea, but think maybe if Blanka can hook us up with some prints/posters to auction/raffle, or maybe Build himself would have some limited edition action to donate, that would be a bit more substantial/valuable?
I'll write and format a proposal based on previous ones I've done, then maybe para can fine-tune the txt...
We'll see if we can get some stuff from Blanka and then we can think about an additional sponsor for booze or sumthin like...

Hi kidswift,
I'm up for helping in some way.
Apart from being an awesome guitarist (not sure if that is useful).
I work in a central london design studio (nr tottenham court rd) and have access to 2 A0 plotters (printers) so I could print off some large format posters or banners for free if needed. Probably not too many (ie not more than about 10) If that's of any use. I'll also do some design if needed since that's my job!

If it's on the 15th, looks like I'll need shelter myself. I don't wanna put para out for 12 days... I suppose I don't actually need to be there though, I can remotely imagine the childrens smiling faces...

Your all fuckin Legends!!!! Yup down with taking it to email just needed to see if any other peeps out there had some more ideas!

theres always a damn comfy couch in Angel if you ever need it mr snuggles, maybe not for 12 days though as my girl would lynch me... but the offers there!

I thought it was gonna be called the burning tramp festival snuggles?
I don't know if there's some way to take donations online from those who can't make the gig.
What charity is this for?
- mr_snuggles0
apparently burning tramp was vetoed...

thanks kidswift, if would just be for a night or 2, I can always stay with Kuz too I imagine... I just can't afford to reach on the 15th then come back on the 23rd....
* blows kiss to Kuz, wherever he may be...

I suppose I can knock up and host a quick website if someone knocks up a logo.
Maybe a blog type thing to allow Vespa/whoever to post updates and just use a central place to send people for info/directions etc..

hold the phone... I didn't hear the burning tramp submission... who in there right mind wouldn't donate to that!

I think, snuggles, considering the spirit of the event, that you and I should aquire a few sturdy cardboard boxes and sleep outside the venue. It'll be a gas.
I may be in blighty again by then folks, and will attempt to attend, depending on the usual raft of variables.
well done to you guys, btw, for turning an excitable thread into an actual event. brilliant stuff, I'm mighty impressed :)

hey guys. This sounds awesome and infectious.
Refuge is a great charity, can't think of anything I'd rather give to.
I would love to be involved in anyway I can - I'll drum up support through the channels i know.
Would love to be more actively involved on the night too, though. How about i work the door????? Meet and greet, and stamp people's hands!
Also snuggles - you're more than welcome to stay at my pad. Send me an email telling me when you wanna be needing it, and i'll put you up.
