It's a new dawn , It's a new day, It's a new life for me, and I'm feeling good!
By the 5th January you should have just about managed to nurse away your new years hangover, and the top up you'll no doubt have given yourself this weekend, and you'll be ready for more Mavis.
Running with the full three rooms of the club for the last two weeks has been something else, two amazing nights over the holidays, and as a result we've decided to keep all the rooms open this week too, bonza!
So as ever this is your Tuesday night breakdown.
8pm - Quiz begins on the top floor - chance to win drinks and big cash in the bonus round.
10pm - Mavis begins! £2 entry all night, loads of drinks just £1.50. Bottom floor - METAL! Middle floor - rock, punk, emo, alt.dance, everything else that's fun to dance to.
11pm - Top floor opens! Classic Rock and all the huge rock and roll tunes from the greatest bands of the last 60 years!
3am - Go home, to your beds, or whoevers bed, just make sure you wrap up warm, it's chilly out.
Bish, bash, bosh.
See you Tuesday.

Turns out my last couple of blogs and messages haven't ended up on the internet, or even in your box. I want to blame Facebook for this, but there are strong chances that I've just been pressing the wrong buttons. Blame the technology, or blame the operator, it's up to you, but I'm going to try and make up for it now.
I've discovered a new Chinese takeaway, we were introduced by a friend last week, I'd like to say I was hesitant at first, but I wasn't, I was excited about the new possibilities, the new flavours, I'd been faced with temptation and I jumped into it with all the enthusiasm of a man faced with glorious temptation, and, my word, I enjoyed it. I do feel a little bad, me and my old takeaway were close, we'd been together a long time, they knew my order without me having to speak, they never left me hungry, they never complained about the weather, they didn't have to call back to check where my house was, we'd shared a lot, but, the belly is weak, sometimes it just needs a slightly different tasting curry sauce and crispier chips. Sometimes.
Last night was fandabidozy, I wasn't expecting so much, darkest February, Valentines looming, all those silly reasons people think of not to have a good time, but not you guys, nope, good times you wanted and good times you had; mosh-boshing in the pit, hipty-hoping in the middle floor, and cock-rockin' up the stairs. I saw the good times, so many different times of goodtimes, and it made my elbows feel fuzzy and warm and the corners of my mouth try to kiss my ears. That's a good thing, I think.
A special thanks to Ruth, for stepping in last minute to take control of camera duties, we think she did a good job, have a gander through the gallery and judge for yourself.
We might go for having more guest photo-monkeys in future, if any of you fancy it just let us know and we'll know that we can grab you on the night.
Next weeks top floor... Pancake Day Punk & Ska and Ska/Punk! - Can you believe it's been a month since the last one? I'm very excited about it, get your requests in now.
If you're bored tonight, Where's Mavis? recommends the Mad Ferret open mic night followed by £1/drink night at Method. If not, have fun doing whatever you're doing, try not to burn anything.
Feel free to use this note as a place to tell us anything, good or bad about Mavis, or just your life.

I write you a lovely little note every week, and yesterday I wrote a poem about pie.
It's about time you wrote me something.
(Thanks for last night it was ace, I'm pretty sure I'm falling in love with you, you smell like well bathed otter on a cloudy day, I like how your nostrils match.)

Well, I got home from Mavis last night, turned my rubbish car into my nice street (with the steering wheel, not a magic spell) and looked for a parking space. None.
The next street. None.
I had to park three streets away. Three streets! This only ever happens on a Tuesday night. What is it that makes the area around my house so popular on a Friday night? It's because I'm not there isn't it? My neighbours hate me so much that every week, as soon as I go to Mavis, they invite everybody they know round for a big street party, and then everyone gets drunk and has to leave their cars in my spaces.. MY SPACES.
Just because I like to race geese down the street at dawn on Sundays.
Whatever.
Last night was another grand one, on a personal note I had more fun than I have in ages DJing the old ska-punk on the top floor, and it warmed me elbow fuzz to see a good bunch of you skanking away to it. Well be doing that again sometime, rest assured. Jonny's bottom floor looked like a good old sweaty pit of joyful anger when I got down to see it, and Jamie seemed to be having a ball in the middle, despite us nicking his punkers some of the time.
Props to you, and you, and you, and you.
More big fun times next week, watch this space for the event invite and full details once I've written them out, probably tomorrow as I'm really quite hungry just now.
Have a grand weekend.

