The hosts started congregating at the Marquis of Landsdowne pub at around 10pm to wait for the guests to arrive from their final course. Phil and Janna were there first, post-kebab, securing the area. Sian, Vera and Marg arrived next, having been given the signal that the guests were nearly done. Vera was digging the 70s choonage basslines. Marg was up and down like a meercat watching the window. Sian rung Brad and told him to hurry up.
The guests finally arrived, delivered by Denise, all in high spirits. Marg met Toby, Robin and Christina for the first time. Frivolity prevailed. Emma arrived with a gang who had been following the action from home. Audrey made her way on a bus. Pints and the like were consumed. Denise swapped places with Brad. Vera disappeared into the night with her rucksack full of chef gear. The party made its move further up the road to the Moustache Bar...
Simon and Jimmy of We Play Music were on the decks, (see www.weplaymusic.co.uk ) Not entirely sure what went on so dark and heaving it was... However... we did just make out Catherine and Toby in a corner. [!]
And after that they still wanted more! So we trooped down the road to Brad and Denise's who hosted, once again, this motley crew. Not around a table this time, but flung across the sofa, the floor, and taking turns on the bean bag. Simon and Jimmy rolled. We had the three Beastie Boys tracks. GIRLS. Eugenia and Michael wandered home around 4 [!] ...the rest of us were hoofed out at 5. And there it was!

Yeah, i was planning on being home by midnight... all credit to the entertainment that we were still all out till the early hours. Whens the next one? I'll just pretend to be surprised and not know what's happening.
sounds like a resounding success.
When are you going to tell the story of how it all started?
soon, soon, am working on it... (:
Keep drifting off after the first line
