Ain't no party like a 'laces party... and this is the last chance you'll get for a while

15:21 / 26.08.03

So I'm off to the fabled land where everyone can be spanked whenever they want to (provided they spit their gum on the street). I've got two weeks left in London, which will be crowned by a nice, fat, debauched party.

It'd be lovely to have a representative sample of 'lithers there, (and several of you had better fuckin be there...).

The details:

I have hired a fifth-floor warehouse/disused office space in Hackney with views over London. It is filled with pretentious but interesting 'art objects'. I have engaged the services of some video projection artists. I have a big fat soundsystem. I have DJs. I have a bar. I have the place until at least 5am. It. Will. Rock.

Places, however, are limited, so if you think you can make it, please PM me, and I will put your name on the list, and send you an invite and password. Security will be tight so please, no unknown mates.

Lookin forward to it...

Will definately try to get to see you hon. I have a handfasting to go to on the Sunday, so wont be able to party with you properly, but it sounds like a blast and we won't get to do this again for quite awhile.

Do you have space for busy lightweights?

10:01 / 27.08.03

Ahem. Dress code (give me an excuse to go to Brick Lane)?

15:39 / 27.08.03

Dress code has been through several iterations to date.

e.g. Wolf in sheep's clothing

Sheep in wolf's clothing

Street life

Early 80s streetgang

Gold and grime

I'm currently leaning towards not having one, but I know you don't want to hear that anna, so tell me which of those you think is best...

16:53 / 27.08.03

I like sheep in wolf's clothing- lots of scope and it means everyone's got to look dangerous

Regrettable Juvenilia

19:54 / 27.08.03

Early 80s streetgang

Save a lotta hipsters getting ready, wouldn't it?

ONLY NICE THINGS

20:01 / 27.08.03

I'd love to pay my respects, although I fear I would be terribly out of place and would probably not last the pace...and that's before we even get onto the dress code.

20:18 / 27.08.03

But Haus you're always a... wolf in wolf's clothing. Okay, I'll drop that one.

22:32 / 27.08.03

Haus, i'm sure you could show most of us a thing or two in the dress department

didja get my pm, sweetness? finances permitting, i'm there...

oh and gold/grime would get my vote, if yr going to have one.

or Singapore Sling? allowing for cheesy/hipster 80s wear, ott orientalism (and i'm using the word advisedly here, before anyone jumps me), or people to come dressed as a bloody cocktail if they so desire?

Cherry Bomb

10:07 / 28.08.03

Aaargh! Would love to go but will be in the ol' US of A that weekend. Well, have a lovely time anyway...

Waaaaah! I'm in America and not back until November. But I'll raise a drink to you when I am at SPX that weekend.

14:45 / 02.09.03

i'm in, somehow, have sent you a pm, gis the details hon.

The Natural Way

15:31 / 02.09.03

Alright, I'm moving tomorrow, so there's at least some chance I'll be along. Although, TBH, I might be better off saving the money for bills and such. We'll see. If anyone's driving up from Brighton, then please PM me!

I would LOVE to be there, there's a few lithers I'd like to see and I'm sure it will ROCK!

The Natural Way

15:33 / 02.09.03

Oh, and PM Sauron if yr up for a bit of the old fiery eyeage.

I think he's lurking hereabouts at the mo'.

i am quite terrified by the prospect of this do, mainly for the same reasons Haus is, but I nevertheless intend to be there. Oh and any pre-party meeting details would be of interest to me, obviously, there's no way i'm going this alone, that would be just insane.

15:27 / 03.09.03

Don't worry everyone, I'm wearing a white Tulle skirt, you're not going to look as odd as me. Or as magnificent. And I'm scared as well and I refuse to go with less than four people! Bill have you got my phone number? I'll PM it to you, I have no idea what we're doing beforehand but I'm sure if we all stick together (and with the help of artificial substances) we'll be fine while quaking in our small but stylish boots.

16:09 / 03.09.03

i'm quaking in my large, and almost totally unstylish hiking boots. Yep, you read that right. Hiking boots. To a 'Laces party.

I'm doomed!

Is there room for one more? It's about time I did something different on a Friday night and I'm sure you'll all be good company. Trouble is, I'm completely London illiterate so if someone can PM me a mobile number then I can stop stressing about wandering round the backstreets of Hackney the whole night.

18:42 / 03.09.03

Bill, it'll be fine, you'll have people panicking and presuming yr ahead of the loop. *g*

and i'm travelling up from brighton and going to a scrungy pub first, so i doubt i'll be that spectacular...(though the temptation to come as 'mutton dressed as lamb' is almost overmastering...)

In the directions from jef, he reckons bussing from old street is easiest, so how about meeting at the foundry and heading from there? that's reasonably easy isnit it?

what time? 10/1030 okay? i'll be elswhere first but can make that...

19:39 / 03.09.03

My god BiP, you better be spectacular, I need my partner in fashion crime (as in not being in fashion but everyone melting for the clothes anyway. Of course by everyone I mean me and a select few who are equally as sensible and brilliant).

20:21 / 03.09.03

well, i'm unlikely to be fashionable, but i might try for spectacular...have just been ogling my clothes in fact. pondering a white pvc/velcro skirt/apron thing, or the ever-reliable corset/combats combo...

20:26 / 03.09.03

PVC! PVC!

20:30 / 03.09.03

shall we hijack this thread to talk clothes? hows the foundry for you guys, nice and easy and a short hop from there to the thing...

yeah, i like it but am trying to figure out what to wear with...

20:31 / 03.09.03

i have a red vest, black/silver stripy knitted vest, black shirt in the running atm...

20:41 / 03.09.03

The Foundry's fine for me, Old Street's nice and easy to get to. I like the sound of the stripy vest btw- am a major fan of silver and I imagine it would suit your skin very nicely!

09:56 / 04.09.03

The Foundry is splendid for me, because i'll fit in sartorially there in a way i just won't for the remainder of the evening. Cya there.

10:34 / 04.09.03

Honestly, guys, don't sweat the dress code thing too much - it's not a big deal. I probably won't even have an outfit, having been too busy doing annoying and stressful moving stuff this week to go shopping much...

10:39 / 04.09.03

But we like dressing up!

Well I do anyway and I don't see where else I can get away with a tulle skirt (if I can even manage on Friday) so I'm damn well wearing it and I need BiP to look spectacular (spectacle of the other) so that I have a security fence. Plus you always look fabulous, I'm like a big fat cheap slug in comparison.

13:15 / 04.09.03

as she said, we *like* dressing up. it's what we do

and any reason to talk outfits is a good thing...

so, what time's good for people at the Foundry? 10?