I'm pretty tired, and there's no good reason for this, I'm beginning to think that I do sleep aerobics while teaching advanced mathematics at night, it's the only explanation.
We opened a little late this week, and some of you ended up stood in the cold for a few minutes longer than you would have liked. I need to apologise for this, but it was unavoidable, we'd all set up and were having our Mavis Huddle (Give me an M, give me an A, give me a double Jagerbomb and a nipple massage...), when all of a sudden without warning, in through the window, a woodlands badger!
Little blighter started running round everywhere, played the quiz machine a bit, lost, ate all the electrics, did a tap-dance routine on the bar. We quite liked him, we'd have let him stay for the party, but would you believe it those EU Legimaniacs have passed a law against having badgers on licensed properties, unless the badger is Belgian and solves crimes, and this one was from Skelmersdale and was half way through an NVQ in plumbing. The girls who work the ground floor bar made some brave attempts to capture it using a humane trap they'd whipped up from the contents of their handbags and a lasso made from straws, the boys who work the top and bottom bars stood on tables waving their hands about and getting hysterical, the DJs and security lads went upstairs and played a game of Monopoly. Eventually another badger in a mini-skirt and knee high socks appeared at the fire escape, wiggled her arse and our pipe mending pest was off with his balls between his legs.
We've installed netting on the windows so it doesn't happen again.
Looked like everyone was having fun again last night, you moshed, and danced, and waltzed and twisted and made with the happies. Down in the pit particularly looked like a good one, full praise to Jonny and the Headbangers for a good team effort.
Classic / Cock Rock seemed to make a good few of you happy, how did you find it? Shall we do that one again up there?
Next week we're going all punk & ska etc up the stairs, and proper stuff, we can stick out some Pistols & Clash and all that goes with that, crack open some Dead Kennedys, indulge in the wonderful world of NoFX and Fat Wreck Chords, even go a bit Moon Ska, and onwards. Skankin' pogo good times. There will be Sublime. Start getting your requests in now so we can make sure we've got what you're looking for.
In the meantime, have yourself a good time, and remember, it's better to look a fool for a few days, than not to ask them out in the first place.
Three cheers for the fact I'm not sure how to end this blog. Hip hip....

'Scientists have discovered the footprints of the first fish that walked on land.'
No. No they haven't.
Let's ignore my complete disbelief that a footprint can be identifiable millions of years after it was made, because I'm sure those fancy pants scientists in the big city have some ever-so-smart explanation for how something this unlikely could happen, it's still a ridiculous statement to make on the national serious news show.
First up, it's not a footprint, it's a finprint if anything. Second, and more importantly, let's think about this. You're a fish, you've spent all your life swimming round in salty water chasing smaller fish and avoiding bigger fish, as your parents did, as their parents did. This one morning, probably a Thursday, you take to looking at the sloped and muddy shore and thinking 'I wonder what's up there?'. You ponder for a while, absentmindedly chomping at anything that swims past your lips, not really paying full attention to the days hunt, while you dream of what wonders lie up the muddy ramp. Eventually, you go for it, you tense your fins up ready for the effort and launch yourself at the waters edge. A struggle ensues, you slip a few times, get a big lump of something unpleasant stuck up your left nostril, but eventually you make it up, out of the water, into the air, into the new world, the thing you'd only ever heard legend of before.. dry land.
What's the first thing you do? You want someone to see what you just did, what you just found, you want credit for this. You turn round, open your pouty little mouth and yell "Oi, Fred, you'll never guess what's up here? Rocks and shit!"
And Fred will understandably come flomping up the verge the same way you did, distorting your finprint with his clumsy fat limbs and stubby snout. Then comes Pete, and Jessica, and Norma, and the whole damn gang. Within an hour of the first impression all there is on the bank is a sludgy mess of prints that not even a mother could recognise, let alone some boffin a billion years later.
They haven't found a footprint of the first ever land walking fish, they've found the mark that was made when they dropped their cagoule the day before.
Yes.
Another good one last night, which I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting, a week after the new year, term not yet started, frozen rain falling from the sky, all friction banished from our lives, I thought it might be just us chickens sat their, playing music to ourselves.
But you guys did us proud, braved it all and filled the place up, you even kept dancing when it all got a bit ridiculous in the last hour, bravo to you people, bravo indeed.
Same again next week?
Oh, we're going to keep all 3 rooms open every week now, we quite like that top floor room, it's comfy, but we won't necessarily be doing the same thing in it every week, it's up to you guys really. What do you want? What's missing from your Mavis experience at the moment? What can we do, to make you happy?
Tell us, we like to know.
Have a great week, walk careful and build snow sculptures at every opportunity. x

"Don't worry" I say, "it won't be as busy as last week, you should be fine."
The poor stand-in door lad can't have known what hit him, two days before New Years Eve, cold night, he should have been able to get a bit of book reading in while he waited for the dedicated and bold to trickle in, or at very least thumb through a copy of Nuts.
But you just kept coming, filling the place up, getting the Jagerbombs in, waving yourselves around on the dancefloors, even doing a bit of jumping about, and managing to make it yet another 'Best Night Ever' at Method, and honestly the most fun I've had at work in a long time.
A really great end to what has been, if we're honest, a testing year for Mavis. I'm not going to start waxing lyrical for yet another week about how heart warming it is that you guys seem to have taken to the new home, and how great it is to see such a diverse range of people dancing to what is a more diverse range of music that we've been able to play in years, because you've heard it all before.
So I'll just say thanks again, and I hope you have an incredible New Year.
If you haven't made your mind up about what to do on the big night, and you like your music electro / dubsteppy, I'd like to recommend Beats of Rage vs Drop at Method. Beats of Rage rejuvenated The big New Year Bash when they basement raved all night a few years ago, and I promise you the atmosphere they get tomorrow night won't be matched anywhere in Preston. If you want to keep it rock, then you know the options. Whatever you do, remember that being with your friends and concentrating on the good times is more important than being utterly rendered and chasing tail.
I also recommend kissing everyone, indiscriminately, unless they say no.
Oh, how have you guys enjoyed the top room music policy the last two weeks? You want more of that kind of stuff, or do you want to see what other tricks we have in our cupboard?
Feel free to let us know how your year has been, and your plans and resolutions for the big 2010, it seems selfish I should write down the stuff in my head every week when you have stuff in yours too.
Whatever, have fun.

Where's Mavis? / Captain's Blog 23.12.09
Whenever I turn the heating on I fall asleep, whenever I fall asleep I dream about slipping on the ice & snow and twitch myself awake again. I'm not sure what it all means, or even if it's good or bad, but that's what happens, I thought you'd enjoy knowing about it.
Last night was pretty special from where I was stood, great mix of people, new faces and old ones, and everyone getting full into the spirit of things. Bottom floor seemed to have the party going, Middle floor was a proper mix of tunes with a great atmosphere, and the Top floor was a whole world of air guitar. Full marks all round to you guys who flung yourselves into it.
How was it all for you, what did you make of the three room set up? Nice comfy sofas and a bit more choice. Suit you?
We'll be going for it again next week, full three rooms, seeing as everyone's still off work/uni/college/the sofa, so spread the word round and get a gang together. Stay tuned for an announcement on the top floor music policy for next Tuesday in the next 24 hours, or stick your suggestions in this box whilst you're waiting.
Beyond that, a huge thanks from all at Mavis to you guys for supporting us at Method over the last couple of months and making it really feel like a home, and one with loads of possibilities for the future. We hope you get the Christmas you deserve and that you have a great time whatever you get up to.
I'm now off to the Ferret to continue Christmas celebrations at their very excellent open mic night, then probably calling into Method for their big Christmas quids night. If you're in town again tonight, those are my personal recommendations.
Have a good time, all the time.

Stay tuned for an announcement on the top floor music policy for next Tuesday in the next 24 hours, or stick your suggestions in this box whilst you're waiting.
Beyond that, a huge thanks from all at Mavis to you guys for supporting us at Method over the last couple of months and making it really feel like a home, and one with loads of possibilities for the future. We hope you get the Christmas you deserve and that you have a great time whatever you get up to.
I'm now off to the Ferret to continue Christmas celebrations at their very excellent open mic night, then probably calling into Method for their big Christmas quids night. If you're in town again tonight, those are my personal recommendations.
Have a good time, all the time.

Where's Mavis? / 29.12.09 / Event Description
Does it have to actually snow on Christmas day for it to be officially a white Christmas, or does having snow on the floor do the job?
Either way, in my heart this is a white Christmas, something I never thought I'd see in Preston, something I wasn't sure I'd see again in the UK. And that is a cause for celebration!

Where's Mavis? / Captain's Blog 16.12.09
You know what's a good song? Breed by Nirvana. Very good indeed.
Of course that's not news to you, but it just came on the old pod and there was nobody nearby to say it to, so I thought I'd mention it here.
I've got to be honest with you, my papier mache construction crew hasn't grown quite as quickly as I'd have liked, but that's OK, it's a busy time of year, you've got things on your mind, socks to buy and winter snuggles to chase, we'll talk about the gluey newspaper in the new year. You just promise you'll spend this wet winter trying hats on until one makes you smile and doodling designs for the cover of your autobiography whenever there's a lull in activity.
So this week was the week I showed up late, having a prior engagement with a room full of giggling people, the 8th annual Lancashire Tickle Orgy. You should come next year, the look on the face of someone when they go to tickle someone's feet and find the nervous reflex means they have to spend the rest of the night removing a big toe from their little nostril, my word, it's a joy.
Irrelevant nonsense, sorry.
The point is, I arrived in the middle of the witching hour to find a full venue with enthusiastic dancing mobs on both floors, which warmed my cockles, and made the long day worthwhile. Jammie & Jonny then went on to play what sounded to me like a couple of the best and most varied setlists I've heard in ages, and you guys seemed to take it all in your stride and bounce, wobble and wiggle yourselves into glee. Which was terribly nice to witness.
Big one next week, 3 floors of music. I'd suggest getting your requests in early and poking your mates in the ribs until they do the same.
Most imaginative use of a piece of tinsel wins a piece of tinsel.
Whilst writing this note I was listening to How to Clean Everything by Propagandhi, at the start I deliberately turned it up just loud enough to annoy my neighbours, who play far too much Call of Duty, by the third song I felt bad and turned it down a bit. That's just how I roll.

Promo / X-Mas Factor / Event Description
OH EM GEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
It's X-Factor!, It's Danyl!!, It's Christmas!!!, It's PROMO!!!!
Ahem.
Yep, it's the last promo fo the year, the big Christmas party, the end of year bash, the winter blow out, the festive frenzy, and as no doubt you've seen, we've Cowelled it up with a bit of THE X FACTOR and invited our good mate DANYL JOHNSON down to do you a bit of a song and dance routine.
On top of that, there's:
Free Sourz Shots on Entry
Turkey Free Cranberry Sourz (Apple Sourz, Vodka, Cranberry Juice
Stocking Fillers (£1 Selected Bottles)
AND RANDOM PRICE CRASHES ALL NIGHT! Keep one eye on the bar.
And that's all just trimmings. If you think of Promo as a Christmas tree, Danyl, in this case, would be the star on top, the special drinks offers and price crashes would be baubles and tinsel, and Promo itself, with two rooms of great music and standard Promo drinks prices, would be the tree, the thing that makes your house smell of joy and wonder and provides the awesome structure on which the trimmings are built.
I'm pretty much the king of analogies.
I asked our resident X-pert for a few comments about Danyl Johnson:
- "He's brilliant. He should have won. He's fit. Will I be sacked if I snog him? He has these amazing big eyes. He's so fit. I'm going to marry him. What dressing room is he in? He can stay at mine. I'm gonna phone my mum. Mum! Mum change my bedsheets, Danyl's coming home! Prepare the preacher!"
Needless to say, we won't be letting her back stage that night.
TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW
£5 NUS / £6 Public
Essentials, Source, UCLan, SU Reception all on Fylde Rd.
Plus your beautiful Halls & CLubs Sellers.
See you on the 17th!!!

Promo / Chav & Geek / Goldie Lookin Chain / On The Day Reminder
Today I am mostly typing consecutive sentences with gradually increasing numbers of exclamation marks, the over-enthusiasm grates on me a little, but there are mathematical and aesthetic elements to it that I enjoy.
Just so you know.
It's finally here, the Promo you've requested more than any other, Chav & Geek Promo!
The Goldie Looking Chain posse have just arrived and are currently in Subway conveying their lunch orders in the only way they know how...
"You knows what I needs
A bit of herb & cheese
We want some B.M.T
For the G.L.C.
Safe as falafel!"
Do Subway even sell falafel? And if they do, is it truly safe?
A case for Panorama I think.
I'm clearly now wasting your time, and to be honest, I'm a little embarrassed that I just tried to rap about sandwiches, so I'm going to do the newsround rundown and make like a tree.
TODAYS HEADLINES
------------------------
Chav & Geek Fancy Dress Promo tonight!
You are going.
You're going to look splendid in your fancy attire.
You will be on the dancefloor pretending to be all hip hop with a stupid grin on your face while GLC play.
You might try a bit of indie, electro, dubstep upstairs after the Welshmen play.
You are a shining light.
You've been in the news a lot today, your mum will be ever so proud.

Where's Mavis? / Captain's Blog 9.12.09
For Christmas I want a small helicopter, one that's about a foot from windscreen to tail fin, and I want everyone in town to start wearing top hats so I can spend January wandering round town trying to land my new toy on people's heads.
That's a lie, for Christmas I want to put giant top hats on the roofs of buildings and persuade helicopter pilots to land on them for photo opportunities, but this is less about the choppers and more because I think buildings would look cooler if they wore hats, especially the tall multi-stories. Then in January, as the Christmas trees start to die, rather than let them fade away into brown obscurity, we can use their faded needles to fashion huge moustaches and and sideburns to add to our wonderful hat/building affairs.
The helicopters, if anything, would spoil it, though they'd probably come in handy with the construction.
If we work together we could build these hats from papier mache, a nice little winter project, who's with me? We'd be famous, we might even get on The One Show. No longer would Preston be known for its transport stations and perpetual bridesmaid of a football team. I think it would bring more money to the city than Tithebarn ever could, and at a hundreth of the price, we might get a reward, a sticky bun or something.
I'm quite excited about the whole thing.
Another fun one last night, I'm enjoying that on the ground floor we can go from Day to Remember, to a 13 year old Beastie Boys remix, to Chase & Status, to Limp Bizkit, to Goldfinger, to Finch, to Kings of Leon, to Jay Z, to NoFx, to The Blackout, to MGMT, to Bullet for My Valentine, to Ram Jam, to Pendulum, to Greenday. I'm enjoying that in the pit more and more requests are getting played and those who live metal can dance metal, hear metal, talk metal and metal metal. Metal.
More of the same next week, already looking forward to it, then we're into our big Christmas party on 22nd December, and our end of year bash on the 29th. Stay tuned for announcements related to those very very soon.
On a vaguely related note, if we were to open our upstairs room on a Tuesday, make it a three roomer, and we put you in charge, what would you do with it? This subtle guise for a customer survey is your quiz for the day, best of luck with it.
Have a great weekend, and let me know if you're up for being on The Big Hat Squad.

Where's Mavis? / 08.12.09 / Event Description
Well, the heating is on more and more these days, which means a lot more cosiness, a lot more falling asleep on the sofa, good times all round really.
How's your weekend been? You ready for the week to start again? Of course you're not, nobody is ever ready for Monday, no matter how much time you have to prepare for it, it always seems to sneak up on you, catch you with your pants down as it were. Shame on you.
But it's ok, because after Monday comes Tuesday, and Tuesday, as we all know, is the best day of the week, better even than Pizza Day, if you can imagine such a thing.
So, we'll see you down at Method with your happy face on?
Excellent.
Loads of drinks £1.50 as ever. Doors open 10pm, just £1 in before 11pm if you click 'Attending' to this event, £2 all night otherwise.
Metal room downstairs, Rock, Punk, Ska, Emo, Indie etc on the ground floor.
Should be another great party. Any requests for the DJs?

Promo / Chav & Geek / Goldie Lookin Chain / Event Description
CHAV & GEEK PROMO!!!
WITH GOLDIE LOOKIN CHAIN!!!
Sorry to shout, I got a bit over excited, the geek in me became over stimulated by the burberry wallpaper they've put up in the office and I couldn't help myself. You should see it in here, it's a festival of hoop earrings and calculators, all morning we've been writing 5318008 and tittering in our trackie bottoms. There's a bulldog in the corner wearing a Starfleet uniform. and the work experience guys have been quoting Anchorman at each other all morning, but that's nothing to do with Chav & Geek Promo, that's just all the ever do.
So - 10th December, THE MOST REQUESTED THEME NIGHT OF THE YEAR!
CHAV & GEEK FANCY DRESS PARTY
Cider at £1.50
Test Tube Shots at £1.50
Double Smirnoff £1.75
VK £1.30
Corkys £1
AND
GOLDIE LOOKIN CHAIN
I love Goldin Lookin Chain, I truly do, and I'll tell you why. The year they released Greatest Hits they played Leeds Festival, they were the first band on and I made everybody in my campsite get up and watch them. They moaned, it was early, they were hungover, many of them looked like the business end of donkeys. I dragged them to the stage, pointed their heads towards the silly welshmen pacing up and down. and I watched, gradually, the smiles grow on their faces and the spring return to their step. From that point on, we were set for the day.
G.L.C. got the party started.
And on Thursday they will do the same for you.
Tickets on sale now from Source, SU Reception, and of course Halls & Clubs Sellers. They're already selling fast so if you want a £2.50 one I suggest acting today, it's gonna be a whopper!

Promo / Pyjama Party / Sergeant / On The Day Reminder
UCLaners in pyjamas are coming down the stairs,
UCLaners in pyjamas are coming down in pairs,
UCLaners in pyjamas are chasing teddy bears,
'cos on Thursdays they all try to catch them unawares!
Makes no sense, no sense at all, the last line doesn't even scan right. 8 years that show ran, and its theme tune was, at best nonsense, at worse advocating the sneaking up on innocent teddy bears. What a world we live in. Best not to think about really.
So let's think about Promo instead! PYJAMA PARTY PROMO!!!
TONIGHT!
Hot off the hot ticket hotline is this hot news. SOURCE & SU RECEPTION have SOLD OUT of £2.50 early bird tickets. Hot news, hot indeed. You can still grab your £4 ones though, Reception 'til 5pm and Source 'til later, save you paying the extra gold coin on the door.
EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT, EXTRA!
We've just had a call from Shelf, the Shot Elf, Chief Elf of Father Shotmas, he's heard all about our Pyjama Party tonight and thinks it's a super idea, as Shelf and the Shot Elves always work in their pyjamas, it's just comfier, and to help us celebrate he's sending Shotdolf the Shotdeer down to us quick smart with a sleigh full of shots.
Shots.
The upshot of this ludicrous piece of prose is that THE FIRST 300 PEOPLE IN TONIGHT WILL GET A FREE SHOT!!!
That should get the jim jam jollies started nicely.
A brief recap on the night ahead:
Theme: Pyjama Party
Downstairs: Anthems, Dance, R&B, Pop and more.
Upstairs: Indie, Electro, Dubstep.
Live: Sergeant & The Empire State
Brief: Sing songs, spin stories, love, laugh and drink wine.
You: Are beautiful, no matter what they say.
I: have written too much.
Ciao for now.
P.s. Look at that, all week and I haven't mentioned P.J. & Duncan once, get it? PJ!
Shush.
UCLaners in pyjamas are coming down in pairs,
UCLaners in pyjamas are chasing teddy bears,
'cos on Thursdays they all try to catch them unawares!
Makes no sense, no sense at all, the last line doesn't even scan right. 8 years that show ran, and its theme tune was, at best nonsense, at worse advocating the sneaking up on innocent teddy bears. What a world we live in. Best not to think about really.
So let's think about Promo instead! PYJAMA PARTY PROMO!!!
TONIGHT!
Hot off the hot ticket hotline is this hot news. SOURCE & SU RECEPTION have SOLD OUT of £2.50 early bird tickets. Hot news, hot indeed. You can still grab your £4 ones though, Reception 'til 5pm and Source 'til later, save you paying the extra gold coin on the door.
EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT, EXTRA!
We've just had a call from Shelf, the Shot Elf, Chief Elf of Father Shotmas, he's heard all about our Pyjama Party tonight and thinks it's a super idea, as Shelf and the Shot Elves always work in their pyjamas, it's just comfier, and to help us celebrate he's sending Shotdolf the Shotdeer down to us quick smart with a sleigh full of shots.
Shots.
The upshot of this ludicrous piece of prose is that THE FIRST 300 PEOPLE IN TONIGHT WILL GET A FREE SHOT!!!
That should get the jim jam jollies started nicely.
A brief recap on the night ahead:
Theme: Pyjama Party
Downstairs: Anthems, Dance, R&B, Pop and more.
Upstairs: Indie, Electro, Dubstep.
Live: Sergeant & The Empire State
Brief: Sing songs, spin stories, love, laugh and drink wine.
You: Are beautiful, no matter what they say.
I: have written too much.
Ciao for now.
P.s. Look at that, all week and I haven't mentioned P.J. & Duncan once, get it? PJ!
Shush.
